 BOO Davidson Building

800 Davidson Building
 Washington. January 1S.-(Special.) One of the principal handicaps which featured the negotiations between the Secretary of War and Henry Ford of Detroit, having for their object the leasing of the governments proper ties at Muscle Shoals, was the fact that the Secretary thought Mir. Ford insincere. and MT. Ford always con sidered the Secretary more or less in sympathy with the moneyed interests of the country
 The Secretary of War is practical business man who on every proposi tion insists on being shown. MT. Ford is an idealist. There is no funda- mental basis of sympathy between them.
 The Secretary did not believe that MT. Ford would build new Detroit on tho banks of the Tennessee; that with the Muscle Shoals power he would give employment to 100000 men; or that he would connect Muscle Shoals to Detroit by an Ohio river barge line, and to Mobile by rail- road. The Secretary furthermore, was not impressed with the press

congressional authority. BuN he could have refused to send 1t to Non gress. This is an electione year. and unquestionably the political element brought forth that concession.
 Ford Suspicious of Weeks N
 On the other hand. Mir. Ford did not believe that MT. Weeks was sincere in his representation that he was anx- ious to make a deal with the manu fscturer. He thought the Secretary influenced by the trusts which he thought fighting Muscle Shoals. He thought. also, that Secretary Mellon, head of the treasury department, was antagonistic because future aluminium manufacture at Muscle Shoals would compete with his own manufacture.
 But MT. Ford said nothing of this, although such impressions were ad- mitted by one of his agents in per sonal letter which, as- result of theft or otherwise, became public property. But when the negotiations were com pleted, he spoke his mind" He as- sailed the Secretary of War. intimat- ing that he was subservient to the moneyed interests and the fertilizer trusts. He declared, finally, that he

 And thus because there was no common ground on which Ford and Che Secretary could stand, the most irridescent dream ever involving the industrial future of Alabama, may never materialize. The fate of the Ford offer at the hands of Congress is certainly in jeopardy.
 Real Hopeful Feature There Is this hopeful feature: As 1 result of the extended negotiat tions Muscle Shoals stands revealed as a project of infinite potentiality. It cannot be classified as junk" Re- publicans who. from partisan reasons, 1 so declared on other occasions, must swallow their words.

 Should Congress accept the Fore offer and the legislation escape the veto the problem Is solved. If Con gress declines, what then shall the republican administration do? It would face the alternative of putting up the money for the completion of Wilson dam, or leasing the property to power companies which in turn for the power would In all probability, complste the dam
 If Foed's offer Is not accepted. Utopian dreams would vanish in thin air. But from a practical business standpoint, all would not be lost by any means. Wilson dam will be com pleted. Every observer in Washing ton agrees as to that

Propounded Many Questions

Before statement of his attitude, he propounded questions to Ford. He de- sired information as to how he would put his projects into operation. He asked regarding processes for the manufacture of fertilizer with Muscle Shoals facilities. MT. Ford replied that he was not a chemist but that Thomas A. Edison said it could be done.
 And then the Secretary asked Mir. Ford to withdraw demands which the Secretary could not fulfill; to aban- con an insistence on a 100-year con tract because the law limited leases to 50 years. When Ford refused. the Secretary conceived an idea that the manufacturer was not as anxious as he had seemed to be to acquire Mus cle Shoals-that. in other words. he was insisting on conditions which it would be impossible for the Secretary to accept.
 /. It may be stated as fact that the Secretary did not think that the re vised Ford offer was advantageous to the government But he did not reject it as he had rejected the first offer. On the contrary, he emulated Pontius Pilate. and washing his hands of the affair sent 1t to Congress- He could not have accepted 1t without
