In this issue of The Times will be
found in full the proposal of Henry
Ford to the Federal Government for
the handling and operating of the
Muscle Shoals proposition. This pro-
position is made in plain words and
straightforward manner, Just as a big
business man as is Mr.. Ford, who ex-
poets to work that immense PROPOSE
ton at the smallest percentage of
profit, would insist in clothing such
proposal. 1t is evident that he is the
one man with both finances and bust
ness ability sufficient to handle that
proposition on a basis that would
bring to the producers throughout the
country the greatest amount Of bene-
fit. Yet indications ffoWol are this
proposition, which he had evidently
determined to interest himself in
wholly for the public good, will be
defeated. Does that look like good
anier ic aiiisiI? TV, IL cei tainiy does
not iN8f are the interests who are
engaged In defeating Ford's PROPOSE
tion American interests. They are
the international Jewish interests. 1t
is the very same interests that Ford
has been fighting so stfenuously for
some time past. 1t is the same jew
ish interests that is said to now con-
troll about IS per cent. of the wealth
Of the world. If such soulless and in.
sidious interests are to come into

Peeping around the various corners as
he came to them As though he were
playing a lonesome game of Il spy.
His conduct attracted the attention of
the city marshal, whoed ask him what
it all meant. The farmer replied that
