Detroit. Mich, Aug. 17.-Develop-
ment of Mexico industrially and ag-
riculturally to a point where 1t will
take its place as one of the leading
powers of the world is the plan of
Henry Ford
This has been learned from sources
close to the manufacturer. Mr.. Ford,
1t was learned. proposes to end for
ever the internal strife in the south
ern republic by putting people to
work." as he expresses it, by making
it possible for the poems to obtain
educations and by devious ways ele-
waiting in the country to the highest
possible standard.
Wants No Idle Hands.
The motor manufacturer wants to
keep the hands and minds of the
Mexican common people occupied
so they will have no time for fight
ting" This. is became known, is the
substance of Mr.. Ford's theory, one
that he hopes to carry out in the
near future by erection of a number
of factories throughout the more i'm
portant states. In short, 1t was said
he hopes to reveal to the people OF
Mexico how they can help them
selves.
The first step In the program may
be taken soon with establishment OF
Ford motor assembling plant III
the state of Coahuila, probably in Sal
! tillo. Business interests Of that city
( and the governor of the state are
known here to be eager to bring
about the Industrial development. Mr.
Ford. It Ia known. would enter upof
his development program Immediately
upon erection % + necessary faotorl
! buildings Similar enterprises would
| be established by Mr.. Ford in othei
parts of the country. II the plan IL
carried out, it was intimated.
| There has been talk that Mr.. Fore
is considering extending the same
] economic assistance to Haiti and SantC

among the most resourceful in natuTt

and with the guiding genius of {
Henry Ford would be the means o.
making thousands of black people
economically Independent, and othel

GREAT FUN ON LIE oCEAN

The finest comedy on earth is being
enacted on the ocean these days. One
of the liquor boats that has been
bringing contraband spirits to this
country from Europe, and just out
side the twelve-mile limit sealing it to
other boats that make a run for pro
hibition America, was boardd by the
captain of such a dealer.
The wet cargo was examined and
approved by the purchaser, who stood
with a big roll of bills in his hands. It
was loaded on the strange vessel.
Then the man pretending to buy,
pocketed his money, drew his wea-
pons, climbed back on his own vessel,
and steamed away.
The liquor was contraband. If the
pirate who robbed the pirate can get
to Europe with it he may sell it legal
~. Anyhow, it is a turn that serves
the viOlator of American law right.
In some ways it resembles the fam
Gus smashing of bars by Carrie Ma
ton when the lawless liquor interests
tried to ''bull' their way into this
stat cas- they are now seeking to do
in the United States.
The time is not far distant when
the American navy will sink on sight
the vessels that seek to bring liquor
into this country. In the meantime,
let them be robbed. And let those
who want liquor go to Europe and
drink themselves to DEATH Kansas
