Ford's Nitrate Plant Offer
Editorial from New York Herald
February 1927

February l, 1929.
Henry Ford's offer for the govern
ments power and nitrate plants at
Muscle Shoals does not look like q
good business proposition for the gov
ernment. 1t carries no assurance of
benefit to the American farmer. this
feature of it being the reason congress
and the administration have shown Sc
much interest in the Ford scheme.
There is nothing in the proposal as
it is laid before congress to show that
Ford binds himself either to produce
fertilizer nitrates cheaply for the
farmer, or even to produce any ferti-
lizer nitrates at all. The government
is asked to pour fifty millions more
into the war plant, getting back very
low interest rate on the new money it
ruts in. But when the only thing
that could possibly justify further ex-
penditure would be the assurance Of
ample fertilizer material for or agri-
culture at lower cost no guaranty
whatever is given Of any such thing.
AS matter of fact, the common
sense thing for the United States gov
crnment to do with the Muscle Shoals
project is not to spend another nickel
on 1t. AS a war emergency expedi-
ent, begun to get explosives which
had TO be obtained at whatever cost.
1t was necessary measure. If the
war had continued the government
might have had to spend hundreds of
millions of dollars more on Muscle
Shoals and the money under such cir
cumstances would have been rightly
spent. But, the war over and no fur
ther government use for the plant ex-
isting, the governments course as a
sound business organization is to get
out, get out quickly and at the mini
mum of cost.
Instead of sinking fifty millions
more Of the Taxpayers money on the
Muscle Shoals venture the government
could better sell lie outright, lock, stock

and barrel, to Henry Ford, or anybody
else that wants it and makes the high
est offer for it. Let the buyer take it
and invest his own money in it in try
ing to make the thing a business sue
cess. For the matter Of that, the gov.
ernment would do better to give the
Muscle Shoals white elephant away, il
it could not sell it for cold cash, than
to pour any more Of the taxpayers
money into it.
