Weeks to Confer
With Ford About
Muscle Shoals
Secretary of War Prepares
Questions on Nitrate Plant
to Submit to Detroit
Manufacturer.

Washington, Jan. R.-Secrctary
Weeks arranged today to confer with
Henry Ford and his advisers to-
morrow, in all effort to adjust dif-
ferenccs between government Of
ficals and the Detroit manufacturer,
relative to the latter's proposal to
purchase and lease the nitrate and
water power projects at Muscle
Shoals, Ala. The conference was ex-
pected to conclude the long pending
negotiations and make it possible
for the war secretary to take final
action within two weeks.
1t was stated definitely that un-
less alterations were agreed to in
the conference, the offer could not
be submitted to congress with fav-
orablc recommendation.
Secretary Weeks was known to
have prepared a QUESTIONABLE to
present to Mr.. Ford for answer. The
result Of the answers. it was said,
would go far toward bringing the
two groups to an understanding.
Officials described the questions as
aimed at provisions OF the offer deal
ing with future operation of the plants
at Muscle Shoals. One was said
to involve the future use of the
plants if experiments provide COM
mercial fertilizer compounds could
not be manufactured at a profit.
Along this line, it was understood,
the secretary would asks what Mr..
Ford would decide upon as sub
stitute product, whether it would be
something for the national good and
how long he. would be willing to
manufacture fertilizer at loss and
whether he would be willing to give
a sufficient surety bond to the gov.
ernment to guarantee production OF
fertilizer compounds despite possible
losses through its continued produc-
ton.
1t was suggested as probable that
Mr.. Ford would ask for time in
which to study the questions before
attempting to answer them. Two
weeks was said to be reasonable
allowance for this.
