THINKS F0RDLEAST
FIT FOR PRESIDENCY
Debs Says Auto Manufacturer
Would Make Great Mistake
by Running.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 26.-No man is
less fitted for the presidency of the
United States than Henry Ford, Eu-
gene V. Debs, several times socialist
candidate for President, told news
paper men last night upon his arrival
to open his campaign for the socialist
party.
Explaining his attitude as a pros
pective candidate of a third party Mr.
Debs said the automobile manufac-
turer was very strange and disturb
ing factor in the political situation.
Il cannot conceive of him as a presi-
Dental candidate" he stated. He will
make very grave mistake in allow
ing himself to run for President. He
understands the making of automo-
biles. He has a great genius, the
greatest of its kind in the world, so
far as the automobile industry is con-
cerned, but he would absolutely go
out of his field of triumph by en-

of the world? Who are we to set
ourselves UP as stereotyping the earth
in defiance of philosophy, science,
logic, progress and development"
In referring to criticism of his first
address in America on his present
tour he said:
'I cannot RECALL one single word
that was not carefully chosen and I
cannot recall one single word l can.
or wish to withdraw. His remarks
which drew criticism had to do with
the ideals and aims of President Will
son at the peace conference.
The British people and Europe
have no grievance against the Amer
lean mission to the conference and it's
attitude on the war" he said. The
attitude 1t was asked to assume was
entirely out of harmony with it's
fundamental conception and historical
traditions. AT Paris we had no
choice except to seize the views there
given as the considerate judgment of
the American people. Had we done
otherwise We would have put an in
suit and affront on your great
Executive"
Lord Birkenhead said discussion as
to who won the war was Improbable,
but he believed Americas adhesion to
the cause of the allies at the critical
stage of the struggle destroyed the
morale of the German nation and
soldiers.

It is understood the American

with the warcraft alterations.
An admiralty official informed

WHAT Is
Double Gum Dipped?

of sheeted rubber are then pressed upon
each side of the cord fabric in a process
called "caIendering." Thus there is double
assurance that each separate cord is CONF
pletely submerged in live, springy rubber.
The deterioration to tires caused BY
internal friction is well known by ex-
perienced car owners. Excessive heat is
generated that literally burns away many
miles of service.
In Firestone Cords, internal wear is prac-
tically eliminated. Gum Dipping makes
them stronger and more resilient. 1t is
largely responsible for the buoyance and
easy-riding Firestone users experience.
There is a good dealer near you who
sells and services Firestone Cords. Go
to him this month if you are looking for
the way to reduce your tire costs.

Menace to Living Standards.

"In spite Of restrictive immigra-
ton. the United States Steel Cor
poration seems to have done very
well with its net earnings of $41O,-
O00, 900 in 1922" said johnson: II
the immigration laws are relaxed for
every immigrant who will come as
a possible employee of the steel and
other corporations, the time Will
come to drag down the living stand
ards OF the United States. These
CORPORATIONS want cheaper labor.
Cheap labor makes a cheap country.
Most appeals these days for more
liberal immigration laws are based
on the idea of selection. Selection for
what? From Mr.. Gary's standpoint
the answer is for working in the
steel mills.

QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP OF
 LABRADOR MAY 60 TO LONDON

OTTAWA, Jan. IS. - The bleak territory of Labrador, long q no mans land between the Dominion of Canada and the island colony of Newfoundland, will become Canad- ian soil if Newfoundland receives der price. This became known when negotiations between the two coun- tries on the subject of Labrador were reopened here recently. Rep resentatiyos of Canada and New toupdland are busily engaged search ing the archives and studying old maps, preparing to argue the owner hip of Labrador before the Privy Council in London sometime this year.
 The latest proposal, it became Snown, is that Canada assume the Newfoundland national debt of $50.- 350, GOO, and take title to Labrador. This suggestion. it was understood, was put forward by Sir Patrick Ma 1fath, representing the Old Colony. Canadian representatives, while ex- pressing willingness to pay cash for tAe territory, set its value at $10.- 100000. Should an agreement be reached the pending litigation be- lore the Priyy Council. the final court of appeal in the British Elm pire, would be dropped.
