This Ford news will agitate
big banking gentlemen, for many
reasons. When Ford needed 81
HUNDRED millions Or 50 recentlEs

tell Ford how he should manage
his business and who should be
on his board Of directors. He
stood them al ollNt heir heads and

In addition TO that he has q
plan for some new kind Of money,
better than gold. You can imagine
how that makes 4 banker feel.

costs little. The enterprise viii
include building two thousand
moving picture theaters In
China, and making films there
to suit the Chinese taste, also
the manufacture Of automobiles.
IF successful, .he American
scheme win give work to
many Chinese, and at higher
wages than they have ever

the enterprise will have every

making goods there, where men
get ten or twenty cents 3 day,
to be sold here, where they must
earn, to live, &C least two or
three dollars day, that would
call for thinking and special
tariff making.
