States" Representative John
son said:
"Do not let your sympathies
for wrong information sway
YOU as Sacco and Vanzetti, the
Italian bandits and murderers,
approach the day of their ex-
ecution, Thursday, August /.
They also are anarchists and
but that fact has nothing to do
with their convictions nor with
their approaching execution.
They should never have been
admitted to the United States,
and under the new immigration
Fact, could not have been admit
ted"
The congressman expressed
the belief that they had had a
fair trial, and continued:
Demonstrations may go in
other lands. That is the affair
OF other governments. Foreign
demonstrations can neither af-
feet nor brighten the United
States government, nor that of
any state.
Aliens domiciled in this
country should remember that
if they partake in anti-govern-
ment demonstrations here they
end their chances for citizen
ship, which now that is harder
to get, is that much more to be
desired. Besides, they will be
liable to deportation under the
1919 act which is among the
most important statutes of the
United States.
Further, we hope soon to
put through Congress a law by
which naturalized citizens who,
after swearing allegiance to
the United States, swear indy
ing allegiance to Mussolini or
any other dictator, who sup
port any other government.
may be deprived of their natur
alization.
"The time has come when
such acquired citizenship shall
not be used by radicals to the
danger of this government"

New Ford Makes 65 Mi. An
Hour With High Average
Edsel Ford Tells of Experiments With New Model to
Be Placed on Market Within
Few Weeks

these first new cars is costing
millions of dollars. But it viii
give us the complete assurance
that we are offering the public
a car tested and proven as a
new car should be.
"Some of the things we have
discovered already in the tests
lot these new cars are interest
ing.
1--WE have accomplished with
them a speed of 65 miles per
hour which is slightly higher
than we had expected.
1--WE have found that they
!can be driven for hours at an
average speed of more than SO
miles per hour without discom-
fort to driver and passengers
and without harm to motor and
other equipment.
110 Miles In 2 Hours
'"n a recent test one of these
new cars was driven 10 miles
in two hours. During the first
half-hour the car travelled 27
miles. The car covered exactly
SOL miles the first hour of the
trip.
This test was made over av-
erage road conditions. Part of
the route lay through level cou-
ntrv and part through hill cou-
ntry where the roads were
steep and winding. The day on
which the test was made was
somewhat warmer than the av-
erage summer day in this part
of the country, but the motor
was not overheated during the
run and examination of the
motor at the conclusion of the
run diclosed no i'll effects. The
car consumed less gasoline and
oil dnring the test than any of
our previous models we have
put to similar tests. The ignit-
ion, cooling and carburetion
systems performed perfectly
throughout the trip.
eve have tested this new
car for getaway and pickup
with many other types of auto
mobiles and have found that it
surpasses all of them with one
exception in quick starting and
acceleration. The tests already
made show that it is faster.
smoother, more rugged and
more flexible than we had hop
ed for in the early stages of de-
signing.
1--WE have known from the be
ginning that this new Ford
would be a handsome car. Ex-
periments have been made with
a wide variety of color schem-
es and body designs and all
these have been decided upon.
when this car is formally
introduced within the next few
weeks, we shall be able to say
that it is the best and most
moderate priced automobile we
know how to build"

DETROIT, Aug. 1.-THE fol
lowing statement was issued
here today by Edsel B. Ford,
president of the Ford Motor
Company:
1.-THE new Ford automobile is
now an accomplished fact. The
engineering problems affecting
it's design and equipment and
affecting also its manufacture
have all been solved.
i" But before a single car OF
the new type is offered for sale
to the public each part will
have been tested under every
condition which we have been
able to discover in more than
twenty years Of building auto
mobiles for use all over the
world.
eve know now exactly what
this new car is. We have built
a number of these cars and
they have been performing ev-
en- better than we had hoped
for under a variety of condlt-
ions.
eve know also what is need
ed as to personnel and factory
equipment in order to produce
these new Ford cars in greater
numbers than any manufactur
err has ever attempted before.
The work of retooling our
plants throughout the country
to prepare for the heaviest pro-
duction schedule we have ever
undertaken, is now nearly COM
plete.
Must Perform
"But we realize that any new
automobile that is to gain and
hold public esteem today, whet-
her it shall sell for $500 sor $40,
900, must perform exactly as
it is designed to perfom. No
automobile manufacturer, in
this day and time should allow
the public to do his testing and
proving for him. The Ford Mot
tor Company cannot afford to
permit the automobile user to
discover imperfections in these
new models.
1--WE haven't discovered any
faults in the finished new Ford
car, but we are taking nothing
for granted. If there are any
faults they shall be found and
remedied before any of the cars
are offered for sale.
when the Model T Ford car
was designed more than twen-
tv years ago, no one could fore
see the wide variety of condit-
ions under which it would op-
crate. It did not occur to us
that that automobile would be
expected to perform as salts
factorily in Alaska as in South
Africa. We knew little about
the varying effects of climatic
conditions in Boston and in Co
on, upon automobile motors
and other equipment. We had
yet to discover that carburet.
ion at sea level presented one
definite problem, while carbur.
elton at very high attitudes
presented an entirely different
problem.
"Many of these difficulties
were first brought to light by
people who had bought our cars
and used them under those di
verse conditions. These people
put their cars to tests which
we could not have duplicated
in that day. We had to remedy
faults as they were discovered
BY the car owners in actual use
Public Informed
"But twenty years of manu-
facture have taught us tina
the only good automobile is tn,
automobile which will do wha
it is designed to do whereve
it is put to work. The experien
ce of those twenty years ha
taught us also that the publ
of today knows more abou
automobiles than ever befor
and expects more of them.
