Thousands upon thousands Of orders
for the new Ford car have been re-
ceived since last Friday. These and
the advance orders placed with US
by motorists even before the car was
officially announced, will keep the
entire Ford plant working day and
night for weeks to come.
Such figures are clear and unmis-
taxable reflection of the value that
has been built into the new Ford
car. 1t is, WITHOUT question, the out
standing purchase Of all time in the
Ight-car field.

All day long and far into
the night, great crowds
gathered in hundreds Of
Ford salesrooms from Maine
to Florida and from New
York to San Francisco.
Never has such interest been
shown in a new car. Never
has any new car SO far
exceeded expectations.
; People knew that Ford
was making a new car. They
knew it was a good car.
They had read announce
ments about it. But they
had no idea it would be a
car like this. Their quick
appreciation Of it is shown
bythe record breaking sales.

rity and the stronger Britain is on
sea, as on land, the better France Is
satisfied. On the other hand, by the
same pact Britain guarantees Ger
many against France, and any con.
flict between America and Britain
would leave Germany helpless be-
tween France and Poland.
In reality the thing goes much
deeper. Vaguely conscious of the
fact that the World War utterly
changed the position of Europe, weak
ened it's influence, reduced it's power.
equally aware of the concomitant rise
in American importance, Europe has
not been able to find any real evil
dence as to what America means to
do with it's power and quite naturally
yields to the suspicion that we will.
in the end, employ that power in the
traditional European way.
At all times and under all circum-
stances the American riddle continues
to challenge European attention. At
the end of the war and until the over
throw of the Wilson regime, Europe
had our role all cut out for us. 1t
accepted Mr.. Wilson's program at
face value. We were to remain in
Europe, become partner in the
League and in all European matters.
In fact, at that time it seemed that
the consequence of the war had been
to add one new great power to the
European constellation. That we
should both be a great power and
stay out of Europe was not dreamed.
Again, in the immediate postwar
years, Europe was not yet conscious
that the shift against it was more
than transitory. 1t did not perceive
how vastly our wealth and power
would continue to expand and how
slow would be it's own recovery. Nor
could it even dream of that revolt in
Asia and Africa which was to slow
down European recovery at home and
curtail European influence abroad.
While the rise of America has been
measurably at the expense Of all
countries on this side of the Atlantic,
yet, as all Europeans see, the chief
loser mas Uccu bTltdLl. Dy OuE ucUt
policy we have forced Britain to pay
what the continent regards as annual
tribute. Now by our naval policy we
give the British the choice between
equality on our terms and a compe-
tition in naval armaments which the
British treasury cannot, sustain.
Since the United States retired from
Europe eight years ago. only two
Evening star., 1927-10-09
What Does Europe Think of Us?

clear messages have come from Wash
ington, the first the demand for debt
payment; the second insistence upor
naval equality on terms which the
British insist would mean American
superiority.
Meantime in all this period Europe
has been gaining a conception, and
perhaps an exaggerated conception
of American wealth, prosperity
power. 1t has been learning that the
bases of this power are permanent
and that European recovery itself is
hardly attainable save as American
methods are initiated and as Europe
through economic union escapes from
the devastating consequences of tariff
frontiers and the exhausting effects
of competition within narrow national
limits.
X X X X
To unite economically against the
American economic peril has been the
burden of many European sermons in
past years. But all union has been
impossible because Great Britain has
stood outside the circle. All British
Ildo OGCl CONSCIOUSLY uAl CClCu
at arriving at some sort of agreement
with America. From the contiAental
point of view, all the advances have
been British, all the rebuffs American.
And the final disclosure of tb~ Ameri-
can spirit has come in tho challenge
of sea power.
We have financial supremacy,
economic superiority. Do we mean
to add to it political supremacy based
upon naval and perhaps later military
strength? Solemnly Europe asks this
question and over the answer gravely
shakes it's head. In this situation
nothing is more natural than that in
the circles of the League American
policy should receive rather sinister
Interpretation. Nowhere in Europe is
