women are a diminishing, rather
than an oncoming force, in indus
try. AS precision increases in indus
try, women will tend to decrease
and disappear because they are not
precise and mechanically minded.
They have not the patience to make
or handle machinery and they have
not the interest to develop in me-
chanical work.
Girls are not of an inventive turn
of mind. They are more apt to take
orders than to forge ahead for them
selves. In that they are like the
average working man. You know
some say that working men want
to run their shops. They don't; it is
too much trouble. After a week or
two the men prefer to go back to
the sure and comfortable routine of
letting someone higher up have the
responsibility.
Don't Want to Think
women are the same way. Wo-
men don't want to think on mechan.
ical and industrial matters. They
their home life. except in human
crises, and then they are resource
full and arise nObly to a situation. 1t
shows the good there is in the back
ground. but it is passive. Generally
speaking, even at home they don't
want to make decisions. l suppose it
Is harder for women to make de-
cisions in daily life because it takes
experience to make decisions, and
they haven't the experience.
Ford was asked how women are to
get the experience needed to make
decisions If they are to be shut away
from the world where men acquire
their knowledge and resourCefulness.
"A woman can get all the expert
ence she needs right in her own home
if she is energetic and positive.
That's up to the women and what
they want of life, because they viii!
get what they want if they want it
badly enough. But I don't believe
that their natural and general char
acteristics fit them for successful
penetration of industry. Their in
stincts are better than mems, but
of a different order; as workers,
whether in the home or in industry.
they are dependable but show no in
itiative.
THE mechanical age means the
age. Women will be re-
leased from the drudgery they won't
put up with any longer. There will
be electric power all over the coun-
try-away out in the lonely farm
lands just as much as in the cities.
Indeed, industry won't concentrate
in cities any more. The comfortable
age means that there will be no
lonely farmlands whore women will
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-10-25

be shut up in their kitchens 10 mo-
notonous, unending drudGery.'
Ford was asked what use leisure
will be to women unless they can put
something into it to make it really
creative.
UNUSED POWER VALUELESS
IF release from drudgery means
bridge and gossip and endless sterile
club meetings. if women are released
to pend their time in third-rate emo,
tional day dreams in moving picture
theaters, doesn't that hurt us and
our families emotionally and spirit
ually?"
Unless power is used it has no
value" replied Mr.. Ford, and
leisure is a power which. if mis-
used becomes harmful. 1t may be
that the class Of American women
of whom you speak have it too
easy. 1t may he that they need
to suffer a little. Perhaps they
need less privilege and more cour-
age. American women must pay
for their release from drudgery
and they can pay in only one way
that is to study and work at their
jobs of being better wives and
mothers.
Il think the whole situation lies
about like this: That men and
women must learn to work to-
sether rather than each pull against
the other as they do today. If
men and women work with single
aim, and as partners, something
a great deal better will come out
of it than is the result now, with
each one taking a different course
and insisting IN his or her rights
and individuality and self-expression.
They are not compe titors but com
plements. A new kind of power
is born of complete partnership be-
tween a man and a woman"
