WHAT FORD SAYS ABOUT PRESENT !
 WORLD CRISIS
False Prosperity Nor e Harmful to the Country Than Our Present De- pressiOrl

New York, Oct 21.--(UP)-The business depression is "a whole some thing, in general" Henry Ford says in an interview in the October issue of the American Automobile, published to-day.

 The depression ''has done less harm to the people and the coun- try than a continuance of our previous false prosperity would have done" he is quoted as saying. More people will survive this period than would have survived a continuance of the former period.
 "Our so-called prosperity was not prosperous in any sense. It

did great harm to the business an to the morale of the people.
 "The depression will be broken CD when people cease to believe that something can be obtained for nothing; CD when the people get back their self-dependence: that is, when they cease to lean on the initiative of few either to provide work or charity, and (3) when the public understanding is capable of seeing that the profit Of life is life and not money"
