What Others Think
Mr.. Ford Optimistic

Henry Ford in an interview predicted the return
of prosperity, declaring it would be different kind Of
prosperity than the country had seer. that
the people "coud keep" That sounds good Every
ody will hope Mr. Fore properly has analysed condi
TINS.
AS to prosperity that can be kept there is much
to be said. That kind of prosperity cannot and will
not at any time unless plan is worked out that
will make it possible. There impossibilities in
economics well as in other things. Mr. Ford him
SELF would be bound to recognize the impossblity of
establishing permanent prosperity without first pro-
vidng plan of employment that would give every
body continuous work at good wages.
Prosperity depends upon capacity production
Capacity production in turn depends upon heavy sales
And heavy sales must depend upon strong buying
power. There cannot be heavy buying power unless
there is steady employment at good wages Buying
power is weakened when millions idle. It is loss
to capital when unemployment cuts down the purchas
ing power of the people.
Permanent prosperity would be possible in Amer
lea if the proper arrangements for it made But
the secret of it lies in two things reduction of
ployment close to the vanishing point and of
wages that will maintain comfortable standard of
living.-Sioux City Journal.
