FORD DISAVOWS
PARTY INTEREST
Says He Must Support Hoover
Because of His Record
Last Four Years

Detroit, Oct. Notwithstanding
any interest in party politics, Henry
Ford Thursday was enlisted as a
campaigner on behalf of President
Hoover.
In an address Wednesday night,
the automobile manufacturer said, Il
support the best man for the job. If
Herbert Hoover were a Democrat,
with his record during the last four
years, I should have to support him"
Much of his address was devoted
to the need of "a money system man.
aged as our weather bureau Is, for
the protection of the peoples busi-
ness" and he said he would "like to
see it done by man of practical ex-
perience like Mr.. Hoover"
Congress, he said, "farmed out the
national money system to private
hands" and should take back full
control OF money and give the United
States public service money system
as opposed to private profit money
system"
He said President Hoover lis car
rying a greater burden than Abra-
ham Lincoln carried-and he is car
rying it in a way that places him be-
side Lincoln in sacrificial service"
The president, he said, kept his
head when others lost theirs. No act
Of his has been dictated by panic or
politics, and the result is that we are
now beginning to feel the lifting
power of his well-thought-out pro-
gram"

debt. Regarding the latter. whatever
the result of the (American) preSiden-
ial election, we will negotiate. trying,
as far as we are able, to obtain more
favorable treatment.
IF we could secure cancellation, 1t
would be most desirable, but don't ask
me to give any promise, for it's not
dependent on me-"
Deputy Haye was said to have ask
ed the premier whether, since Ger
many was paying France nothing,
France shouldn't cease payments to
her creditors. NJ. Herriot was quoted
as answering emphatically:
mot being swindlers, we will pay
scrupulously our commercial debts"
