Ford Worries johnson.
Has Perfect Set-Up
for New Coup.
BY PAUL MALLON.

YVENRY FORD has General Johnson
worried. Some of Ford's adver-
tiSirg men from Detroit have been
noted gumshoeing around town lately
The noting was done by Johnson's pub
licity agents who formerly were con-
nected with Ford and know Ford
advertising man when they see one.
They ran to tell the general. He has
been scratching his head and wonder
ing.
The agents neuer came to see
him. They lriH not disclose their
mission
But the geenral has suspicious.
1t looks very much as though Ford
is getting ready for one OF his master
ful publicity strokes. He likes to hit
the front pages. The existing situation
Is a perfect setting for him.
Not Held Up by Labor.
johnson knows the labor conditions
of the code are not holding Ford up
Ford already has better labor arrange
mentS in his plants than the code re-
qlires. Minimum wage and hour
agreements could be Strengthened OUT
easily without an argument.
There might be some difficulty about
Ford'S many other businesses. but the
N. A. r. crowd does not think so. He
controls mines, railroads. glassworks
and what nots. but the labor situation
In them Is fairly good, too.
Evening star., 1933-08-30

Therefore, the Johnson outfit figures
Ford's interest lies in the control board
over the automobile industry which Is
set up in the code.
The logical thing to charge would
be that it is controlled by New York
bankers.
The facts about Johnson's Detroit
visit never have been published because
johnson has kept mum. He has been
hoping against hope that Ford would
join up.
However, it may be said without fear
of denial. that Johnson tried to see
Ford in Detroit. He got only as far as
Edsel, who explained his father was III
and could not be disturbed.
johnson tried to get commitment
out of Edsel but could not. The SON
explained he had no authority to make
commitments.
Runs Business Himself.
That fits in with the known inner
facts. The elder Ford runs the busi-
ness.
johnson returned to Washington.
Ever since he has been waiting to hear
from the elder Ford. All he has heard
Is silence. which gets more ominouS
every minute.

DAVIS ARMS PARLEY
ROLE is LIGHTENED:
HOPES HERE FADING

Continued From First Page)
endeavoring to bring the principal
antagonistic nations. France, Italy and
Germany. together, but the harder she
tries the less she accomplishes.
Old Conflicts Revived.
The somewhat insignificant conflict
which has broken out on account Of
the Nazi attempt to Nazify Austria has
brought out again the old conflicts and
constroversies between the Continental
powers.
italy is apparently supporting Austria
against the policy of the Hitler govern
ment, but she is suspected by the
French group Of endeavoring to turn a
difficult diplomatic situation to her own
advantage and gain dominant position
in Central and Southeastern Europe.
The reported permission granted Aus
tria to increase her national army is
not likely to materialize because the
French have realized at the eleventh
hour that this would constitute seri-
GUS breach Of the peace treaties and add
visionist nations to scrap the Versall-
les and the other treaties.
1t is argued that If the powers per
NIT Austria to increase her forces Tor
police purposes there is nothing that can
prevent Germany from asking for q
similar proportional increase on the
same grounds. Once the precedent Is
established there will be no reason why
the other defeated nations should not
arm as much as they like under the
pretext that they need more police.
France Looks to Future.
Furthermore the French have begun
to realize the increased Austrian army
might become an important asset
against France should the present Dol
fuss administration be thrown out OF
Office and another government, more
sympathetic to Germany, be installed.
It is under these most inauspicious
circumstances that the Disarmament
Conference will resume its sessions and
there is a distinct feeling in response
BILE quarters here that the reopening OF
that conference will be the sign Of a
renewed armament race Of all the pow
erS concerned.
Because the President and the State
Department realize how delicate the sit
uation in Europe is, the American Gov
ernment desires to remain on the edge
during the coming discussions at Ge-
neva Any really active participation
by the United States in the Disarma-
ment Conference at the present mo-
ment might implicate this country In
entanglements nobody here desires.
The same genuine feeling for dis
armament continues in administration
circles. but 1t is felt that it is up to
the otheS nations to present something
really constructive before the American
Government takes more definite part
in the conference.
