White House Cool

White House feeling toward
Ford is not particularly friendly.
You get 1t in what is not said
quite as much as in any
statements made with respect to
the Ford Motor Company.
The critical attitude of the
President and those who surround
him is born of differences which
go back long way. Its bases are
partisan, economic and social
Fundamentally. Wa IN n gton
knows Henry Ford is a die hard
iHdipidualist. And indipidualism
at the moment is unpopular in
Washington in the degree in which
1t clashes with collectivist policies
and purposes of the incumbent ad-
ministration.
Simple facts are that the gov
eminent needs Ford and would
like to persuade him really to cut
loose on defense production but is
lirritated constantly TO find he in
sists in aiding in his own way on
his own terms. And when those
terms include refusal to consent
voluntarily TO organization of Ford
plants by union labor, Washing
tons labor government (for that's
what the New Deal is. in its pres.
ent evolution) squirms and sweats
