A—Iy = FORD WL PGHT TAX ON PROFT Declares “Ramshackle Leg- islation” Is Enacted for In- ternatienal Financiers. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, May 7.—Henry Ford, who steadfastly opposed the N. R. A. to the day it was declared unconstitu- tional, said today he also would oppose the Federal tax on undis- tributed profits. He described it, in an interview, as “ramshackle legislation,” enacted by “politicians who are parrots for the international financiers.” The Ford Motor Co., he declared, is the “target.” “The real purpose is to tax the independents, large and small, out of existence,” he said. “The financiers want to drive every independent busi- ness man to borrow money, to make American business pay continual tribute to the money lenders. They want to send the companies they can't control to Wall Street. And it is only the companies they don't control who are objecting. The others are all in one pocket.” Sees Changed Attitude. He spoke approvingly of a “changed attitude” he noted in Congress toward that and similar matters. “Congress did not concoct this ramshackle legislation, although it passed the bill,” he said. “Now it is trying to see how it can do better. For that reason, you hear more good things said about Congress today than for six years past. Of course, the members have heard from home, but that only means that Congress and the people are coming to the same conclusions. “No one with the interests of the eountry at heart would plan such a taxing program. It must have had @ target. Naturally, we are the target. “If we knew where the money is going, if we knew it was doing any- thing to lift the national level, that would be different. But the spots where things are not getting any | better are the spots where they say the money is going. It has kept the people at the same low level where | the depression found them. The only | lifting done in this country is done by industry. Sees Failure in Attempt. | “If the Government took every cent | of Ford profits and used the money | to raise the standards of the people, | I'd take my hat off to them. That | is what we have been trying to do Cor 30 years. They are not doing it.” “Do you believe the various Gov- ernment agencies succeeded in ‘prim- ing the pump’ for industry?” he was | “Government money provides no | purchasing power and no market for | industry,” Ford replied. “And it | basn't provided employment, either, | else why do we hear of millions of | men still unemployed? | “Our Government does not under stand the primary necessity, which is | production. We have not enough of | anything, and all the politiclans can | think of is to make it harder for pro- | ducers to produce. “The answer to the unemployment problem is to produce more goods and that is what we are trying to do.” A question about wage increases brought a reiteration of his recent statement that “there will be higher wages when this strike mess is over.” He said there was nothing to add to that. number of union members among your employes?” he was asked. Hits Coercion. “I have no idea how many there are,” he replied. “I do know, though, that they are attempting to get mem- bers by coercing the families of our workers. They don't just invite a workman to join, they go to his home and frighten his family. “I have nothing to say about what organizations our men join. I believe that if they join the union they are being ‘hooked,’ but that is their busie ness. However, if it comes to coercion, our men can depend on us to stand by them.” He said the Ford Co's recently- announced plan to produce tires was necessitated by uncertainty caused by strikes in the rubber industry, “We do not intend to produce all of our tires,” he said, “but we shall’ be prepared to produce them if it be- e’ STEAKS » 29¢ Lean Smoked Shoulder ~ 18 Chuck Roast BEEF Ib. 1 8¢ Pork Loin ROAST ~ 23¢ PLATE BEEF » 14 Fancy Sugar-Cured Smoked Hams Extra Fine Ib. 23¢ FRESH FRESH SLICED 1bs.
