FORD SCORES FINANCE RING Says War Is Kept Up to Make Money WASHINGTON, July 25.—Ttenry Ford is solidly behind President Harding's disarmament program, ‘The tomobile — manufacturer plans to assist the president in re moving the causes of war with every | resource at his command, This developed ax a result of a frank informal talk between the two during the weeleend camping expe. dition Into the Maryland hills. Ford outlined his disarmament views {in an exclusive interview giv en to the United Press during a@ quiet hour at the camp, Munition makers and international bankers, Ford believes, are trying to keep the war gume alive. His plan is to turn the spotlight of publicity upon them and bring the force of public opinion to bear down on any: one who attempts to obstruct the disarmament program, “The munition makers are respon- sible for Germany's arming to the teeth,” Ford said. ‘Now they are trying to do the mame thing with Japan, With Germany gone, they are trying to find another reason for keeping up the war business and at Present they are trying to use Japan as an excuse.” Ford was sitting on\ the edge of an old broken-down bed tn a deserted Jog cabin on the camping enclosure. He bad thrown off his coat, revea) ing @ stout pair of old-fashioned sus His lean figure became tense as he talked. “It we get anywhere with this dimrmament business every man has fot to put his soul inte it,” Ford mad. “I think the president ts taking exactly the right coursa I'm for bim pov in this” discusred the alleged “bank. ing ring,” but declined to mention names for publication. “Rut there ts a ring of bankers— & world ring—that ts causing all the trouble,” he said. “They work in Washington, tn London and all around the world. It was that kind of a ring around the Kaiser that got Germany into trouble, They put up the money, munition makers make the guns and powder and the people get killed and maimed.” CONCRETE. — Charies Ingang, Austrian bolt cutter, accidentally shoots self to death at Burns Log- ging company camp, ! | Ba THE BON RGAIN BASEME BRITAIN WILL HAVE ONE VOTE Plans for Disarmament Con- ference Outlined BY A. 1.
