ilenry Ford emphasized today the
events of the last 2.i yeara have
not changed bis "unaltei able op
position" to war in any form or
place nor his determination to dit
nis utmost to prevent the coming
of another world conflict.
A quarter-century ago Ford
sent a "peace ship" to Km ope In
the hope bo might "get the boys
out of the trendies before Christ
mas." He has no plans for an
other such expedition, he said, but
lie made it clear tie iuh-nded to
makM hiHtuelf hs'il m; ttiwt ny
movement which he believes might
threaten a spread of the present
.ar in Kurope. ,
tjpecilically, Ford expressed his
opposition to any amendment oi
the present neutiality law,
"That law," he said, "was writ
ten to keep us out of war. Any
tampering with it, any change in
it whatever, will be a step toward
getting us Into a war that will
bring untold misery to millions oi
persons and set us back thousands
of years."
Koid said he wasn t so sure
there was "much of a war under
w ay at present." "1 am inclined
to agree with Senator Borah's
view," he added. ( Horah K.,
