THE ATTACK ON HENRY FORD
(Continued. from Pago 2.)
not liis worst crime in the eyes of the professional “ pat
riots,” who, as Johnson well said in his dictionary, choose
“ patriotism as the last resort of scoundrels.”
Henry Ford’s unforgiv able crimlTis the tact that he ad
vocates Government ownership of railroads and other
natural monopolies.
Their tight, however, will be in vain.
Patriotism is not the monopoly of gentlemen who are
serving their Government on a basis of 500 per cent or
1000 per cent profit.
Wall ¡Street gamblers and profiteers will not blacken the
character of Henry Ford, who worked for peace while
there was hope of peace and who works only for his Na
tion’s victory now.
You need no explanation of these attacks on Ford by
men who call themselves patriots.
You know the brand of patriotism that steals fifty mill
ions from the Government and gives fifty thousand to the
Ked Cross.
You know the brand of j^itriotism that buys the work
men’s labor and sells the workman liis food and always
arranges it so that the amount he gets paid for his work is
barely enough to pay for what he must eat in order to
work again the next day.
1 Today think over the case of Henry Ford. Don’t forget
that what applies to Henry Ford applies equally to every
other man who has ever said a good word for the work
man, jvho ever opposed the theory that a few private in
dividuals should exploit the people of this country and
own the public properties of the country.
The profiteering monopolists’ day is soon to end; lucky
if they escape in possession of what they have already
stolen. And they know it—much to their bitterness.
