Henry Ford today announced a

Motor company products to a pre
war level as a step towards "res
toration of business to normal
conditions." In a statement, .Mr,

contentment of our people may be
restored.'

war has ended "war prices also
should be reduced." ,

employment, but notwithstanding
this there has been little change
in the cost of living.

tources, the "country's progress is
being held practically at a stand
still through the greed of , profi
teers. Now is the time to : call
a halt to war methods, war; price
and war greed. It may be 'neces
sary for everybody to sacrifice
a little, but in the end it will be
most profitable,' for the sooner we
get business of the country back
to pre-war conditions the sooner
will the lives of our ;people be
come natural and progress, pros
perity and contentment be re
stored'
