We Af Eednnciniff Fnces f AM Fcoirdl Cars ?As Much as $50 Some Models Effective Immediately A Statement by Henry Ford II 99 "Although more than one million of our customers are waiting foe delivery of their cars at present prices, we are immediately reducing the price of every Ford car some models as much as $50. "This is our 'down payment' toward a continued high level of production and employment in the months ahead. We believe that the 'shock treat ment' of prompt action is needed to halt the insane spiral of mounting costs and rising prices and to restore a sound base for the hopeful period of postwar production we are now entering. "Let me review briefly the considerations which have led us to take this important step. "The Ford Motor Company is in the mass pro duction business. Mass production depends upon large markets. It will continue to succeed only if it can produce more and more at lower and lower cost so that more and more people can buy. Large markets begin to disappear when prices rise. "The un-American spiral of mounting costs and rising prices has hurt everybody some groups more than others. Many have not benefited from postwar wage increases, but have had to share the burden of resulting higher prices. Already, millions of American families are unable to buy the things which, in normal times, make up their standard of living. In the short view, we can see inflation. In the long view, there is danger of depression. "The period since V-J Day has been an unhappy and costly period of reconversion to peacetime production. Ford Motor Company has lost mil lions of dollars since V-J Day, even after all tax adjustments. "But the crisis of this wild aftermath of war seems to have been passed. Our own production. though still limited by material shortages, Is now steadier. Productivity of our employes, which hit a new low during the period, seems to have started its return to normal. Ford Motor Company mada a modest profit for the last three months of 1946, and we intend to continue to operate in the black. " "The American economy now stands at a turn ing point. Mounting costs and rising prices have warranted caution and hesitancy. There is even general fear that this dangerous, un-American cycle cannot be corrected without an economic recession. We think this fear can be dispelled by common sense and action. And among free men that becomes an individual responsibility. "The Ford Motor Company therefore proposes to accept its losses since V-J Day as an item of the cost of a great and victorious war. We are closing our books on that phase of our production history. We have decided that now is the time for us to make an investment in the future. 'Because they must build up depleted cash re serves or because they are still losing money, many businesses may not be able to follow suit. But we hope that our suppliers, our employes, and our other economic partners will back, each to his own ability, our attempt to return to the economic pat tern which has helped to make America great the principle that higher wages and a higher standard of living for all depend upon lower costs and lower prices through increasingly efficient large-scale production. "We hope, as we move forward, that we will be able to reduce prices further, andthat we will not be forced to raise them again to compensate for cost increases." PRESIDENT.
