SOVIET RUSSIA
VISIT FROM AU1
MOSCOW. — GJ>>— Henry Ford
is Soviet Russia’s dearest enemy.
He represents everything which
Soviet Russia Is against, but there
Is nobody whom the Rusaisuss
would welcome more enthusias
tically, if he should decide to
come as a visitor.
He is tjr« most-quoted and most
admired American, as well as
the greatest example of the capi
talism which Soviet' Russia de
tests so whole-heartedly. The at
titude toward Henry Ford Is one
of Russia's moat astounding con
tradictions.
What would happen If Henry
F ord,
master-capitalist,. the
world’s richest man, with tens of
thousands employes and hundreds
of thousands of persons dependent
on him for a living, should visit
Russia this summer, the land
where wealth 1« confiscated, where
employers of labor are hated and
persecuted, where Socialism in all
Its might is flowering?

Would Henry Ford come to

It would ba one of history’s gi

exaggeration to say that a tele

that Henry Ford was coming,
would Jog the Sorlet newspapers
into big headlines and special edi
tions. which anybody who knows
(he Soviet newspapers knows
would be a very remarkable re
sult. There is no doubt that he
would be shown every possible
courtesy. The world’s first Social
ist state would ^urn ten somer
saults to do honor to the world’s
richest man.
Would he be safe in Soviet
Russia? Would some anarchist or
w'ld-eye Socialist throw a bomb at

coat with a bullet?
The Soviet Government would
