port, Mr. J. W. Elden, foreman,

Senator Norris in Official Re
port Declares Ford's Profit
Would Be Over 14 Billions
Over Half of U. S. Cost of
the Worid War.
WASHINGTON, July 20. In a com
prehensive report submitted to the
senate' today by Chairman Norris of
tho sennte agricultural committee
Henry Ford's officer for the purchase
and lease of the government's war
Initiated projects of Muscle Shoals,
Alabama, Is condemned In ) unusually
strong language, while the Nobraska
senator's bill, proposing development
of the properties under a government-
owned and controlled coriirntion, Is
descrlbod as the most wonderful plan
that has ever been proposed in the his
tory of the country.
' On the question of the Ford bid the
report says eight Bonntors concur with
the chairman. With reference to the
government ownership proposal, the
report gives the name of five senators
who favor its passage by the senate
for the solution of the Muscle Shoals
problem. The Ford offer Is dealt with
In no uncortaln terms.
"The country has been given to
understand that Mr. Ford pays the
government four per cent Interest on
its investment in the two dams," says
the report. "Giving hiB corporation
credit for its investment he will be
paying tho government less thnn three
per cent.
"Assuming that n fair Interest rate
In the commercial world is six per cent
Interest, this would give his corpora
tion during a hundred year period a
total gift of cold cash of $236,250,000
and If this money were compounded,
Mr. Ford asks the government to com
pound what he pays, the profit would
be $14,500,000,000, more than half of
our total cost of the world war." ; '
The Norris plan Is described In part
by the following excerpt by the conv
mittee's report:
"We believe the government is Justi
fied not only as a war measure but as
a peace proposition, to expend all of
the money that may be necessnry for
economical experiments with a vlew to
ciieupcnlng fertilizer. Instead of turn
ing over all tho surplus power to any
one Individual or to one corporation to
be used for his financial benefit, It
would be supplied ns electrical power
to cities hundreds of miles distant
from Muscle Shoals."
