By Edsel Ford
(President the Ford Motor
Company)
Here in the Rouge plant In
Dearborn we are in constant
touch with the pulse beat of
business through our branches
and dealers in all sections of
the United States.
In looking ahead we always
consider both the Immediate
future, and what is even more
important, the long run future.
For 1940 the outlook is def
initely favorable. From the
branches and dealers we con
tinue to receive evidence thnt
business in general will be good
throughout the country. Our re
tail sales of cars and trucks
during 1939 were approximate
ly 43 percent greater than the
preceding year and indications
point to a continuance of this
Increased pace as 1939 makes
way for 1940.
Fewer Used Cars
Another encouraging indlca
tor is that the number of used
cars in the hands of our dealers
is unusually low for this season
or the year, bo there is no
used-car clog In the stream of
new business. To meet current
demands we are now producing
about 8,000 cars and trucks a
day. In addition we are begin
ning volume production of the
new Ford tractor which is
already coming off the line at
the rate of 179 a day. We ex
pect to double that figure dur
ing 1940.
So much for the immediate
future.
We have been looking far be
yond 1940, however, in what
we have planned and done m
the Rouge plant in the past
year. Ever since the Ford Motor
company was organized in 1903
it has enthusiastically and un
failingly believed in America
and its future. As evidence of
our faith may I point out that
we have spent literally millions
of dollars during 1938-1939 In
substantially increasing the pro
ductive capacity of the Ford
Rouge plant. -
Makt Own Steel
Bom 0, these mlllloni have gone
Into our Open Hearth building. You
M, we make right here at the
Rougue much of the steel that goes
Into our care. In order to aaaura
an erer greater output of thli pro
duct w are rebuilding our furnacea
on by on and when In the near
future all will be completed each
will hold 190 tone ot molten stocl
Instead of 110 tons.
Although we have dona all this
with the unahakeabla conviction
that future bualneea proapecta war
rant such added heavy Investment,
wa also derive aatlafactlon In the
knowledge that the apendlng of mil
lions In a period that did not war
rant it has provided woik for an
Increaaed number of people, not only
the numbers nf engineers, brick
layers and other workers we employ
ed her directly, but also the spread
of employment necessary to manu
facture the great quantities of ma
terials. New Press Shop
Z might also mention aa further
evidence of our faith In the future,
that we have built and equipped
a new prcae shop, where we shape
steel Into body parte.
The beet obtainable tools and dies
ars a prime requisite to car manu
facture. I am happy to aay that
our new tool and die building was
completed In 1939. It Is a quarter of
a mile long, and at present approxi
mate a.600 toolmakers are employ,
ed In It.
We have also added during the
past yesr the half-mllllon dollar
drive-away garage, which will en
able us to put BOO cars under cover
during the brief period required for
headlight testing, water testing,
radio testing and shipping.
To our power station, which sup
plies electricity to the entire Rouge
plant, we added a new turbo-generator.
We have always n-alltrd here that
steady employment, rather than
peaks and valleya, takee a vast
amount of worry off onea mind.
It la also better for the national
economy. 8o In Dearborn we shall
continue to spare no effort to hold
fluctuations of employment down to
the lowest possible point.

The Geological Survey, an- fi

day, -said great copper-silver
mines which, in the previous
year produced nearly $3,000,000
worth of copper, were not in
operation in 1039 but "results
as a whole were good, and en
courage the belief in the con
tinuing high rate of output of
minerals from the territory."
Production In 1938, it point
ed out, was fourth highest in
the history of the territory. The
total worth of minerals pro
duced since 1880 the survey set
at $800,000,000.
Gold production was second
highest in value in history with
only 1938 topping, by $270,000,
the $22,900,000 worth produced
In 1939. Before 1934, gold
brought $20.67 an ounce com
pared to $35 an ounce after
that date. The survey said on
a quantity basis this year's pro
duction had been exceeded not
only In 1938 but In each year
from 1903 to 1937 inclusive.
Gold produced In the territory
since 1880 was said to be worth
$538,537,000.

White Pine blister rust Is dam-1

extent greater than any other
forest disease, fire, or, In some
districts, commercial logging,
Secretary Wallace said yester-;
day. . I
The disease has been checked
in northeastern states but Is still ;
out of hand In 'the west. A total j
of 2,288,251 acres of federal
lands in national forests is be-.
ing treated but more than 1-1
800,000 additional acres are in 1

as was burned from 19,31 in
1035 In Oregon and Washington,
Wallace said. ,
