For each eagle the Ford Motor
Company is to receive 120,000 profit
if the cost exceeds *275,000. If the
cost should be less than that sum, it
is to receive one-fourth of the saving.
Mr. Ford said in September, 1918:
“I will not take a cent of war profit
out of the war work 1 am doing," and
Admiral Griffin says he waved all
profit on the eagles and offered to
build them at cost, but the directors
of the Ford Motor Company would
not agree to this. Of course, Mr. Ford
could not hold out against the direc­
tors of the company which he is sup­
posed to control. His minimum profit
is estimated at *1,500,000 and his
son Edsel received a salary of *150,-
000 a year. In addition, his company
is to have the plant, virtually at its
own figures to build steel barges.
The total cost to the government
of this experiment is estimated at
*50,000,000 with nothing of practic­
al use to show for it, for the eagles
are pronounced “next to impossible”
for patrol and gunboat duty by reas­
on of their excessive maintenance
and operating charges. High officials
of the Navy Department say they
will not be needed till the next war.
Thus the eagles go in the same class
