Says His Company Target of "Ram
shackle Legislation" Will
Oppose Tax on Profits.
Detroit. Henry Ford, who stead
fastly opposed the Nil A to the day it
wa3 declared unconstitutional, said
Friday he also would oppose the fed
eral tax on undistributed profits.
He described it, in an interview,
as "ramshackle legislation," enacted
by "politicians who are parrots for
the international financiers."
The Ford Motor company, he de
clared, is the "target."
"The real purpose is to tax the in
dependents, large and small, out of
existence," he said. "The financiers
want to drive every independent busi
ness man to borrow money, to make
American business pay continual
tribute to the money lenders. They
want to send the companies they
can't control to Wall street. And it
is only the companies they don't con
trol who are objecting. The others
are all in one pocket." j
He spoke approvingly of a
"changed attitude" he noted in con
gress toward that and similar mat
ters.
"Congress did not concoct this ram
shackle legislation, altho it passed
the bill," he said. "Now it is trying
to see how it can do better. For that
reason, you hear more good things
said about congress today than for
six years past. Of course, the mem
bers have heard from home, but that
only means that congress and the
people are coming to the same conclusions.
also told of the problems of the girls
of today and presented her picture of
the ideal mother and daughter. The
program closed with the singing of
"God Be With You All."
The following menu was served
by the daughters, fruit cocktail,
chicken salad, potato chips, radishes,
parker house rolls, butter, jelly, gold
top angel food, and coffee.
