Ford Muscle Shoals plan faces fertilizer and power interests
A dramatic defense of Henry Ford's Muscle Shoals proposal argues the plan would benefit the nation by developing the power and nitrate plants. It cites backing from Secretary Wallace and a seven member board to regulate costs and profits while Ford promises to keep the project in public service. The piece notes opposition from the Fertilizer Trust, Power Trust, and Merchants' Association calling the plan socialist.
