Ford Rolls Royce engines deal halted amid Ford veto
Washington reports the advisory defense commission canceled Ford produced 3000 engines for the United States and 6000 for Great Britain citing Ford’s refusal to supply Britain. Knudsen says production will be sought elsewhere as engine bottlenecks loom. Ford says he believed talks were with the U.S. government only and remains firm against building war motors for other nations. Edsel Ford had called the U. S. contract satisfactory. Ottawa adds Ottawa calls for government custody of Ford interests in Canada.
