Ford Deems Roosevelt Doing Best He Can, Sees Change Ahead
Henry Ford after a White House conference with President Roosevelt said the President is trying to do the best he can like everybody else. Ford predicted conditions will improve, and doubts there will be war in Europe despite grim dispatches. Edsel Ford and W J Cameron joined him. Edsel located their Essex county farm, and Henry teased for a farm size estimate. Ford urged laborers to wake up and work, saying wealth is created by action and people should be their own leaders. He dodged questions on Garner, and stressed overhauling industries and employment hardships strengthen character.
