SCRAPPED BATTLESHIPS
NEW YORK, 16th February. A copyright United Press dispatch from Fort Myers, Florida, states that Mr. Henry Ford would buy up all the navies of the world if he thought it would end war, but he did uot believe that it would.
"You cannot stop war just by taking away a weapon that is at hand," said Mr. Ford. "Men fought before there were ■ battleships or before there were guns, The only way to end war is to teach .the follows who profit by it that they can profit more some other way." Mr. Ford intimated that he might consider buying the warships ordered to be scrapped by the treaties. He -would cut them up and turn their steel into automobiles and tractors.
