Big Ford Plants Will Be Devoted to Needs of War Washington, Nov. 9.—Henry Ford will build no more pleasure automo biles until the war Is oveer. He will devote his entire plant to the pro duction of war necessities, such as tractors, ambulances, aircraft engines and shells. Through his personal representative, C. H. Wills, ho re cently offered to discontinue abso lutely tfie production of pleasure cars, and under the head of "pleasure cars" fall all the 'ordinary runabouts, tour ing cars and small commercial trucks which his plant has turned out by the thousands. Mr. Ford's patriotic offer was ac cepted by the Government with the greatest gratitude. The shortage ot chrome vanadium steel, which is needed vitally for shells afid airplane engines, has caused'the greatest un easiness among the men responsible for putting through on time our pro gram of industrial war preparations. Mr. Ford's plant uses in peace time approximately 200,000 tons of chrome vanadium st'eel a year, All this steel will now go into war, work. The chrome shortage which men aces our war program is due in part to the increased demand of chrome for war work, but more especially to the shipping shortage which makes ll impossible to get enough ships to bring an adequate supply of chrome from Ilhodesia and New Caledonia, where it is produced. Government ofleials declare that it is utterly im possible to allow automobile manu facturers to consume the same amount of chrome as in time of peace and at the same time to have enough left to fill our war demands. To-day the German official figures indicate that more than SO per cent, of the industries of the nation are engaged in war work. If the United States is to carry the industrial bur den of the war successfully, there must be a similar, though less radi cal, turning of in'dustry from nones sential to war work. Henry Ford has shown the way.
