the current issue of Collier’s Weekly,
has assumed a waiting attitude by put
ting it up to the government to make
the Dext mi ve if be is to take any fur
ther action in the matter.
The transaction, characterized by
Mr. Ford as a simple alfair of business

ed. “ That is not a live issue with us'
any h uger. More than two years ago
we made the best bid we knew how to
make- No definite actieo has been
taken on it. A simple affair of busi
ness which should have been decided
by anvone within a week has become a
complicated political affair We are
j 'Dot it) politics, and weaie in business.
V\ e do not intend to be drawn iDto
politics.
“We have been and still are deeply
interested in '.Muscle Shoals as a na
tional asset. There is small promise
now that it ever will be a national
asset—more than likely it will be only
an expense. Thai concerns every one
i of us as citizens. In the Ford business,
once we make up our minds to do any
thing. we go right ahead and do it with
the least possible waste of time, energy
or money. If we cannot do what we
want in one way, then we find another.
"We are moving so fast the settle
ment of Muscle Shoals futuie seemed
so far away that we had to find other
means to do the things we could have
accomplished at Muscle Shoals. In
fact, we have passed Muscle Shoals.
Productive business cannot wait on
politics. Therefore we are withdraw
ing our bid.”
Asked if Lb at meant withdrawing ab
solutely from Muscle Shoals and everv
J thing that pertains to it, Mr. Ford re
plied:
“Yes. We have made our bid; new
let them make us a bid. And they will
not have to wait three years for their
answer. We can tell them in five min
utes.
