FORD KAYS MLIMINATK IK)LK
DKTROIT, June It, (/P)—In an
Interview, Friday,. Henry Ford said
that the shortest route to the res
toration of an economic balance is
the elimiuataion of the “dole sy
stem. ” One of the quickest ways
to eliminate the dole he added, "is
to get rid of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Recovery
can come only up through the peo
ple, uot down through financial or
political schemes We must put
work everywhere—not the kind of
work that pays a dole, but a wage
with a margin. The Reconstruct
ion Finance Corporation is nothing
more than a systemized dole, it
doesn't, relieve anybody. Ae long
as it continues to function as the
distributor of a dole, we connot
look for lasting improvement in
economic conditions. All I am say
log is that the system of making
money out of money fa the wrong
system, and is in process of dis
appearing right now.”
He referred to the Industrial Re
covery Act as an experiment the
value of which remains to be prov
ed. ,
