American Excitement.

It was Henry Ford who wrote, a few years ago, “there is something sacred in wages.” It was Henry Ford who composed chapters on the need of maintaining the worker's home standards and his purchasing power. And no evidence is discoverable that Ford is anything else than a good employer. Yet somehow a deputation fell foul of the Jaw outside the Ford works near Detroit, and became involved in a sanguinary encounter that has caused universal regret. This incident, and the crime of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby, are American sensations of the month. For parents and baby, “the child of America,” every true man and woman must feel the deepest sympathy. But meanwhile Phar Lap has displaced it as front page news.
