FORD MOTOR COMPANY
PROHIBITION WITHDRAWN. CANADIAN EXAMPLE FOLLOWED. Senator G. F. Pearce, Acting Prime Minister for the Commonwealth of Australia, recently announced that, as the result of further information from Canada, it had been decided to cancel the direction given to the departments last November not to purchase from the Ford Motor Company, of Canada, Limited, Ontario. The Minister added that SiV R. L. Borden, Prime Minister of Canada, liad advised that the Ford Company of Canada was distinct from Mr Henry Ford’s Detroit Company. Air Ford owned a quarter of the stock, but the manager and the majority of the directors were Canadians. Sir R. L. Borden added that he believed that Mr Ford’s views about the war were not shared by the Canadian Company, which loyally supported the Empire. Consequently the Canadian departmental instruction not to purchase from the Ontario Company was no longer in force.
