HENRY FORD’S BUSINESS.
EXTENSION TO AUSTRALIA. SCHEME NOT ABANDONED. By Telegraph—Press Asan.—Copyright. Received June 13, 9.15 p.m. Ottawa, June 12. A telegram from Windsor says that the Australian Press Association has been informed on excellent authority that the Ford interests have not abandoned the original plana to establish the plant in Australia, and while the manufacture of cars will probably not be undertaken in Australia for aome time to come, attention will be concentrated upon the assemblage of Fori parts and the possible facilitation of bodies in order to avoid the high Australian duties thereon, and give the Ford interests desirable concentration at a point from which to ship cars to India and the Far East most economically. It is understood that Mr. H. C. French, travelling representative of the Camdin n Ford Company, following a tour of Australia to determine economic conditions, reported to his principals that he believed the Australian labour conditions were not favourable at the present tjime to engage in an extensive manufacturing undertaking, which, however, may be launched in the future.
