FORDK MORE CARS, IR0FIT Auto Maker Tells How He Turned Big Profit Into Deficit BY ALLAN L. BENSON. (I.

N. 8. Staff Correspondent.) (Copyright, 1922, by the International Newe 6ervlce.) Detroit, Sept. 26. -r-Henry Ford Is making more cars and more profits this year than ever before.

Back of these facts is perhaps the most amas- Ing money story that ever was told, which is set 'down here as Ford told It to me. Ford'e profits for the calendar year 1921 were $76,000,000. This was the high mark of his career up to that time. It was particularly notable because, at the beginning ot the year, Wall street, believing him to be la financial difficulties, had sent a banker to Ford to offer him a big loan and to designate the next secretary of the Ford Motor Company. Turns Profit Into Deficit JDurlng the latter part of 1921 and the early part of 1922 Ford reduced the prices ot his cars and tractors snfficlwrtly to Irrpe out profits of 1921 and leave a deficit of 10,000,000., That is to say.

If the same number of cars and tractors ere to be made in 1922 that were made in 1921 and wages and the prices of raw materials' were to remain -the same," there would be a deficit ot ten millions on the busi ness ot 1922. Having known all ot these facts since the first of the year, I asked Ford today how be was making out "We are making more cars, more tractors and more profits," he replied, "than, ever before. Our average prot- lta last year were a Hula more than month- Our -average monthly profits' so tar this year have been considerably more than tfiat We are making 5100 cars a day. This is every car we can possibly turn out with our present facilities. It Is more than ever made before, yet It is about 200 cars less than our orders." During the year I had told-tnany business men throughout the country how Ford had apparently turned last year's $76,000,000 profits Into a uuu.uuu aencu ny reducing tne prices ot his products, and as ona man they had declared that in another manu facturer It would seem an act ot in sanity.

This is how Ford explained it to me: First Price Below Cost. "In fixing the price ot anything we manufacture," he- said, "we alwayg fix a price that Is below cost at the time It Is made. The first thing that happens is that everybody is thereby put on his tiptoes. The most important effect, however, is the enormous broadening of the market that fol lows. We are driven to capacity and more today because few cut prices to less than what waa cost a year ago." RENEW GHTON PRINCESS HASSAN By Ths International News Service Los Aneeles.
