(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Anti-Semitism is incompatible with business was the opinion expressed by Henry Ford on board the steamer Majestic to an Hungarian newspaperman, press despatches from the steamer received here state.
He had given up anti-Semitism because it was harmful to business, Mr. Ford is quoted as having said. Replying to the question of the Hungarian interviewer as to why he had changed his attitude toward the Jews, Mr. Ford is quoted as having said he was primarily a business man and that he found it was impossible to serve two masters. His publishing activities harmed his enterprise.
