Henry Ford has leased a summer villa at a fashionable resort near Berne, according to reports appearing in the Swiss papers. These reports declare that Ford plans to occupy his Swiss residence in the near future.

Some of the papers are indulging in much speculation as to results that may be expected if the story of Mr. Ford’s coming to Switzerland is true. Liberal papers declare that his arrival would have the effect of making Switzerland the world center of anti-Semitic agitation.

Credence is lent this rumor, according to some of the papers, by the fact that numerous translations of anti-Jewish articles published some time ago in the Dearborn Independent, have lately been translated and circulated in pamphlet form in Switzerland.
