The well-known Hungarian politician, ex-Prime Minister Friedrich, according to information received by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, negotiated some time ago with Henry Ford, regarding the latter’s financial support for the monarchistic propaganda in Hungary, Austria and Bavaria. The negotiations were conducted through the Turkish Minister Ismet Pasha and the American Admiral Chester. In return Ford is said to have been promised important railway and industrial concessions upon the realization of Friedrich’s plans.
