The oppressive forces of capitalism have won another victory over the defenders of man's independence, and that in the enemy's own country. For the government of Soviet Russia has begun negotiations with Henry Ford looking towards the establishment of a Ford factory in the land of the Bolsheviks. To be sure, it is only after the Soviets had tried to produce tractors on their own account from-pirated plans, but when these were discovered to cost six times as much as American product and in addition failed to run, they capitulated to the rival system.
