Effective Immediately
A Statentnt by Henry Ford II
"Although more than one million of our customers are
waiting for delivery of their cars at present prices, we
are immediately reducing the price of every Ford car –
some models as much as $50.
"This is our `down payment' toward a continued high
level of production and employment in the months
ahead. We believe that the 'shock treatment of prompt
action is needed to halt the insane spiral of mounting
costs and rising prices and to restore a sound base for
the hopeful period of post-war production we are now
entering.
"Let me review briefly the considerations which have
led us to take this important step.
"The Ford Motor Company is in the mass production
business. Mass production depends upon large markets.
It will continue to succeed only if it can produce more
and more at lower and lower cost so that more and more
people can buy. Large markets begin to disappear when
prices rise.
"The un-American spiral of mounting costs and
rising prices has hurt everybody–some groups more
than others. Many have not benefited from post-war
wage increases, but have had to share the burden of
resulting higher prices. Already, millions of American
families are unable to buy the things which, in normal
times, make up their standard of living. In the short
view, we can see inflation. In the long view, there is
danger of depression.
The period since V-J Day has been an unhappy and
costly period of.reconversion to peacetime production.
Ford Motor Company has lost millions of dollars since
v-J Day, even after all tax adjustments.
"But the crisis of this wild aftermath of war seems to
have been passed. Our own production, though still
limited by material shortages, is now steadier. Produc-
o
tivity of our employes, which hit a new low during the
period, seems to have started its return to normal. Ford
Motor Company made a modest profit for the last three
months of 1946, and we intend to continue to operate
M1 the black.
"The American economy now stands at a turning
point. Mounting costs and rising prices have warranted
caution and hesitancy. There Is even general fear that
this dangerous, un-American cycle cannot be corrected
without an economic recession. We think this fear can
be dispelled by common sebse and action. And among
free men that becomes an' individual responsibility.
"The Ford Motor Company therefore proposes to ac-
cept its. losses since V-J Day as an item of the cost of a
great and victorious war. We are closing our books on
that phase of our production history. We have decided
that now is the time for us to make an investment in
the future.
"Because they must build up depleted cash reserves
or because they are still losing money, many businesses
may not be able to follow suit. But we hope that our
suppliers, our employes, and our other economic part-
ners will back, each to his own ability, our attempt to
return to the economic pattern which has helped to
make America great –the principle that higher wages
and a higher standard of living for all depend upon
lower costs and lower prices through increasingly effi-
cient large-scale production.
"We hope, as we move forward, that we will be able
to reduce prices further, and that we will not be forced
to raise them again to compensate for cost increases."
PRESIDENT, FORD MOTOR COMPANY
