Henry Ford is one of the very interesting anti-semitic characters (along
with Father Coughlin and Charles Lindberg) that Poundians would do well
to investigate.
 
Thos anti-semitic essays were published in his newspaper, the Dearborn
Independent, one at a time.  They were also collected, if I recollect
correctly, in four volumes around 1922 (and available from Interlibrary
Loan under the title "The International Jew").  A few years ago a friend
of mine who deals in Judaica picked up a much more recent reprint.
 
Ford also made a very public, very unconvincing apology around 1927.
 
I've occasionally run across Pound's references to a "Ford" who seems not
to be Ford Madox Ford, who is usually referred to as "Fordie."
 
Machine Art may be another useful Henry Ford connection.  And EP never
drove a car, right?
