In a shocking turn of events, Henry Ford, the automotive magnate, has abandoned his peace mission to Sweden, leaving his delegation in the lurch. The Special Train bearing members of the Ford Peace Party arrived in Stockholm on December 25, 1915, where they were welcomed by the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Association. But the festivities were short-lived, as Ford’s secretary announced that the leader would soon rejoin the party, only to have Ford reveal the truth: he was heading back to the United States.
