the earnest attention or Congress. The produc-
ton in the United States of armor and gun
steel is question which it seems necessary TO

home manufacture. This has been the
subject OF investigation by two boards

and the gun steel for the authorized ships. 1t
would seem desirable that the wants of the ar

ably met, and that by uniting their contracts
