In conversation with the aut thorities of the

reason is not only because the plant would be

would find itself ten or twenty years from
now making steel according to that process,
while in the meantime the active competition
among steel manufacturers outside would
have carried them beyond such methods, and
perhaps into the making of steel by entirely
new and much cheaper processes. There
fore, as the result of long deliberation,
it has been thought best for the govern
mcnt not 10 attempt the manufacture
of steel, but rather to buy it of the
manufacturers, trusting to competition to
have it delivered much cheaper than it could
be made. Then the question of casting insot
steel into the form OF guns came UP, and once
more the government decila,l that it was
better to have the men who furnish the steel
cast it roughly into the shape of the guns
than it was to be ut the expense Of SD, 600
