suggest fully the enormous strides which
the United States took in the year just

increase above the best OF previous
years, and yet this immense enlargement
OF output was not, sufficient OF Itself to
satisfy the growing. It might even 6e

OF materials. In many cases the usual
foreign Quiet for our products was. per-

who confined their efforts to supplying

others, foreign production was called
UPON for reinforcement OF the domestic
output. with the result that new cur
rents and channels were created In our
