ARGUES AGAINST
|. u. S. ARMOR SHOP
Bethlehem Steel Man Says All
Americas Should Have
Uniform Equipment.
AT GOVERNMENTS MERCY
Asks that Experts Inspect Company's
Books to Determine and Fix
Price of Product.

An urgent plea to the members of the
/ House Naval Affairs Committee against
putting the private armor plate factories
out of business by the building of a gov
eminent plant was slade yesterday by
W. G. Grace. president Of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company
Some day." said Mr.. Grace, America
Will have to be defended from countries
abroad. II that contingency arises, I
believe that 1t is quite important that all
the Americas should have uniform war
equipment. II you are going to put our
plants out of business, do not see what
you are going to do.
U. 5. Gets Best Plate.
If such crisis should arise, you will
find uniform equipment in the United
States alone, with the exception of some
We have sold Argentine. One country
has German guns, another French. Bat
tleships, field artillery, guns should be
of uniform type.
TN challenge anyone to say that the
Bethlehem Steel Company has ever made
any effort to influence legislation in the
way of procuring a large naval program
I'm tired Of hearing that the build
ing OF armor plants would be an in
centive to war. Don't please cast that
kind of reflection on us The United
States is getting the best armor in the
world and at lower prices than are paid
by governments abroad
Il do not think 1t is fair for this gov
eminent to put armor plate manufacture
on competitive basis. II is not a COM
mercial transaction. We're at the mercy
Of the government. If you want to put
US out of business, that's your privilege
The Bethlehem company will go on doing
other work beside the manufacture Of
armor."
Mr.. Grace repeated the offer he had
made before the Senate committee to sell
armor to the government for 1895 a ton
on an estimated production of 1900 tons
year for the next five years. With the
increased output, he said, the reduction
in price would be made.
Navy Department. Biased.
AS an alternative proposition, he por-
| posed that the government designate ex-
pert accountants or the Federal Trade
Commission to make an examination OF
the books of the Bethlehem company,
III they find that we are entitled to
more than s3s5,' he added, I'VE shall ex-
pect the United States to be fair enough
| to pay us. II they find that we are not
entitled to 1t, we are willing to have them
| fix the price. Our property investment OF
100000 Is dependent upon the passage OF
I TINS DILL If II is passed, we are through.
The witness said that the Bethlehem
company including all its plants, to the
Navy Department fix the price of armoT
because 1t was biased. He explained that
the armor plate plants of the country had
earned an average net profit of only l g.
per cent in the last twenty years.
To indicate the value of the Bethlehem
Company, including all its plants, to the
United States, Mr.. Grace said that II
could make armor faster than ships
could be built. and that army equipment
could be made faster than the men to
| serve could be obtained

the note which is to be considered an ultimatum before the address was delivered to Congress was in- tense and indescribable. Members leaned over their desks grasping every syllable as it foll from the lips of the President in carefully end slowly modulated tones.
 Wilson informed Congress that the State Department possessed a positive accumulation of indisput able facts to prove to the hilt that Germany was violating every single assurance that she had given the United States with reference to the submarine campaign.

facts that Germany could not deny and dare not question, President Wilson declared that he meant to sever diplomatic relations unless the German submarine policy is brough: within the pale of international law once more, unless the solemn assur- ances which Germany had given the United States were lived up to and some guarantee afforded the govern ment of the United States that ne- gotiations agreed upon and mutu- ally accepted by both nations would be something more than an idle con- versation among diplomats.
 President Wilson asked no action of Congress whatever He said that as far as the administration is con- cerned the note to Germany and his address to Congress on the sub- ject are final.

CONGRESS LISTENS WILSON'S
 INDICTMENT OF GERMANY

WASHINGTON. D. O., April 19.- Resident Wilson attended a joint session of Congress at one o'clock today when he carefully read an ad- dress on the matter of the subma- rine controversy now existing be- tween the government of the United States and the Imperial German government.
 Wilson at the inception of his address referred to his submission of the question to Congress some time ago, when he sought the un- equivocal support of the legislative body of the nation in support O.; : his efforts, and told how it gratified him to find such a ready response to his requirements.
 Now, proceeded Wilson, i've have given Germany irrevocable mo- tificatiOn that the United States will sever diplomatic relations with her if the illegal submarine campaign continues.
