Then you are here today threatening

armor plant these companies will
plumber the country by charging out
Hitchcock of Nebraska.
They will have a right to charge
these prices" answered Senator Lodge.
IF the United States is going to put
them out of business they will have a
right to recover their investments"

the United States contemplated manu-
featuring it's own powder" said Sem
ator Hitchcock, but when government
powder factories were built the prices
so cents within a few years"
