WHY NOT NEWPORT NEWS
FOR A GREAT STEEL PlANT7
Being on Waters Edge and Home Of
shipb"iidinE Site. Is Logical.
to Say the Least

Commenting on an editorial last
week about the $4,000, 900 to be ex-
pended by the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany at the Sparrows Point works, near
Baltimore. the Daily Press. of New
port News. asks the question:
But would not Newport News be
even Il better location for such a com
hination plant? II not. why not? we
may not live to see II, but some of
our fellow-citizens will live To ser a
great steel mill and shipyard com
bined on the shores of HAMPTON Roads
II is inevitable, and the letter of Presi-
dent Grace is prophetic of similar ac-
tivities at Newport News"
We trust that the prediction Of the
Press will be fulfilled, not in the far
distant future. but within the life
time of the editor of that paper For
many years the Manufacturers Record
has pointed out the fact that the Hamp-
ton Roads basin affords one OF the best
sites in the world for aIgreat iron and
steel plant. To that point could be
brought ores from Cuba aid Brazil
countries. which would there meet the
coal from Virginia and West Virginia.
We believe that the natural advantages
possessed by the Maryland Steel plant.
now owned by the Bethlehem Company.
could be duplicated on Hampton Roads.
with the added advantages Of prorim-
ity to the ocean.
The Newport News people should
keep these facts conspicuously before
the world. and at the same time work
through every personal connection
available to interest the iron and steel
makers of the country to study the
observation-disclosures Record.
