Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To The American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over $1,000, 600
to a British bidder for IA and l6-lnch
projectiles for the Navy because Of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
We know nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
lie is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1920 I4-inch shells at a
price of 81, 5l5,O 900. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
ccpted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, me- ~terials, etc., on these
orders s522, 1871, and we have not
received a SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition, a literal Interpretation Of
The contract might make US liable for
penalties amounting to S678.olo.
In the light of our experience, and nav
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately TIE same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded a l4-inch shell
contract M year ago.
