Bethlehem Steel Ready to

PATRIOTIC MOTIVE
BEHIND THE MOVE
Corporation Desires Only
TO Serve Country, Pres
ident Grace Says

Philadelphia, Jan IS. Speaking be-
fore the Terrapin Club here tonight
on the complaint Of the Navy Depart
ment that bids received for wsrships
were too high. Eugene G. Grace, presl-
dent Of the Bethlehem Steel Company
said that his company had determined
70 make an offer TO the government
that If IL would build two OF the four
authorized battle cruisers in navy
wards the Bethlehem company would
construct the other two at the ascer-
tanned cost Of building the ships in the
government yards.
eve will also contract 10 have our
Sims ready for service ahead Of the
government ships" he said.
Motives Patriotic
at would be a real advantage to
Bethlehem steel shipyards to be re-
Ieved Of any obligation 70 enter upon
this naval construction" MI Grace
continued. "The profit from it cannot
possibly amount to much and the re-
sponsibility is enormous. But we DO
feel a patriotic obligation in the mat
ter. and We realize that it is our duty
TO do everything we can TO make our
plant and experience available FOR the
use of the American government
The policy Of the Navy Department
Mr.. Grace said, seemed to embody an
effort 10 discourage private enterprise
and 10 divert all work for national de-
fence into government plants. Al
though the Bethlehem Steel Company
had been able, since the European war
began. to obtain in Europe the highest
prices for its products, IL had adhered
in its charges to the United states
government 10 the basis OF prices es-
tablished before the war.
Referring to a recent announcement
that a British manufacturer had under
bid American concerns for shells lot
the navy, Mr.. Grace said it should be
remembered that the British navy mad
seen but little action and that II was
entirely conceivable that there was a
surplus of naval shells which the Brit
ish government might be willing 10
have it's munition makers dump IN the
United States and turn the proceeds
/ into shells for the bsttlefelds.
or the reasons for the price at which
the Bethlehem company bid for shells
1 he said:
"Two years ago we took an order fol-
2 400 14-inch piercing shells at a
contract price Of S76sOOO. These shells
were TO be delivered within certain
time or we had TO pay large penalty.
Tests Not Standardized

Navy Department gives for the guild
, ance of manufacturers in making thes'
shells is that they shall be OF Ger
tain size and that they must pierce
