The proposal for the factory was
made on July 8, 1915, and sanctioned
on August II. The land on which the
factory now stands was then chiefly
dumping ground. Part of it being

The ironwork was started on Septem-

During the fiscal year ending June

The relative impotence of the sub
marine was further illustrated by the
fact that our exports, which are ma

imports. amounted to $6,294,000,000,
or sl5e0, ,cE0,0G0 nore than a year

So much for the submarine, which
was to destroy the commerce Of Ger

On the contrary, our commerce has
grown enormously and that Of Great

Another stimulus arising from the
German submarine policy. which is
