Speaking recently before the Terra

In peculiar sense Bethlehem Steel

For example, though We have been
able to obtain in Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, in our charges
to the United States Government, to
the basis Of prices established before

We agreed-if the Government would
abandon its plans for a Federal plant

price the Government itScB might con-
slider fair.
our ordnance plants are at the dis
posal Of the nation at fair operating
cost, plus a small margin thus saving

pact. II is impossible to foretell the

We had made large quantities ~ shells
in the past which had been accepted.
But In placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor-

meet these novel tests. In fact We
know " no process Of proiectilc-mak-
