g the international Nickel Co directors and large stock
holders in munitions plants steel companies and other
interested in Thompson himself is
Director of the Oxford Copper Co.
All these directors OF international Nickel have been hard
hit their pocketbook by Secretary Daniels owprce
policy.
Daniels has hammered down the price OF armor- plate
and projcces point where there cxorbtant
profits only fair margin He has the price OF copper
20 the navy half compared with the open market
price He has insisted getting steel cost plus fair
profit less than half what the steel companies have been
soaking the allies and the public.
In other words Secretary Daniels has forced Col Thomp-
and his fellow directors OF the International Nickel Co
and his associates in the Navy league give up millions
Of dollars Of profits.
Naturally they naturally they would like to
discredit Daniels; naturally they would like him
