Further Cut Seen
In Steel Output
As Buying Slows
Inqot Production
Drops ; Points From
Previous Week

BY the Associated PreSS
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Further
curtailment of steel making opera
tions is inevitable" unless new
business increases, Iron Age said to-
day in a weekly survey.
Ingot production for the current
week was estimated at 80 per cent Of
capacity, decline of points from
the preceding week.
shipments are still heavy and
are far exceeding the volume of in
coming orders, which range from a
probable low point of about IS per
cent of shipments in one important
instance to as much as SIS to go per
cent with other companies" the re-
view declared.
Current production is largely sus-
tanned by backlog tonnage carried
over from the fourth quarter, but
this is rapidly diminishing" said the
MAGAZINE.
while there has been a seasonal
slowing down in consumption of
steel by some industries, including
the fabrication of structural steel,
the automobile industry, barrel and
drum manufacturers and tin can
manufacturers, there is, on the other
hand, steady use by the railroads
and railroad equipment builder, the
farm implement and tractor indus
tries, shipbuilders and miscellaneous
manufacturers.
I'm the easier steel situation
which now prevails there is sharper
price competition for export orders.
However, quotations are still gen.
orally above domestic levels. The
volume of inquiries and orders from
abroad has been gradually expand
ing in the past few weeks
Scrap markets continue to show
declining trend. The Iron Age
scrap composite price dropped IS
cents to $l7.54 ton, the first
change since December 26.

One will come across arguments
like this in almost all the writings
upon the subject of democracy Of
the last twenty five hundred
years. And believe me. 1t was not
only the professional pessimists
who spoke that way.
Even out-and-out lovers of de-
mocracy were upset by their fear
that most people are either too
Indifferent or too sadly lacking
in a feeling Of independence to
take care of their own interests,
and that therefore they would in
variably take the easier way out
and leave the conduct of their af-
fairs TO those who promised to re-
lieve them of all further feeling
of responsibility.
You will come across such
uOubts III THO NEithBs VI c.s'~
all the men who founded our own
republic. They believed passion
ateIy in the ideal of democracy.
But they realized that it was by
far the most difficult and exacting
form of government. And there
fore they asked themselves, will
the great mass of the people ever
make the personal sacrifices
necessary to maintain a state Of
affairs which demands that each
and every one Of them be for
ever on the job defending the
ramparts from enemies both from
outside the walls and from the
inside?
