The report enumerated q wide

The report stated that U. s

finished steel during the year to
tailed more than twenty million net
tons-an all.time high and an In
crease of more than one.third over
the shipments In 1910. The net
tons Of ingots produced by U. 8
Steel subsidiaries also established
an all.time record and represented
an increase Of more than one
fourth over the 1910 production.
Mr.. Odds pointed out that steel
production "by no means repre-
sents the total contribution of u. s
Steel to the war effort Most Of
u. s. Steeps products are further
