WASHINGTON, A ug, 10
The nations steel picture has
changed greatly during the past
few weeks. Little more than a
month ago, both private indus
try and Government agencies
agreed that our ingot-producing
capacity was ample. The only
bottlenecks were in the inter
mediate fabrication of steel, not
ably into plate and structural
forms. Both of these were sched-
uled to be broken soon.
Now we have run up against
a steel shortage that is not con-
fined to fabrication in any stage.
We can't get enough ingots. Ev-
en- if there were no scrap short
age, we still couldn't get enough
ingots. Our capacity, the Gov
eminent says, is not adequate.
SUPER PRODUCTION
USES UP SUPPLY
Why is it that so critical a sit
uation should have changed SO
rapidly? Was everybody wrong
a month or six weeks ago? Is
the War Production Board
wrong now?
Inquiry suggests that the fun
damental error was this:
We didn't know how good we
are.
We-which is to say the WPB,
the industry and the people as a
Whole--failed to realize how
fast our new and converted fac
tories would get into mass pro-
duction of ships, planes, tanks,
guns, etc.
Quotas were set so high that
they seemed almost fantastic.
Steel was allocated on the basis
of those quotas. 1t appeared
that our capacity would provide
the steel needed for the quotas.
Everything seemed rosy.
Then, suddenly, we found
plant after plant far ahead of its
schedule. 1t had used its own
share of steel, and demanded
more. 1t had turned out the
ships, the planes, the tanks
which were expected, and was
ready to produce more-if it
could get the steel.
But the steel wasn't available
to supply this unexpected de-
mand.
SHIP BUILDING
EXCEEDS QUOTAS
The shipyards, turning out
Liberty Ships and other types
ahead of schedule, asked for adj
ditional allotments of steel to
build more vessels.
We want those craft badly,
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-08-13
Steel CobbIed Up Faster Than it Can be Produced

Possessing shipyards capable
of using steel faster than it was
available, should we build more
notably the Higgins project, In
New Orleans-for which no ad-
equate steel supply could be
available, without robbing 9TH
ers?
AS one spokesman for the
WPB explains the situation pa
tiently to those who question
him:
Its like a deck of cards in a
poker game. There are only fiji
