early during the war.


 In 1947 the steel industry turned out approximately 85 million tons of steel ingotts enough to make 62,3OO 900 tons of finished steel products.
 One government expert estimates that for full en- poyment the country will need 8 tons of steel year per civilian job, about 15 million tons of additional steel capacity for the period ending in 195O The steel industry has replied that plans to increase its capacity by and oneha million tons of ingot capacity by the end of 1948.
 The steel industry of course, is cautious because it remembers the time when business poor it oper aed at only 35 per cent of capacity The industry points out that shortages of scrap coke and transportation fa cilities definitely limit possible steel production much do plant capacities.
 The industry points out that steel mill capacity could not be increased greatly without diverng considerable muchneeded steel to mill construction purposes and it would be at least two years after such building started before the new mills could come into production.
 The fact remains however, that American industry, and world industry too has been starved for steel for several years now. acual survey of steel needs at least would remove much of the guesswork which has been involved in all steel capacity discussions which have been held so far

No Time For CuesswOrk
(The Denver Post)

FOSCJ IN THE LAST year many arguments, pro and con, on the question of whether the American steel industry has the plant capacity to make possible the maintenance of full employment have been heard Now the specal steel subcommittee of the special Senate committee the problems of small business has proposed that someone preferably the department of commerce, should find out what the nations steel needs for the next few will be.
 The proposal certainly is sound particularly since
