Vast Capital Must Be Raised

The biggest hurdle of all is that of
raising the capital funds to build their
new plants and facilities. That calls for
profits sufficiently attractive to hold the
confidence of investors and lenders.
Unfortunately, many companies in
steel and other industries are suffering
from malady known as phantom
profits figures which must be reported
as profits subject to taxes but are really
costs of doing business.
This comes about because our Federal
Tax Laws make no allowance for the
effects of imitation. Under these laws an

Meanwhile, the normal demand for
steel continues to grow with the rise in
population and in living standards.
In rs years the country's population
has increased by So per cent and the
per capita use of steel in America in that
period has gone up from 469 pounds to
1890 pounds, or 1876 per cent.
Keeping abreast Of all these added
needs for steel in our country is the job
and responsibility of the steel companies
Yet every American has stake in that
job because without enough steel in the
years ahead the nation could not main
tain its world position.
But if the steel companies are to main
tain the current pace, let alone to accel-
crate it, all of us should be aware of the
difficult hurdles they have to clear in
achieving this goal.

Just one year ago, in announcing that

ing capacity, l said that during the next
three years they plan to build Is million
tons of new capacity" The estimated
cost was So billion.
Now, II months later, am able to re-
port that these company programs of
expansion are moving ahead on schedule.
With the addition of million tons of

equipped to produce 1885 million tons
of steel annually.
That is more than 40 per cent of the

industrial company is allowed, in theory,
to save up enough money over the life
of a piece of equipment to replace it
when it wears out.
But the catch is that the company is
allowed to recover only the original cost
of that piece of equipment, whereas the
actual cost of replacing it may be three
or four times asmuch, because imitation.
Thus, the amount recovered through
depreciation" under the present tax
laws is not nearly enough to pay for re-
placing the worn-out equipment. Conse-
quently American industry must use a
substantial part of its so-caled profits
just to replace its facilities as they wear

Constant Supply Is Essential
This seriously impairs industry's abil-
ity to expand as rapidly as it should in
the national interest. That is especially
true in the steel industry because steel
making equipment is enormously costly
and has an unusually low rate of
depreciation.
But with continued understanding and
support of the American public, this
nations many individual steel companies
will surely succeed in the effort to keep
steel always available for the thousands
of purposes it serves. America and steel
