At a time when the expenses of the Government are so enormous
Isn't it worth while finding out the actual facts before plunging ahead into an
expenditure of $11,000,000 of the people's money for a Government armor plant?
To clear up tlif whole situation, and to put it on a basis as fair and bubicess-like as
've know how to cxx)ross it, .we now make this oficr to the Government:
The I5ellilehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for the
Government of the United States at actual cost of operation plus such
charges' for overhead expenses, interest and depreciation as the Federal
Trade Commission may fix. We will agree to this for such period as
the Government may designate.
Thf House of Representatives voted down a proposal to empower the Federal Trade
Commission to determine a fair price for armor, and allow private manufacturers
opportunity to meet that price before the Government built its plant.
Isn't our proposition fair and ought it not to he accepted?
The measure is now before the United States Senate.
