Referring to a i cport in certain
Amoiican trade journals that the l?rit
i: h gove: mnent had urire.l Iladtields
to seek this contract for the purpose
of ci eating a panic in the American
steel market, and a re.-ultant rcduc-
j in the export juice of American
cf th;.' j steel, the secretary says that "is pat
e roads . TeL absurdity," as such an order would

the attitude of these companies in this

competition eh her by the government
or by other im-m patiiotic leins, I
would! feel that they were putting our
entire program of preparedness in
peril. The department v.i.dies to give
all of its orders to Ann iiean manu
facturers whenever they ijuote reas
onable prices and furnish .-.hells that

die utter failure of the m i.-t patient.
