Speaking recently before tu Terra-

pin Club of Philadelphia,
'Grace, President of tho Bethlehem
Steel Company, said In part:
In a peculiar senso Bethlehem Steel
servos the American people.
Tor example, though wo havo been
ablo to obtain In Europe almost any
price, we have adhered, In our oharges
to tho United States Government, to
tho basis of prices established before
tho war began.
Wo agreed—If the Government would
abandon Its plans for .a Federal plant—
to mako armor for our Navy- at any
prtco the Government Utelf might con
sider /air.
Our ordnance plants aro at the dis
posal of the nation at a fair operating
cost) plus a small margin, thus saving
tho Government Investment and de
preciation.
One of the special needs of the now
navy Is slxtcon-lnch guns—guns sixty
feet long and capablo of hurtling a.
2000 pound shell with such power and
accuracy aB to hit a 60 fool tquare tar
get fifteen miles away. '
We have undertaken voluntarily to
construct, at a coat of $4,600,000, a
plant fitted to build slxteen-lncb guns.
Under no conceivable circumstances
can orders which we may receive for
this plant pay even a fair return on
the Investment.
Considerable comment has been made
upon the fact that a British manufac
turer recently bid less than American
manufacturers for sixteen and four
teen-inch shells, for tho navy.
I am unable, to state the basis upon
which the English bid was made. It
should bo remembered, however, that
this bid was for a specific shell, sam
ples of which aro being sent over for
test-a test hot yet made.

Two years ago wo took an order tot
2400 fourteen-inch armor-plerclng shells
at a contract pglce of $768,000, to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay a large penalty.
Tho only specifications for making
these shells aro that they Bhall be
of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at a certain velocity on Im
pact. It is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions of the tests.
, We bad made large quantities of shells
In the post which had been accopted.
But in placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which

Buch was tho experience la the light
of which we were called upon recent-
< -ly to bld'fOr-alxteen-liich Shglls.
We bid on these shells at approxi
mately the same rate per pound as
that of a fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which tke Gov
ernment awarded contracts.
We have not the slightest Idea what
profit there will be In the mahlng of
these BheUs. We die not know that
there wiU be any. Thera Is no certain,
ty that It would be possible for ns to
deliver a shell to meet the test.
For officers in tbs Navy to assume
that any bid made under such condi
tions Is "exorbitant” is utterly unfair.
We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination of our hooks, found
would yield a profit of less than tsn
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for Increased costs of materials and la
bor, that made it possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap
propriated by Congress on the basis of
the cost estimates made a year ago.

And because shipbuilders
alter the Inexorable cost facts and re
duce bids to early estimates of the
Navy Department, the prices are called

profit from It cannot possibly, amount
to much, and the responsibility la enor
