U. 1 Steel Head Says Firm Prepare! To Do Its Part In Nation's Defense

'Tear-End StatementBy IKYING S. OLDS,

Chairman, V. S. Steel Corp.During recent months, the out

standing characteristic of thesteel Industry has been the con­ sistently high rate of operations ranging from around 70% olrated Ingot capacity In the first quarter of 1940 to more than 90% In the last quarter, with an average Ingot production for the year slightly In excess, of 80% ofrated capacity. This country pro­duced more steel in 1940 than inany previous year, exceeding theproduction of the record year ol1929 by a considerable amount.

After the low rates at whichthe steel Industry has operatedalmost continuously since 1930,It Is gratifying to witness sucha substantial realization of thisbasic Industry's vast resources,both in equipment and man­power, but it must not be over­looked that the causes are trans­itory, tracing back to the war InEurope and to generally dis­turbed conditions In the world,and that readjustments will fol­low when a more peaceful day Isreached.

Some commentators outsideof the steel Industry have ques­ tioned the adequacy of existingsteel capacity to take care odemands . during the present emergency. To date, the nation'sdefense effort has not been de­ layed by any shortage of stee and no such delays from tha' cause are anticipated by the In­ dustry.

Continue ImprovementsPresent Ingot capacity of the

industry is about 60% greaterthan the peak production in 191' during the World War andapproximately 30% greater than:he ingot production of the rec­ord year of 1929.

The subsidiaries of UnitedStates Steel Corporation are now 'engaged in the execution ofa carefully considered program of plant improvement and ex-lonsion. Expenditures of suchsubsidiaries during 1940 for Im­provements and extensions ag­gregated approximately $80,000,-

000, and at Dec. 31, 1940, theunexpended balance on authori­zations for this programamounts to approximately $155,-100.000. Other steel companieslave announced plans for sub­ stantial improvements and ex-ensions In their facilities.Extensive facilities have been

or arc now being Installed at

certain plants of subsidiaries cUnited States Steel Corporatlofor the production of heavy anlight armor plate, rhcll forging and unloaded shells and bombIn order that these subsldlarle may perform contracts under taken In connection with thnational defense program.

Stands Prepared During the past year th

facilities of the shipyard a Kearny, New Jersey, have beematerially increased and thayard is now busily engaged ithe construction of vessels fothe Navy and the MaritimCommission. A subsidiary Is novoperating under lease .the Government's armor plate plant aSouth Charleston, West Virginiawhich Is being substantially enlarged.

We start the new year wltla deep sense of responsibility

The proper utilization of thgreat energies and resources othe country can be obtained 'onljby the sustained and coordlnated efforts of all In wlllinjobedience to the obligation t<make the public interest ancpublic need paramount 'to alother interests -and aims;

United States Steel don^lde^ itself prepared to fulfill . He 'parin this great national ' urtdertaking. , '..- - ; ;
