school work, appointed me to the

sure my endeavors have met with
success.

Bulletin No. 5
The Bethlehsm Steel Company's
Offer fo Serve the United States
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 ex-
penditure of $11,000,000 of the people's money for a Government armor plant?
To clear up the whole situation, and put it on a basis as fair and business-like
as we know how to express it, we now make this offer to the Government:
The Bethlehem 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.
The House of Representatives voted down a proposal to empower the Federal
Trade Commission to determine a fair price for armor, and allow private man-
ufacturers opportunity to meet that price before the Government built its plant.
Isn't our proposition fair and ought it not to be accepted?
The measure is now before the United States Senate.
