The fact is that armor making ia the leaat profitable feature of ateel mam l * * * The reason we oppose a Government plant is very simple. It is this. Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have invested over $7,000,000 in our armor plant; * That plant is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant fa built the usefulness of our plant is destroyed. It would be good business for us to make armor for the Governat any price over and above the actual shop cost, RATHER THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. * * • We do not seek to save big profits; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plant—itself built solely for the use of the Governmentr-from going to the scrap heap.
