' Bulletin No. 5 The Bethlehem Steel Company’s Offer to Serve the United States ■S’ , ® 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 expenditure of $11,000,000 of the people’s money for a Government armor plant? X * To clear up the whole situation, and to 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. . . V • . . M • \ ~ The House of Representatives voted down a moposal to empower the Federal Trade Commission to determine a fair price for armor, and allow private manufacturers 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. X * Bethlehem Steel Company
