The Bethlehem Steel Corp. has become one of the greatest of shipbuilding corporations. The United States Steel Corp. will in June begin the launching of a ship every ten days. Chairman E.H. Gary said that it had intended to stay out. Officials asked if they could not undertake the work. Since ships were so urgently needed, and after careful study they decided that they could at least build ships as cheaply, as quickly, and get into the business as rapidly as any one else. In England the British Shipbuilding and shipping record notes the same connection. Outside of official circles the talk is of combinations for the purpose of post-war business of steel-makers and yards.
