Summary	In a national defense emergency the significance of steel products and steel prices to the economy is heightened. The production of steel in large quantities is not only basic to our defense, but with the Nation's business being increasingly diverted from normal pursuits to defense production, is more than ever a bellweather for the entire price structure... The Price Schedule is issued to assure that for the immediate present steel prices will not be raised. The Office of Price Administration will immediately undertake to study the data on prices and costs, including the significance of capacity volume and the differences in the costs of different producers. Estimates and guesses are not enough when the Nation's welfare may be at stake. An expeditions study, involving relatively little delay and injustice, will permit the garnering of actual experience. Some inequities or injustices may be involved in this decision. But the iron and steel producers will undoubtedly continue in their patriotic cooperation in the interest of price stability. Individual instances of extreme or disproportionate hardship may be presented by application for modification of the Price Schedule. The dominant consideration must be the prevention of undue price rises; to protect the Government, which purchases directly or indirectly a very substantial part of the Nation's steel production; and to protect the Nation's price structure which must be guarded vigilantly, particularly at the present time, in order to prevent price spiraling and inflation... Leon Henderson, Administrator.--p.1-4.
