Summary	The output of the steel mills serves as the backbone of the weapons, the tanks, the airplanes, and the ships on which the fate of free government in this world rests... [T]he leaders of the iron and steel industry of the United States... have a great responsibility. They must supply, at the time it is required, the steel in the form and type essential, not only to carry out the immense armament program necessary for our own protection, but they must supply adequate steel to serve the requirements of Great Britain, Canada, Russia, China, and all other forces determined to defeat the Axis Powers. And, added to this, steel must maintain the industries absolutely essential to the functioning of our civilian life, as well as that of Latin America and every other civilized country in the world, depending upon that commodity. No greater burden has ever been thrown on a single industry. No greater call has ever been made on any industrial group than is required of the steel industry. The initiative, the energy, and the resourcefulness of every man in every capacity, from the senior executives through every type of labor must concentrate upon those objectives...--p.1.
