It is very evident, Perry continued, the expansion of western steel manufacturing that has already takemplace, plus that which is planned, is much greater than the expansion over the nation as a whole or in any other single section of the country. This is further evidence of the cooperation which United States Steel Corporation and the industry as a yhole is .giving to the development and growth of western Industry. This may mean that within a relatively short 'time, the far western states will have steel making and steel finishing will compare favorably with any other section. It yfnfeans that Pacific coast manufacturers in the not too distant future will have to step fast to use steel in products never made here before, and in addition, will be able to compete in wider markets, both capa-citywhi- eh -- domestic .
