...Defense Commissioner Ed Stettinius announced a $40,000,000 plan for installing steel forging capacity in arsenals, steel hammering & boring plants. This will take an estimated 7-800,000 tons of heavy steels...
Late last week Defense Advisory Commissioner Edward R. Stettinius Jr. made a cheerful announcement. For the first time in 30 years the output of the U. S. wood-pulp industry practically equaled U. S. consumption. Production this year, said he, should hit a record 9,000,000 tons, up 27% from 1939's 7,107,000 tons. Furthermore, if U. S. pulpsters bring old, inefficient plants into action, they can boost production another...
...importer, but now it is also the No. 2 world pulp exporter, second only to Canada. Fortnight ago the Department of Commerce announced U. S. pulp exports in July hit an all-time high of 65,548 tons, nearly six times a year ago.

Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, the splintered War Department's Henry Stimson (see p. 20), and their ranking officers (Stark, Marshall), along with Industrialists William Knudsen and Edward Stettinius, Labor's Sidney Hillman, are often at the White House to talk and administer Defense (see p. 77). A curious, fateful fact about Franklin Roosevelt is that none of these men-not even Cordell Hull-belongs to the President's innermost Inner Circle. They are professionals or emergency specialists with...
