j World Glut of Steel
Seen Unless Rise in
Consumption Occurs
By the Associated Press
GENEVA, Sept. 30.—A world
wide steel glut within a few years
can only be averted by a consid
erable increase in steel consump
tion throughout the world, Tony
Rollman, head of the steel di
vision of the United Nations Eco
nomic Commission for Europe
told a news conference yesterday.
Mr. Rollman reported that a
private meeting of the commis
sion’s steel committee, which end
ed here last night, decided to
forestall a future crisis in the
European steel, industry by pro
moting an increase in the con
sumption of steel.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rollman said,
there was evidence that a current
severe slump in the steel indus
j tries of Belgium and Luxembourg
was gradually being overcome.
; The situation faced by the steel
I committee today was a complete
reversal of that when the com
imittee first began its work two
years ago, Mr. Rollman said. At
the beginning of 1947, a bottle
neck in steel was one of the major
obstacles to the postwar economic
recovery of Europe. Steel pro
duction lagged far behind the de
mand. Labor, raw materials and
equipment were in short supply,
and all the steel produced found
ia ready market.
! The steel shortage has now
been overcome, Rollman said, and
some mills have been compelled
to shut down for want of orders.
The steel committee at its meet
ing this week formally terminated
its original task of "relieving the
steel shortage in Europe” and
unanimously adopted new terms
of reference, which were. intended
mainly to relieve an anticipated
steel surplus.
The committee’s new task,
which will require approval of
the next session of the Economic
Commission for Europe, will be to
study European steel production
and consumption trends, to inves
tigate means of lowering produc
tion costs and of increasing con
sumption, particularly in the un
derdeveloped countries.
