Government orders steel cutbacks to curb civilian production
The government moved to reduce steel use by 20 percent from April 1, impacting hundreds of civilian goods from toys to cars. Automobiles may escape large cuts due to high current production, while heavy durable goods and defense related items face reductions. Authorities expect shortages and urge manufacturers to stretch steel. small firms may be hardest hit as some rely on parts from others.
