TOP SECRET production far in excess of those now estimated for the whole Soviet Bloc. (j) In 1951, the U.S.S.R. consumed approximately 2.2 million tons of finished steel in the production of armaments, or 9.2 per cent of a total supply of 23.4 million tons. (k) Armaments production in the U.S.S.R. between 1947 and 1951 remained at a fairly constant level, (apart from an increase in ammunition, attributed to Korean demands), but steel production rose quickly. Therefore, the surplus available for civilian consumption also increased.
