R F C Loans Proved Neutral Ground
Washington observers note restrained use of Reconstruction Finance Corp funds in the presidential campaign. Despite large authorizations, less than 2 percent of relief money has moved into loans, with self-liquidating projects slow to disburse due to court, legislative, and contract delays. California warrants drew attention as Bay bridge and Los Angeles aqueduct projects received major support. The R F C board, now Democrats, avoided political leverage and aims to preserve restraint before election day. Home loan banks report heavy demand but issued no loans before election.
