Financing Victory Loan To Help Industry
Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck & Co., a government official by a dollar a year, argues the Victory loan should be widely distributed to fund postwar industry. He says Germany’s surrender came as chiefs foresaw American firepower and that successful financing requires broad public participation to avoid burdening private lenders. He urges cooperation of all who aided previous drives and predicts strong citizen response.
