Government Aid For Transferred Factories

The War Finance Corporation will support loans up to one billion dollars, with two paths: banks can pass 75 percent of advances to the War Finance Corp or firms can apply directly with adequate security. The program targets firms in essential or indirect war production and seeks to prevent bankruptcies during the crisis.
