Expansion Of U S Powder Industry Likely By Allies
Edward Eb Bomar reports that heavy Allied orders for explosives may trigger a U S expansion of munitions plants akin to the wartime boom. Atlas Powder Co of Wilmington, Del., is said to gain TNT capacity, with plans to double Missouri plant output and a France financed $25 million powder facility under discussion. Britain and France seek imports and factories to meet a potential World War level demand, while U S arms production, though reduced since WWI, faces pressure from both the Army and Navy to expand as a national defense precaution.
