Embargo Lift Would Boost Industrial U S
Washington reports suggest lifting the embargo would shift European war orders to the Industrial Northeast, certain Middle Western states, and aircraft plants in California and Washington. Unofficial estimates place Britain and France ready to place about 1 billion dollars in orders once lifted, with northern neutral purchasing missions present. Army and Navy mobilization plans indicate six-state industrial triangle from Pittsburgh to Boston would supply about 60 percent of munitions, and two-thirds of U S aircraft are built on the Pacific Coast.
