American left-lease officials tackle how to aid Russia’s postwar reconstruction while keeping U.S. employment high, shifting lend-lease to peacetime trade with shipments of useful capital goods on credit. Long-life equipment like electric generators move out before war end but are financed for peacetime use, preventing a production slump and aiding Russia’s plant and power needs.
