Financial mystery in the New Deal era bank lending and SEC data
SEC researchers probe industrial financing in the New Deal era noting bank loans rising by nearly 809 million and security issues totaling about six billion since 1934. Much funds flow directly to merchants and manufacturers via WPA PWA and AAA programs, bypassing banks, with estimates of new money in business at around 2.5 billion. The inquiry questions whether official statistics reflect true credit flows and hints at political maneuvering around Roosevelt and Farm Bureau figures.
