Frederick Gardner reports Washington’s $5 million defense program prompts bankers to consider who will fund wartime expansion. They trumpet $5 billion to $10 billion annual capacity, seek tax law changes for quick plant cost write-offs, and urge SEC rule tweaks. RFC and other federal credit agencies are seen as key funders, while some bankers fear reduced private business.
