War Production Set To Surge Four Months
Administration leaders announced a planned 30 percent rise in war production over the next four months, aiming at military spending near five billion dollars monthly by year’s end. Senator McKellar said the defense bill would total about 13.684 billion dollars for January through June, compared with 16 billion spent from July 1940 to February 1942. The treasury noted January defense outlays around 2.1 billion dollars, needing an average of 2.757 billion for February and the following four months to hit the target, with even faster spending anticipated later in the year.
