...Capacity wise: All capital goods investment (private and Government) put $15,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000 a year of total new money to work in each War year.

S. steel capacity is over 70,000,000 tons, British steel capacity is 14,000,000. British industry is now for the first time getting a real lift from arms spending of $2,948,000,000 for defense-44% more than our 1939 bill. To achieve a proportional effect...
