For this money they will pay from 1! 3 per cent interest—on loans guar- anteed up to 90 per cent by the government. In other words, a subcontractor must go to a bank for a war work loan, and if the bank won't grant it, then he has to start all over again and go to the Federal Reserve Board—which will take the matter “under consideration.” So it's pretty much the same old round in new trappings. 0 help direct this banker-ruled | system a big-shot Chicago baukex has been brought to w‘xslun(,ton by Sidney Weinburg, who is assist- ant to War Production Chief Don- ru ald Nelson and who was senior partner of Goldman, Sachs & Co., New York investment firm.

A bill long has been pending in Congress to creaie a special little business loan agency with ample| funds to extend such credits.
