Jesse H. Jones figured up today
he had committed 81 1.200,0 1000 to
the defense program already, but
said it was just like buying sweat
erS.
AS the Federal loan administra-
tor he controls the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. and five other Gov
ernment corporations putting money
into the defense program.
He is working IL hours a day in
spite of his 66 years, and says he's
enjoying it immensely.
But to explain his operations, he
had to go back for an example to
the days in 1918 when he was buy
ing sweaters for the Red Cross.
The boys in the Army needed
sweaters" he related. THE ladies
knitted a lot of them, but we had
to buy lot more. I bought as
many as I could at one price, but
needed more so I bought all I
could at the next highest price, and
so on
Theory Explained to Legislators.
The point was the boys needed
sweaters, and they needed them
whether they cost 81 or S."
He was trying to explain that
theory of spending to a congress
sional committee recently and acci-
dentally said that it was time ito
throw money away" Reputed to
be one of the shreWdest business
men in the world, he didn't mean
it that way, at all. He meant that
when things were needed, they had
to be bought-and without penny
pinching delay.
Thus while other Government
agencies haggle over details, Mr..
Jones has been acting. He has Or
dered $410,000,000 worth of rubber,
tin and other essential supplies. He
has lent $540000,0O0 to build new
factories for airplanes, tanks and
guns. And he has advanced about
5000, 100000 more for working cap
ital to operate defense plants.
In addition, Uncle Jesse" has
plans for use, when and if necessary,
to buy and store $50,000,000 worth
of aviation gasoline and to spend
upward of $50O,O00,O0O for factories
to make artificial rubber.
Building Tin Smelter.
He bought 90 900 tons of tin from
Bolivia and is building the first tin
smelter in America to process it. In
fact, he has bought so many things
that it is taking other agencies
