MUNITION SUPPLY
Allied Purchases In United States REPORTED PLANS Money For Expansion Of Plants (By Telegraph.—-Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received March 15, 7.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 15. It is authoritatively stated that the Allied purchasing mission intends spending over 100,000,000 dollars in the United States for munitions and in expanding munitions plants, in addition to a 1,427,000-dollar loan to the Atlas Powder Company to enable the construction of a T.N.T. plant. The French are negotiating for the construction of a 25,000,000-dollar powder factory. United States officials welcome the expansion because the United States’ munitions-producing capacity has declined since the war.
