FOR RECONSTRUCTION
AMERICAN BANK CREDITS
WASHINGTON, March 14
Mr. Jesse H. Jones, controller of the Export and Import Bank, announced that the 20,000,000-dollar credits provided by the bank were still available to Finland and might be used for internal reconstruction, including the erection of homes for the more than 400,000 Finns who are expected to become refugees from the areas Russia is taking over.
' This, he said, was a departure from the usual policy of requiring the use of credits to acquire materials in the United States.- Mr. Jones said the trustees of certain banks would sympathetically consider any request to take a portion of the sum in cash.
