A review of the adjusted compensation program shows the government will repay banks for loans tied to veterans certificates while deducting only principal and pre-1931 interest from individual payouts.

The piece also notes political shifts in Louisiana and Georgia, and a sharp inflation illustration from postwar Germany.
