Plan to drop cash loan upon insured certificate urged by House leaders
Washington march 2 United Press reports House leaders backed by the Howse Donus committee proposed an insured certificate plan to replace cash loans for soldiers. The program would allow loans up to fifty percent of the soldier’s allotted amount at one dollar daily, with banks advancing funds and the Treasury covering shortages if borrowers default. Leaders claim the certificate would aid savings and protect the civilian advance system while opposition argues costs could reach billions if many certificates remain active.
