Loans to Soldiers Aid by Red Cross in War Adjustments
Loans totaling about 50000 dollars have been advanced to around 4000 disabled soldiers by the American Red Cross for personal uses while they adjust their affairs with the federal board for vocational training. The loans are not charity, but part of the Red Cross war obligation.
