Compensation to be available for veterans in 1927
Washington reports that adjusted service compensation certificates held by World War I veterans will be usable in 1927 as bank collateral for loans. Banks may lend only with discretion, and loans are limited to the certificate holder or beneficiary, not through the Veterans Bureau.
