Veterans Thought of This Borrowing Plan
A Marshall News commentary questions veterans taking 50 percent loans against their certificates. It notes 44 percent interest on the borrowed half, deducted from the 50 percent due in 1945, leaving only 162.50 of a 1000 face value in 1945. The piece cautions that this may be a bad financial move for most veterans, though some hard pressed individuals could benefit.
