Under the process of payment,

Thus far, of $1,708,600,000 in
bonds issued to the veterans, a to

against an estimate made in May
that the cash cost of the bonds
would run to $2,237,000,000.
The figures, too, showed both
bond and cash payments rapidly
dwindling. In approximately the

in bonds were issued of which the
veterans cashed $724,200,000.
