Months ago many veterans anc
veterans organization, were yelling
about the way it was impossible te
get . loan under the CT bill. They
said, and with some justification, the
loan provisions were so wrapped up
in taffy that trying to get a loan
was like trying to slam a swinging
door.
Then, last December 2S, the G1
Bill amendments were signed by
President Truman. They made 1t
a lot easier to get loan. They did
other nice things, too.
In fact, they made the GI loan
business look up so that to date one
out OF every hundred ex-Joes and
James has already used his CT. loan
privileges and has acquired either q
home, farm or business.
More than 1876, 900 vets have had a
talk with loan officials, signed the
necessary papers and received their
money.
There are plenty of corners con-
nected with floating CT loan. But
$4,000 veterans have done it, and
the Veterans Administration says 1t
wouldn't be surprised If as many
as 10000 900 ex-service people bor-
row money under the CT Bill.
We have up until 10 years after
the end of the war during which
we're eligible for GI loans.
The latest figures could get show
that 1000 veterans are applying for
CT loans every week. If you want
a loan go to any recognized lending
agency, like bank or savings and
loan association or an insurance
company and talk with the loan
Official. What you have to do is
convince him you're good risk.
Tome letters have asked whether
it's necessary for a veteran to make
a down payment on q house if he
uses his CT loan privileges. The
answer Is that sometimes it isn't
necessary. 1t depends largely upon
the outfit from which you get your
loan, the price of the house and
some other odds and ends.
Questions Answered.
Here is a question from H. B..
Scranton, Pa: 81 am a veteran
with an honorable discharge. Is II
true that I can get free hospitaliza-
tion in a Veterans Administration
hospital, even though I have no
seryice-connected disability"
1t is il two conditions are fulfilled
First, you have to sign a statement
that you are financially unable to
defray the expenses of private treat
ment; second, there must be room
for you in the hospital.
From F. s. r., New Orleans
when I was called up for physical
examination recently, in connection
with my pension, I was asked what
my income Is. Can you tell me why
my income should have any bearing
On my pension, which was awarded

me for q service-connected dis
ability?"
1t shouldn't have any bearing at
all. But I'm told the reason you re
asked that question is because the
form used when you're called up for
examination Is the same form used
in adjudicating pension claims of
veterans who are totally and per-
manently disabled from disability
not service-connected. The income
of these totally and permanently
disabled vets does have definite
bearing on their pensions.
That's the answer to your ques-
tion according to the central VA
office.
From M. N, Saginaw, Mich:
whats the maximum amount of
guarantee a veteran can get on
home loan under the CT Bill?"
The Veterans Administration will
guarantee up to $4,000 on a CT home
loan. 1t guarantees so per cent of
the loan but four grand is the top
guarantee.
o From E. G., Oakland, Calf: I'm
planning to return to school under
the CT Bill this fall. Would you
advise me to take vocational coun-
selling offered by the VA?"
I don't see how you can go wrong
if you do. That counseling service
is bit of a good thing and free
Ask your regional VA Office where
you should 60 to take it.
From T. L., Toledo: IT got out
of the Navy on a disability dis
charge. I served only 50 days. Am
I eligible for the readjustment al
lowance?"
If the disability was service-con-
nected, yes, you are eligible. If 1t
wasn't service-connected-if you
were that way before you got into
the service-then you're out of luck
because you didn't serve the re-
quired 80 days.
From w. L. S., Saginaw: when
I got out of the Army I was given
a blue discharge. 7 think I rate
a white, honorable one. Anything
I can do about it?"
You can appeal under section 3o1
Of the CT bill and ask to have
your discharge changed. Veterans
organizations stand ready to help
you prepare your case. So does the
Red Gross. They can give you the
proper forms to fill out.
If you don't want any help write
the Adjutant Generals Office, War
Department, Washington rs, D. c.,
and explain what you want to do.
The form will then be sent to
you. I advise you get help in pre-
pairing your case.

|Acheson Sees Peril
Ito Trade il British
Loan Is Disapproyed
By The Asseeiu.sd Press

Undersecretary of State Acheson
testified today that rejection of the
proposed British loan might lead to
a wholly changed pattern OF world
trade.
Great Britain would be forced
into deals which would arouse re-
sentiment in America If she doesn't
get the planned $3.50 900 900 credit,
Mr.. Acheson also told the Senate
Banking Committee.
-Four or five years might see new
apple orchards in Australia and
Canada, the British taste in tobacco
shifted to empire types and
empire cotton growths improved
and expanded" he said.
Restriction of manufacturers
imports . would foster British
home production of many American
specialties. Plans for expanding
world trade would recede into q
distant and Utopian future"
Not Merely Loan.
| Mr.. AcheSon said the proposed
financial agreement rs not merely a
device by which the United States
lends some money to the British
he continued:
We recognized that We had one
last, clear chance to restore world
trade, to SO restore it that some one
who sold goods in England would
get money which he could then use
in the United States, or any place
else in the world.
I'VE wanted this kind of trade
because We believed it would in
crease production and employment
everywhere.
Our other choice was to take a
narrow view and say, We've done
enough. Let's simply forget about
the British and a system of multi
lateral trade, and 60 out and grab
whatever markets we cam
The result of that attitude would
be that the British would have only
one course open to them.
Taft Would Call Baruch.
ut would be desperate one which
offered no real hope to them or any
one else, for they also would have
to grab markets where they could.
They would have to pull the empire
closer and closer together and ex-
clude us and every other country
from this trade"
Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio
reported, meanwhile, he had sug-
gested that Bernard M. Baruch be
asked to testify. He added. Il I'M
