loans, The terms, however, have
mot been as liberal as the G1
benefits.
FILA. for instance, has re-
quired 7 per cent down pay
ment. compared with the VAS 2
per cent. Mr.. league would let
the down payment range from 2
per cent to Is per cent, de-
pending on the size of the mort
gage. And he would increase the
size of allowable mortgages be-
yond anything the Government
will now guarantee.
At first glance, it might appear
that such a bill quickly would
open the flood gates for a new
tide of home building.
mot at ALL" says one ranking
Government economist. Under
present conditions. passing that
bill would be about as effective
as pushing on a string +"
He explains that this years
record breaking industrial ex-
pansion has drained off money.
materials and manpower that
otherwise would be available to
the home builder. Home build
ing can't get into high gear again
until these shortages ease.
The money shortage prob
ably is the biggest deterrent to
home building now, and Govern
ment guarantees won't solve
that problem.
The reason is that under the
CT bill, the FILA, or Mr.. leagues
latest proposal, the Government
would do no more than guaran-
tee loans. The loans themselves
must come from private institu-
lions.
Banks Prefer Big Loans
Many institutions won't lend
at the interest rates the Govern
ment allows on Federally-guar-
anteed mortgages.
A bank would rather make a
big loan to corporation at 3i2
per cent than a lot of little loans
to individuals at Az per cent
and the big corporations are
standing in line for loans.
At least one Washington man
is among the ex-GIs who have
been disappointed.
He relates how he got his VA
clearance paper and went to a
banker for loan. The banker
turned him down. The interest
rate was too low on such a small
loan.
Indignantly, the veteran de-
manded: IF you won't give me
"a loan, what good is this docu-
ment?"
Said the banker: Roll it into
"a ball. and maybe the cat will
play with it,"
Bankers will not always be
able to be so independent.
Says one authority in this
field:
IF industrial building should
Islacken or if. for any other rea-
son, the tight money situation
should loosen. a bill such as Mr..
leagues could become a power
full thing in promoting home
building.

NAL B gE1lI I3:l:

err Mississippi delta area would be
prime prospects. Thus, insurance
companies would find all policies
being held in areas where risk
ia great.
While attention is focused on
this winters flood damages, ac-
tually Congress will consider
measures that will provide pro-
lection not only from flood loss
es, but also losses sustained from
hurricanes, earthquakes, and 9TH
er disasters. This, it is felt,
would be strong incentive for
uniform premiums through the
nation, as this range of disasters
takes in practically entire nation.
OF course, there will be strong
opposition to government taking
step in this direction.
1t is true such a step would
have been quite radical 20 years
ago or more, as such disasters
were considered as part of the
normal hazard of doing business.
But since that time government
has chosen to strip business of
large share of its profits in the
form of taxes to carry on foreign
giveaway programs and other
glObal schemes. This has taken
the resiliency out of the Ameri.
can business system it once had.
Thus, business today is vulner-
able to many conditions which
once il could survive.

recorded more flood deaths than
any year since 1927; more prop.
erty damage than at any time
since 1887 with losses over billion
dollars.
Need is also focused by work
being done by Small Business Ad-
ministration in making recon
strliction loans available to thou
sands OF small business firms
that would have otherwise perish
ed from these disasters.
SBA was only created about two
years ago due to the work of
many Congressman aided by the
National Federation of Independ-
ent Business.
n
Although SBA was primarily
set up to aid small business in
securing capital, in past year, and
especially this winter, it has prov
ed a life saver by using its emer.
gency disaster powers.
However, SBA can only make
loans for reconstruction and must
be paid back by businessmen suf-
fering disaster through forces of
Nature. Splendid as its work is,
SBA assistance is no substitute
for insurance benefits.
And in this problem of disas
ter insurance cOverage there are
several questions. Should govern
ment write insurance, or encOur
age private insurance companies
by perhaps agreeing to subsidiZe
companies for any losses sustain
ed?
AS is well known, insurance
companies must play averages.
/
At present, if private compan
les were to offer flood insurance
it is not likely much business
would be written in towns high

the other hand, people in the low
