Well, these two questions are ans- wered when we consider that a vet- eran is entitled to only one monetary benofit at a time under the GI Bill. (But guaranteed loans are not con- sidered as monetary benefits. So ex-service borrowers under the GI Bill loan plan would also qualify for | GI Bill unemployment pay. | Then another ex-Gi comes along |with this: “Would a veteran who 'had gone into farming and was |earning less than $100 a month be |able to collect a readjustment al- |lowance ((as a self-employed per- {son) of the difference between his {net earnings and $100? How?

Two ex-service men up in New {York ask questions about V. A. guaranteed loans for homes. One points out that there’s a limitation | on mortgages in New York of 66 per cent of the property value and he’s trying to figure out how he can get a $4,000 house to live in when he hasn't a dime in his pocket— only a job which he's starting on. He can arrange this by getting in touch with Federal Housing Admin- istration. In that way, maybe he could get hold of 80 per cent of the money on an FHA loan plan, and {then he could borrow the other 20 Oh, yes they can. The V.

He wants to know if he can borrow money under the GI Bill to build small nection with his real estate busi- ness. He can't do it. The V. A. guarantees 50 percent of loans for houses, only if the veteran plans to live in the house. It must be his home. But the inquiring veteran, if he wants to build houses, can ap- ply for a 50 percent guaranteed loan for building equipment—like cement mixers, building tools, scaffolding, trucks and other construction items of equipment. ed as a business loan. resenting International President D. | | A.
