From the Philippines we went to Sydney. Australia. to visit several homes built for Dutch settlers in Sydney. The building of these homes is the result of a $3 million loan from the Development Loan Fund to the Netherlands Government at 4 percent. (Our Government is paying 5 percent.) These homes were supposed to be refugee homes. and we expected to find something similar to our lowrental housing units in the United States. but instead we found twoand threebedroom brick homes with tile roofs and concrete runways. all with carports. These homes are being sold to Dutch settlers by cooperatives and Australian banks for 20 percent down and 27 years to pay at 5 percent. This loan does not meet the eligibility standards set up for the Development Loan Fund. requiring that loans from Development Loan Fund should be made to underdeveloped countries.
