>FROM THE ASHCAN:
>
>Some years ago, a New Orleans lawyer sought a direct
>Veterans Administration loan for a client. He was told that
>the loan would be approved if he could provide proof of clear
>title to the property offered as collateral. The title for
>the property in question was complicated and he spent a
>considerable amount of time reviewing all pertinent documents
>back to 1803. Satisfied with the depth and expanse of his
>examination, he submitted the information to the VA.
>
> He soon received a reply from the VA.:
>
> "We received your letter today enclosing application for a
>loan for your client, supported by abstract of title. The
>application forms are complete, but you have not cleared the
>title before the year 1803. Therefore, before full review and
>possible approval can a be accorded the application, it will
>be necessary that the title be cleared back before that year."
>
> Annoyed, the lawyer wrote the V.A.:
>
> "Your letter regarding titles in case #9378329 received.
>I note that you wish titles extended further back than I have
>presented. Your attention is invited to the following
>information to update your records for the property prior to
>1803:
>
> a) I was unaware that any educated person would not know
>that the United States gained clear title to Louisiana from
>France in 1803. This title transfer was a result of a real
>estate transaction known as The Louisiana Purchase.
>
> b) France gained clear title to Louisiana by right of
>conquest from Spain under the Treaty of San Ildefonso (1800).
>
> c) The land came into the possession of Spain by right of
>discovery in 1492 by a sailor named Christopher Columbus. He
>was acting on behalf of Isabella, Queen of Spain, and had her
>permission to claim newly discovered lands for Spain.
>
> d) The good Queen, being a pious woman and careful about
>titles - almost as careful as the V.A.- took the precaution
>of securing the blessing of the Pope before authorizing the
>voyage.
>
> e) The Pope is a servant of God; God created the world.
>
> f) Therefore, I believe that it is safe to presume that God
>created title that part of the world called Louisiana and thus
>was the original holder of the property in question.
