This is an indication that conâ€" ditions are improving and that the average policyholder is realizing more and more that his life insurance is his ‘ greatest asset. is now, and it would not be practicable \to attempt to insure lives on this basis. Policies presented in iforce and guarâ€" anteed by the companies are based on ’the assumption that a fair rate of inâ€" terest will be earned.

I think probably it is time to say that while the life London, Ont., January 15.â€"In reâ€" viewing the record of life insurance in Canada during the past year, Mr. G. Wilson Geddes, President of the Canaâ€" dian Life Insurance Officers Associaâ€" tion and General Manager and Actuary of the Northern Life Assurance Comâ€" pany, pointed out that no,single subject was of such material interest to so many people as that of life insurance. in which more than oneâ€"third of the men and women of the country had their savings so safely invested. "On the whole, conditions improved throughout the country during the past year and a number of municipalities and industrial corporations have been taken out of default, and less is being heard of threatened repudiations. The decided recession in business which deâ€" veloped in the United States last sumâ€" mer, fortunately has had little effect on Canadian business, so far. The newsâ€" print indiustry seems to be the only one to feel the effect directly, and. of course, the security market has reacted in line with the New York market,. The reâ€" cession in newsprint and security values presents another problem for life inâ€" surance companies, but, of course, A comparatively minor one.

Behind this protection stands, as at| December 31, 1937, over $2,000,000,000 | of assets, owned by the policyholders | and invested for them in Dominion, Provincial and Municipal securities, in‘ first mortgages on carefully selected city, town and farm properties, in pubâ€" lic utility bonds, in school debentures, etc. In this way the savings of more | than 3,500,000 thrifty citizens have seryâ€" | ed the nation‘s best interests by financâ€" | ing many a worthy public and private enterprise, and by thus stimulatimng emâ€" | ployment in the years of economic deâ€" i pression. | "Every working day /throughout 1937" said Mr. Geddes, "halfâ€"aâ€"million dolâ€" lars was disbursed in cash by the life insurance companies of Canada to their policyholders, most of them men and women of modest means who had thus thriftily provided for the proverbial rainy day. In fact, this daily circulaâ€" tion last year of the accumulated savâ€" ings of our citizens in life insurance far exceeded the direct relief payments of all agencies throughout the Dominion. "In their trustee relationship to policyholders and beneficiaries, the greatest problem confronting life inâ€" surance executives," declared Mr. Geddes, "is the handling of investment matters.

Real estate however, was so depressed in value, because Of the high taxes assessed againt such property, that mortgage loaning wWas necessarily Oof a proportionately low amount in each case.

We all agree that where the debtor‘s burden has beâ€" come too heavy, something must be done for him, but why should not the whole citizenship of Canada share in this relief, rather than a particular group of the most thrifty and hardâ€" working individuals. In this one inâ€" stance, at least, the United States legisâ€" lation would seem ito be conceived in a fairer spirit and wih more farâ€"reaching vision. "In Great Britain and the United States debtors, whan and where necesâ€" sary, have been relieved at the expense of the general taxpayer, tiut in Canada legislative relief for the debtor has genâ€" erally taken the form of forcing parâ€" ticular classes of creditors to extend that relief. Among these creditors the life insurance companies, with their mortgages invested all over the Dominâ€" ion, carry a greater part of the burden. This tendency, of course, is very marked in the Province of Alberta, but the legislation of nearly every Province. as well as that of the Dominion, shows a insurance tblusiness is based on scientific foundations, and is probably the safest business in the world under natural, fair and honest conditions, it does have an Achilles‘® heel. )eeéen largeiy ins.runH iew employment du ericd.
