It was he who woke the sleeping depart- ments from their costly dreams and with a touch that was sometimes as rough as it was patriotic drove home the need for reducing expenses. When General Dawes is abrupt or emphatic, or even cries “Hell and Maria” it is only because of his enthusiasm for the work before him. If he ‘can get with six words what the ordinary diplo- mat would seek with six hundred, why should not Europe, which needs helping in a hurry, wel- come his method? Owen D. Young is not as well known as Gen- eral Dawes. He is, however, a typical Ameri- can who started life in a small town in New York in 1874. Like many other Americans he left the farm where he was born and, regardless of financial difficulty, secured an education and graduated as a lawyer. He worked his way to his present position, chairman of the board of the General Electric company, which duty he assumed in 1922 upon the retirement of Charles A. Coffin, former chairman. Mr. Young is also actively engaged in many philanthropic, economic and educational under- takings. He was a member of President Wilson’s second Industrial Conference board, chairman of Secretary Hoover’s committee on bust cles and unemployment and has always been a “reat advorate of arbitration as distinguished from litigation. In addition, he is actively con- <gected with numerous industrial enterprises. Those who know Mr. Young have likened him to Abraham Lincoln in his kindliness toward others and undstanding of their problems. As the father of five children he fully realizes the needs of the wage earner in Europe. With two such typical Americans on the com- mittee of experts, men whose heads cannot be turned by the tinsel of European oR a eat, men who unt and the busin of government and the problems of industry and employment, men who have made a success in their own coun- ‘ try and whose greatest ambition is now to help solve these world problems, it_is going to be hard to hide anything in this Eurqnean tangle from the keen vision of these gentlemen.

According to arguments of some insurance commissioners and others who are advocating limitation of profits, lower acquisition costs, etc, as a means of reducing insurance rates, the only consideration is the premium. For a given sum paid as a premium, the com- panies guarantee indemnity to assured, and in order to fulfill this engagement they are obliged to expend a goodly te jon of their receipts for general purposes collateral to the contract, but having a most important relation thereto. There is probably no business in the United States that is subject to so much investigation by public authority as that of insurance. Every detail of operation is a matter of record and is open to the scrutiny of the people’s represen- tatives. It is fallacy to conclude that the premium dol- lar does no more for the assured than to guar- antee a return of fifty or sixty per cent of its face through the payment of losses, and that the difference represents profit or extravagant expenses. No system of insurance is safo unless based on adequate and stable premium. charges. Ilu- strating expense collateral to an insurance con- tract, the cost of inspections and innumerable items attaching to that indispensable feature There is a large public benefit derived from | those inspections in that the economic safety of the community is protected threby, not merely ithe owners of insured property. The records of every company show the specific disbursements for these tollateral benefits and the value to the assured and the public easily exceeds the percentage of the premiums alleged to be “wast- ed” in this manner. The best and only way to lower the preminm rates for fire insurance is to have less fire jloss. The wisest course for supervisory officials jis to co-operate with the underwriters in reduc- |ing the fire loss and rates regardless of in- creases in the expense ratio. It is better for all concerned to expend eighty per cent of the pre- mium for expenses, if in so doing the fire loss is réduced. -- Strikes a Snag One thing the author of the Bok plan failed to explain is how the United States could take part in all the deliberations of the league council and embly and yet not be a member of the league. et that is what his precious plan calls for.
