ECKER, President Metropol:tan Life Insurance Co., as told to J. V. Pitz Gerald. It is natural that various agencies are seeking a practical plan to provide If methods relief bordering on the dole, our experiences of the last two years will have been not without benefit. One method actively discussed is unemployment insurance, an important question often over- looked. is this, Is unemployment risk insurable? Even if it is granted unemployment insurance may be desirable from a social and economic view point, the question of its insurability is just as important. bility is not a test of its practicability. The desirability of a form of insura- If it is not practicable we must look to measures other than insurance for satisfactory protection. One factor not always fully comprehended by advocates of insurance as a remedy for unemploy- ment is that, in any insurance project, benefits paid out on a loss can have their source only in & fund accumulated beforc the loss by collections from the individuals insured and, or, from others While insurance collects and distributes funds, it eannot create them. ‘The probability of the occurrence must be pre- dictable within reasonable limits before insurance can be successfully applied as protection ags any given contingency.
