awsrd now expected to be paid over by England eight
or zen weeks hence. As TO the claims OF insurance COM
papes the Secretary has been advised and Is under
stood that several members OF the Cabinet hod mat
sucb claims should not be recognized, but that such
portion OF the entire award as they "ouiu pe enueu
