To THE EDITOR OF HKRALD:-
In tho report OF the Judiciary Committee OF the
House OF Representatives published in your paper OF
this date, It recommended that alter paying all
primary losses arising under the Geneva award there
will vet remain a surplus Of 81 500 600, which
proposes to divide, pro rata among the
panies "who have paid for vessels and merchandise
destroyed by such cruisers on the high seas
Now. this recommendation Of tho COMMITTEES
IS justified in their report by the asser-
tiOn ''that. had the cruisers Ia question
destroyed tho particular vessels insured such COM
panies would have had the amount they paid TO the in
sured therefor In their treasures" OF course they
