The answer Of the directors OF the
Equitable LIFE Assurance society IL
the chargas brought against them b.
the state of New York win probably
be summed up by the average man in
about the following terms.
we confess that some of us NAV
have been knaves, that some of MS
were certainly fools. and that all of
US may have been fools. viii the
state please cure our folly and reform
our knavery?"
Such q summary Of the Equitabla's
answer would be, of course. rough
hewn and, in many cases, unjustifiably
severe Any fair minded critic mus
admit that such summary would be
untrue and unjust as to this Equitable

all points II may not fully apply 10 The
