PRESIDENT WILL
SHUN EQUITABLE
Insurance Company Outside
the Federal Law.
COULD NOT INVESTIGATE IT
Two Plans by Which Concern Might
Be Brought Under Probe of
National Government.
COULD NOT INVESTIGATE IT

II Is not believed that the efforts on
the part of William Nelson Cromwell
the New York lawyer who recently en-
tered into the Equitable Life Assurance
Society troubles in the role OF peace
maker. and Clarence Whit presi-
dent Of the Merchants Ass~e.ation OF
New York. to have President Roosevelt
take a hand IN the settlement OF the
badly entangled affairs of the Equitable
will meet with success.
Several steps will have to be taken
before the Equitable can be brought
within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government, if this can be done at all,
and the movement toward this end will
have TO come from the policy holders or
officials of the Equitable.
The only way IN which President
Roosevelt could take part IN the Equit-
able row Is through the bureau of cor
porations of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. But this bureau has
no authority over corporations that are
not engaged In interstate commerce, and
the supreme Court of the United States
has decided that an insurance company
does not engage in interstate commerce,
and that, therefore, il is amenable only
to State laws and not the Federal laws
Views of Mr.. Garfield.
Commissioner OF Corporations Garfield
brought this point out forcibly In dis
cussing the Equitable situation. He
said an investigation of the affairs OF
the insurance companies had been 60
ing on under the direction Of his bureau
for some time. but that all the informa-
ton his agents procured was that which
was voluntarily offered by the insur-
ance companies.
Two plans are contemplated by those
who are desirous OF bringing the EQ4it-
able under the Jurisdiction OF the Fed
eral Government. One of these is To
make a test case in the courts of New
York, and, when Ii is decided, appeal
II TO the Supreme Court of the United
States in the hope that that tribunal
Will reverse its former decision and de-
clare that insurance companies do en-
gage in interstate commerce. The other
plan Is TO get bill through Congress al
the coming session. making insurance
companies doing business in the United
States amenable 10 the Federal laws
Not until something is done along
| those lines will the President interfere
in the affairs of the Equitable.
