MORTON IN FRANCE.
Going Over Insurance Situation With
French Experts.

Paris, July 11.-Paul Morton. presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, is here going over the French
insurance situation. He conferred to-
day with Ambassador Mccormick.
Forty-five days remain before the new
insurance law goes into operation when
the companies must accept the decision
that French premiums must be invest
ed in approved French securities or
withdraw.
Mr.. Morton has not yet retched de-
ciSlon but indications point to the
withdrawal of the Equitable from the
Held and to similar action on the part
OF Other American companies. thus
bringing up the question whether the
government will require a reserve for
past business even after the American
companies have withdrawn. However
1t is believed that the French compan-
les. which inspired the contest. will be
SATISFIED by withdrawal Of American
competition without the deposit Of q
reserve for past business.
