The extent to which life insurance
funds have backed up the transporta-
ton industry Is surely not matter
for regret. American railroads are the
backbone Of American industrial prog
ress. Had the stream of life insurance
investments been detected in another
direction. had the companies invested
more largely in mortgage loans. which
1t might have been to their advantage
to do IL they had been smaller and less
centralized institutions. our railroad
development would not have been what
1t Is today and the name of the Great

still on the map. Railroads might al
most be described as the byproducts
Of old line life insurance.-Thomas
