Attitude of the Companies
Toward War Insurance Bill
Explained by George E. Ide

George e. Ide, chairman of the in
surance committee appointed by the
Secretary of the Treasury, has made
the following statement Of the insur-
ance companies attitude in regard to
the war insurance bill:
From time to time editorial COM
ments and statements by persons inter-
ested in the war insurance bill now
before Congress have shown that the
public at large is misinformed as to the
attitude taken by life insurance people
In regard to this measure.
The Secretary of the Treasury some
time ago appointed a committee of in
surance men to consider the so-called
war risk insurance bill. This commit
tee and a committee OF actuaries, which
was also appointed by the Secretary OF
the Treasury. gave much time and at
tention to the proposed measure and
were requested by the Treasury Do
partment to consider all their delibera-
lions and conclusions as strictly conn.,
Dental. For that reason their views in
regard to the matter could not be made
public until the bill was introduced in
Congress.

Position Of the Advocates,

THE advocates of the bill have al
lowed the impression to prevail that
this insurance committee Is opposed to
the bill because 1t savors of govern
mental insurance and consequently Is
opposed to the interests Of private in
surance companies. Our committee has
not taken this position. but has con-
sidered the bill In a spirit of fair
minded patriotism.
ITO those who arc not familiar with
the measure it might be well to state
that article offers a plan Of optional
life insurance to the soldiers and SAIL
ors in addition to very liberal allow
ancss and compensations. which are
granted gratuitously to the dependents
Of enlisted mon and of1cers who suffer
partial disability. total disability or
death.
"Our committee has taken the posi-
ton from the start that 1t IL strongly
In favor of the bill; that 1t believes 1t
to be q wise measure. as supplanting
our present pension system: that It
must be broad In its scope and liberal
in its terms. 90 that our soldiers and
hind them the good will Of the nation
and that their dsDsndsats In any svsat

originally written the maximum al
lowed any soldier. sailor or officer in
either branch would be $4,000, at the
rate of So a thousand a year. which is
about one-sixth the rate offered by in
surance companies Representative
Parker of New Jersey made a fight
against this section and cut the maxi
mum to $4,000.
This is separate and distinct from the
COMPENSATION features. The compen-
sations are paid automatically when
the death or disability renders it neces-
sary. The insurance is simply an added
protection and comfort designed by the
adm inistration for the appropriation
of the families of men at war.
