Government Insurance Business

WITHIN less than five months the United
w States government has issued slightly
more than $4,000 900 300 in insurance to
the soldiers and sailors Of the American army
ard navy Approximately 100000 policy
holders have been enrolled and the end is
not yet. Such figures these almost take
ones breath, and have given more than Il
shock to the old-ine companies, which have
been compelled for generations to mpor:uno
the reluctant man or woman to purchase tuat
financial security which can only bc obtained
through life insurance.
Fortunately, the government is rot in com
petition with the private insurance corpora
tions. Tie risks which it has assumed are
risks which the insurance companies have re-
jcctrc from i.me immemorial. 1t has beer
regarded as suicidal for any private !nsurin:,
institution II insure soldiers or sailors III
time OF war, al most policy contrasts writ
ten in time of peace carry clauses which
vitiatc the obligation if the holder enters the
armed forces Of Inc country.
But the government assumes these risks
in lieu of possible pension in case of injury
or death, and obviously the policy which pro-
vidcs wartime insurance for the men in the
fighting forces OF the country is one of the
sanest which this or any other government
has adopted in this or any other war. The
guarantee is given TO the man in the ranks
that his family is amply provided for. if he
he killed, or his future is safeguarded ii he
he inca pacitatcd for normal labor. All this
is arranged at small cost to the Insured
that he can scarcely miss the premium
exactcd. Moreover the premiums taken
from the pay OF the insured which relieves
him of the bookkeeping involved or the risk
Of failure TO keep a policy in effect.
On the other hand the government is re-
lieyed OF tho enormous pension outlay which
would otherwise tax the country for genera
tons after the war. The Treasury Depart
ment has paid out since the War Between the
States more money in pensions than the war
cost in dollars and cents while it was in
progress. More than that. pensions are still
being paid. not only 10 veterans but to the
widows. and not only to widows OF the War
Between the States. but actually To widows
OF the Mexican War.
Even so. il is too soon to pronounce the
government insurance scheme complete
financial success. This cannot be determined
until the war has ended and the accounts are
ba lanccd. II the confic; continues for two or
three more years and if the casualties are
heavy. the payments which will be necessary
may create an enormous deficit in the treas
ury of the War Insurance bureau Such
deficit would have to he made up by current
appropriations.
