GOVT. CONCERNED
ABOUT INSURANCE


Officials Of the War Risk Insurance
Bureau viii go to st Louis to attend
the conference Of veterans Of the
European war, to be held with a view
to forming a national organization
and will urge the veterans to keep
up their Government life insurance.
The attention Of the War Risk In-
surance Bureau officials has been
directed TO the fact that a heavy per-
centage Of the soldiers are either not
keeping up their insurance or are
planning to drop 1t.
Various reasons are given for
this. In many cases the reason is
financial After paying allotments
plus premiums on their insurance,
soldiers found they had little left for
spending money. Others took the in
sursnce simply for the temporary
protection. of relatives during the
war.
Still another reason is that the
conversion rates, though
lower than those OF private COM
panies, are not as low as competent
insurance men say they ought to be,
especially in view Of the fact the
Government policies do not contain
privileges as liberal as those OF the
private companies.
But, whatever the reasons; Uncle
Sam is becoming concerned about his
life insurance clientage, and so will
endeavor to give the business boost
At the ST Louis gathering.
