Although the Ohio got entirely out

probably in the most serious danger,
escaped with only few pants being

Cmmended today by tie advisory com

tor Cholmeley- Jones and his assist
ants
Work und ertakcn by the bureau
Was declared to be "stupendous" IN
which the greatest difficulty ~ pres
ent was the fact that about 30 per
cent of the addresses of discharged
service men are incorrect, so that the
bureau is unable to communicate with
them regarding the continuance of
their payments and conversion of the
term policies to permanent insurance.
1t was disclosed that approximately
three -fourthsl of the holders of exist
ing policies have not continued their
payments. Policies were written for
about 100000 men.
This vast undertaking" the
Hughes report said, cannot be car
ried out merely through correspond
ence with a central office in Wash
ington. An attempt to do so would
inevitably cause delays and misun-
derstandings and create a widespread
dissatisfaction with an enterprise
which to be successful must COM
mand high degree of confidence.
I'VE are informed that a consid
cradle number of applications for per-
manent insurance have been received.
1t is to be hoped that there will
be a general reinstatement of policies
and acceptances by all of the excep-
tional opportunity of insurance at low
cost which the government has offer
ed. To accomplish this it will be
necessary to be in constant touch with
the insured during the period of in-
