Conversion rates for war risk insurance
became known last week and according to
officials of the bureau of war risk insurance
average 80 per cent lower than rates for
similar policies in private companies. They
are based upon the American experience table

ured on monthly basis but because the gov
eminent pays all expenses Of administration,
net rate less than demanded by commercial
policies is possible. Rates for converted poll
cies are at age attained and no credit can be
made for premiums paid for war risk insur
ance. Premiums paid annually are slightly
less than when paid monthly.
