LIBERAL POLICY
FOR DEPENDENTS
WAR RISK INSURANCE.

Washington. A more liberal
policy in determining whether pa
rents or others only part depen-
dent for support on soldiers are
entitled to government family al
lowances to supplement the SOL
diers' allotment of pay has been
adopted by the war risk insurance
bureau under the supervision OF
the new director, Colonel Henry
D. Lindsey.
. Under the former management
the war risk bureau notified thou
sands of parents and other rela-
tives of soldiers that after investi-
cation it had been found that they
were not dependent on the soldier
and that consequently the govern
ment's allowance, as distinguished
from the soldiers pay allotment,
would be cut off.
Policy Too Drastic.
In many cases restitution of
payments already made was asked.
This policy is considered too dras-
tic by Colonel Lindsey, who indi-
Gated Monday that investigations
hereafter would be limited mainly
to actual fraud cases and that al
lowances had been wrongfully cut
off they would be restored and
back payments probably made.
This is not to be taken as a blan-
ket policy covering all cases, how
ever, as the decision in each case
must depend on individual circum-
stances.
Make Payments Monthly.
Payment of life insurance to
the beneficiaries of men who have
been killed or died in the service
does not depend in any way on de-
tendency, it was explained. Life
insurance payments will be made
in monthly instalments soon after
certification by the war depart
ment of the death of the soldier
or sailor, regardless of whether the
persons to whom the insurance is
payable was dependent on the man
in service.
There is no law nor regulation
to prevent a soldiers beneficiary
receiving both government com.
pensation, given automatically for
the death of a soldier, and also
payments under the voluntary Wife
insurance policies which most sol
diers have taken out, it was stated

s. In order to meet the competi.

tries, it seems apparent that our wheat
of the 1919 crop, for export, must be
paid for here at the guaranteed price
and perhaps sold in competition at
a price considerably below the guar

price below the guaranteed price there
would be difficulty in holding our own
people to a price for flour based on
the guaranteed price of wheat, even
