based on the figure he represented
a severe arrangement of
the entire management ana no re-

Frost liar.
The report of Mr.. Frost is the
first information that members OF |
the League have had as to the fl /

members of the league. coupled as

LIFE INSURANCE PRESIDENTS TO
 HOLD CONVENTION

New York, Nov. 27.-Presidents of life insurance companies in virtually every state of the union and Canada will meet in this city on December 9 and 10 to discuss the necessity for nationwide application of economy and thrift in the home, in business, in industry and in the government, 1t was announced today by the Associa- ton Of Life Insurance Presidents. The conference will form part of the pro- ceedings of the fourteenth annual con- vention of the association. Compan- ieS having in force more than 95 per cent of the 60,000,000 insurance pol icies issued on American lives have signiled an intention to send repre- sentatives to the convention. The convention will mark the seventy-fifth year of American insurance.
 'In giving due attention to the sew enty-fjve-year span which American life insurance has achleyed, says the announcement, "the convention will consider the extent to which that in- stitution has stimulated individual and national thrift in this country, with a view to developing additional means of using it as a savings agency at time when the people must econo- mize in order to successfully meet the readjustments following the war"
 The consideration of taxation and it's relation to national development will occupy a prominent place on the program the effect of present taxes on business generally, and on life in surance in particular, being discussed.
 The association announces that "a1- though chided for indulging in un- paralleled extravagances," the Amer ican people bought in 1919, $8,600,- 100000 of additional life insurance, and that this was 67 per cent more than the amount purchased in 1918, which was itself a record year.
 It stated also that POP American life insurance. companies have return ed to their policyholders during the five to seventy-three years of their operations, a total of $11, 900. These companies now stand obligated to make future payments to policy holders and beneficiaries aggregating more than $38,OO0, 100000. To guar antee these payments as they become due, the insurance companies are OOO, 100000. These figures are given by the association to show that life insurance has had unparalleled de- velopment in the United States" and the statement adds that today there is more family protection outstanding in this country than in all the rest of the world"
 The national convention of insur- ance commissioners vii meet in New York the same week as the life preSl- dents, the date of the commissioner s sessions being December 6, ' and 8. The association of life insurance coun- seI will also meet that week in New York, it's dates being December 7 and 8.
