LEGION NEWS
Insurance Inviting"
<<<<<k<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<kk<S

Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
announced today that misleading and
incorrect statements relative to the
permanency of Government Insur-
ance are being circulated by individ-
uals apparently engaged in attempt
ed twisting" of insurance. A spe-
cific and typical report received by
the Director was to the effect that
some of these individuals had boarded
a naval vessel at Philadelphia and
had told sailors that Government In
surance would not be good after five
years.
Government Life Insurance for
veterans of the great war is a per-
manent proposition" said Director
Cholmeley-Jones. misleading state
ments have been made to the effect
that Government Insurance will cease
at the end of five years after the
war, or that it will be turned over to
private companies. Such statements
are absolutely false and without
foundation. There is, however, a re-
quirement that the temporary term
insurance held during the war which
increased in cost from year to year,
be changed or converted into one of
the six permanent forms of Govern
ment Life Insurance, (ordinary life,
2O-payment life, 20-year endowment,
or endowment at age 62) within five
years after the formal declaration of
peace by proclamation of the Presi-
dent, if the insured desires to con-
tinue to be protected. This perma-
nent insurance does not increase in
premium cost as the insured grows
older.
Improper conduct by the individ-
uals / have referred to is in direct
opposition to the attitude of the
great life insurance companies,
which is embraced in a statement by
the secretary of one of the large
companies, who recently said:
"Of course, life insurance COM
pany can not grant insurance at less
than cost, but the Government offers
insurance to soldiers and sailors at
less than it would cost the Govern
ment to grant that insurance Chat
