ASKS ANTITRUST
REPEAL TO help
OCEAN INSURANCE
Report Proposes Removal
OF Bars That Hinder
Marine Growth.

The repeal of existing antitrust
laws in various States to legalize
cooperative efforts through syndi-
cate arrangements of the marine
insurance business patterned after
the recently formed American Ma
rine Insurance Syndicates, is pro-
posed in a report to be made public
today by the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
The report is the work of s. S.
Huebner. expert in insurance. 1t
bears out the bill introduced in the
House by George w. Edmonds, of
Philadelphia, fixing a odel marine
insurance law for the District of
Columbia.
Far-reaching reforms in State
laws on marine insurance to sup
plement principles laid down in the
Green-Jones shipping act are pro-
posed in the report. They would
provide for the enlarging of the
classes of insurance which Amcri-
can Marine companies NAV write:
the authorization OF reinsurance
which American companies may
write, irrespective of State boun-
dairy lines, which meet a reasonable
standard of sclvency, and the re-
moval of existing barriers, espe-
cially with respect to the treatment
of deposits in foreign countries, to
the entry of our companies into
foreign fields.
The proposed bill involves these
five fundamental ideas: Greater
freedom on the part of American
companies to cooperate through
syndicates and mergers; establish
ment of the multi-feld insurance
principle, sot that American fire,
marine, and fire-marine companies
may enlarge the kinds of insurance
that may be written, other than life
insurance; substitution of a system
of net profits taxation in place Of
the present system of taxing gross
premiums; enlargement of reinsur-
ance facilities; and removal of lin
itations on the financial powers of
companies which now hamper op-
erations in foreign fields.

Until disarmament becomes uni

that which elevated this country tc
its present high position among the
other nations Of the woridscS- de-
clared Senator Miles Poidexter. OF

Admiral George Dewey memorial
anniversary services held by the
Admiral George Dewey Camp of the
United Spanish War Veterans, in
Central High School last night.
mo country more desifes friendly
relations with all other countries
than the United States, but it is
folly for the United States to as
sumo that the heart of the world
will be changed by a mere peace
pact" continued Senator PoindeX-
ter.
Fears for Ships.
"If one country should disarm and
the others remain armed. the un-
armed country would immediately
become subject to the will and CO.
ercion of the armed countries. Uni
versal Limitation of armament or
even total disarmament is practi-
cal. but We must be on the look out
so that some mistaken policy does
not slip through and put the United
States in the power of some other
country.
The cause of the Spanish Amer
ican war came upon America sud
lnnlV Arnarinn had hAA-
pared at that time the history of
this country would have been far
different from what il is To-Day. Un-
til this disarmament becomes uni
versal this country must retain
those things which made possible
the great victory of Admiral Dewey
and the other great military and
naval leaders who have, through
their victories, placed the United
States among the world leaders.
There is considerable agitation
regarding universal peace by means
of a peace pact, but thus far no
one has been able to explain how
this pact is going to purge the
hearts of men of the passion to
despoil.
Duty to Uphold Laws.
This country must continue TO
uphold the laws of the land, as
there cannot be any liberty IL indi-
viduals or classes of people are per-
mitted to dictate the settlement of
disputes. The voice Of the majority
of the people Is still as necessary
to the upholding of American ira
ditions as it ever was, and it re-
mains for every true American to
uphold the laws and to see that
they are upheld by others"
