Slight Decrease
In Policies Sold

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-TtepOTts to
the 18th annual convention OF the
IAssociation OF Life Insurance Pres
'idents here today were said to indi-
cute that the new insurance Issued
IN the United States in 1891 will
amount to 900 separate poll
.cies for $S.5S 900, 900. This VIII
mark a decrease OF three-quarters
OF one per cent. IN the number OF
policies compared with last year.
the most prosperous in life !nsur-
,auce history. The amount Of new
Insurance thus woI;G be IL per cent
less than that OF last year and &c
per cent ahead OF that or 1919.
Statistics we're presented hv
John NJ. HolcOmbe, president Of the
Phoenix Mutual Life lNSuranc"
company. OF Hartford. Conn. who
said that the 1921 record in Eaw
life insurance marks progress rath.
er than retrogrossiOn, and is all on
'CouraEinE index O! returning nor
mai business conditions.
Returns have been furnisheF b.
lis of The 272 life insurance com.
panies doing business in the Uni.
lied States" said Mr.. HolCombe.
These 148 companies wrote 81 per
iCent of the new business Of 1920.
Their 1921 returns are based on
the actual amount o! new business
paid for up to November ist OF this
year. plus an estimate fer the re-
naming two months. In 1920, the
number Of new policies issued WAS
1 .24S.000, insur!ng s10,l05.o 100000.
Twenty years ago, in 1901.
American life Insurance companies
wrote 5000. 100000 Of new insllr-
lance. a decade later. In 1911, the
amount Of new Insurance was So
$780, 00 900. an increase OF a little
more than one.third. In 1921, there
fore, the issue will be almost three
times that Of 1911, In the years
1919 and 1920, the issues were much
greater than ever before. Money
was plentiful and the results Of the
war and the epidemic Of Influenza
had impressed upon the people the
need of life insurance. In 1921,
however, the business has been az
feCted by trade conditions. strikes,
loss OF employment and general re-
Lrenchmcnt. Notwithstanding this,
the amount Of life insurance this
year will exceed that OF any sin
gle ye.r. with the exception OF
1920.
Up to 1919, new life insurance
each year. on the average, ill.,
creased about 10 per cent. This
covered a period Of about 20 years.
One year the increase was as high
as Is per cent. Another year It
was as low as four per cent. Then.
in 1919, came the unparalleled in.
crease OF 60 per cent. over the new
business OF 1918. Therefore, that
the aggregate amount OF new life
insurance in 1921 is less than that
issued in 1920. ia cause neither for
surprise nor disappointment. III
moral potentially. considering thu
conditions under which the 1921
new insurance was bought by the
American people, the results mark
progress rather than rctrogression. :
