A HAIL INSURANCE
FIGURES REPORTED

uAIL damage done to Montana crops
H was more severe this year than
in any recent year, according to a
partial report made by the Montana
hail insurance department. The pre-
liminary statement issued for 1928
shows that there was an increase of
141 in the number Of farmers Insured
this year Over 1922. Also 5000 more
acres of grain were covered by insur-
ance."
Gas in other years the grain most
widely insured was wheat" the report
shows and continuing:
"Only Once (191S) since the depart
ment began operation, has such a high
percentage of loss claims been filed.
In 1918 the number Of loss claims filed
was 43 per cent Of the number carry
ing insurance while the past season
was 40.
1.-THE following table gives the most
important facts regarding the 1923
business compared with 1922:
A tabuiatiOn Of the business done by
the department during 1922 and 1923
shows that although the loss was
greater In the latter year the cost to
the insured was less. In 1922 the num-
Der Of farms insured was 1921 with
a risk Of $1,45S, 144.00, from which pre-
miums amounting to $197,1A.OO were
collected. Three hundred seventy-six
claims for loss were filed, constituting
thirty per cent of the insured. In 1929
the number of farms insured was
1,4I2 with a risk of $1,116,245.M from
which $111,459.O0 was collected In

The shadow of the House of F1eis-
chbacker still falls athwart the flu
ture of the American Merchant Ma
rine.
With headquarters in San Francis
co. the House of Fleischacker reaches
into London, into Paris, into New
York. The Fleischackers are inter
national bankers.
The power of the house of Fleis-
chhacker is felt in politics, shipping,
the lumber and paper pulp indus
tries of the great Northwest, the
water-power combine of the Pacific
Slope.
Two companies form the pillars
Of the great international banking
structure. One, the Anglo and Lon
don-Paris National bank, has Herbert
Fleischhacker as its president and
his brother, Mortimer Flesichhacker
as it's vice-president. The other, the
Anglo-C California Trust Company, ha;

ident and Herbert as it's vice-presi.

Of these companies is an imposing

Works to Aid Bankers
It was the House of F1eischhacke
which Lasker chose to head the hug
corporation that was to control tn
American Merchant Marine, on tn

under way, Lasker proposed the sub
sidy plan under which the F1eisch-
hackers were to play a tremendous
and dominating part in the merchant
marine plans.
Following this came the singular
deal for the sale of the wooden ship
fleet, which has already been narrat
ed in The Dearborn Independent col
umns.
Now we come to another queer
turn Of events.
During the shipbuilding days the
Emergency Fleet Corporation bought
100 acres of land adjoining the Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Company's plant
at Alameda, California. The Ship
ping Board paid 81, O35, 900 for this
land, and, according to exhaustive
testimony given by Shipping Board
officials, and shown by many ap-
p~raisals of this land by San Fran
cisco real estate experts, all of which
were submitted before the Walsh
committee, the land was well worth
the money. Then the Emergency
!, Fleet Corporation spent some $0,O00,-
900 dredging, filling, setting fine
foundations and making this Liberty
: plant, so-called, a fine manufacturing
5 site.
1t is an ideal plant in which tt

Liberty which cost the governmer
more than ~$6,OOO,OOO, the unimproN

A Continued Story
By a WashnngtOnian, in The Dearborn Odich) independently

EDITORS NOTE-In his forward, the editor of the Dear
born independent says: What arc we going TO do about our
merchant marine? The infamous subsidy measure was killed
and it's revival must not be permitted But influences just as
sinister as those which have gone before are at work today to
turn over the American fleet to interests whose motives are
purely selfish. This, too, must not be permitted. The Dear
born Independent, from time to time, in issues soon to appear,
will disclose, for the benefit of the people and the peoples rep
resentatives in congress, facts which speak for themselves. 1t
is to be hoped that these facts viii be sufficiently awakening
for congress to institute an inquiry designed to search out and
make known ALL the truth about the operations of the United
States Shipping Board"
If Just one hef of the amazing charges are true-and there
is no reason to believe that they are not ALL true-the people
should rise up in righteous indignation and demand of their rep
resentatives in congress, both senators and members of the lower
house, that a thorough investigation of this matter be made; the
blame, if any, placed where it r~ightfully belongs; the guilty ones
punished through due process of law, and measures taken to
prevent a recurrence of such nationally disgraceful tactics In
this, a supposedly Christian, if not an entirely Gentle. nation.

Pacific Coast and sweep all compe-
tition aside.
1t was Herbert Fleischhacker who
Lasker brought on for conferences
with President Harding relative to
the Lasker scheme to turn over to
the Fleischhackers the ships, the sup
plies and the opportunities of this
government in the Pacific trade. But,
among others, the Portland, Oregon,
Chamber of Commerce gave scant en-
enlargement to the scheme and much
publicity caused it to be temporar-
lily abandoned.
It was the House of FIeischhacker
which Lasker put forward as the
great motivating power he had chos-
en- to propel the Merchant Marine
on the Pacific Coast if the subsidy
bill went through Congress. This
was the group which was to reap OF
most of the benefits under the pro-
posed subsidy So Ear as the Pacific
was concerned.
"Of course, unless we want to go
on the basis of Soviet Russia, 1t is
impossible to have shipping with
out bankers and international bank
ers," Lasker openly declared before
the joint Senate-House committee
during the subsidy hearings, in de-
