The Real Basis Of Credit

In a recent address, I. Alfred
Fleming, supervisor OF the con-
serva+ion department of The Nat
ioat' Board of Fire Underwriters,
said:
First insurance is the backing
of business. 1t protects the IN
vestment, the purchaser, the EN-.
ploya, as well as the credit stand
ing. 1t also makes possible the
establishment of homes. The last
census report stated that there
were mortgages aggregatlng
eleven billion one million dollars
outstanding on owned homes and
farms in the United States, and
that the value of the properties
covered was S31, 000,000,000
The point to bear in mind is
that had it not been for fire insur-
ance to protect these homes and
farms, it would have been i'm
possible to borrow this huge sum,
since mortgages are not risking
their money on property that may
be destroyed overnight, unless
their investment is properly safe
guarded"
The Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1927-1930, 1927-07-14

as any figure acceptable to Great
Britain and Japan.
1t is difficult for any nation TO
come out openly Tor radical re-
auctions unless it is measurably
sure of favorable reactions. But
leadership demands constructive
proposals. The Geneva confer
ence, however. is not for the pur-
pose Of reducing ornaments, but
to fix maximum limits Of auXlli-
airy craft to be built by the three
nations involved.
We are yet enough Of war torn
world to safely predict tLat what
ever maximum is agreed upon
each power will extend it's forces
to the fixed limit, which, OF course
is the only arguments against fix
ing limits. But if there were no
limiting agreements the general
opinion is that nations would run
wild in their efforts to Guido 9TH
ers. What the world needs as
we'll as limitation Of ornaments
is limitation Of international sus-
picion and desire for unearned
power. This will not come at
Geneva. 1t will be born in the
hearts of babes and instilled into
the hearts Of men. But confer
ences help reflect friendly att
tudes, and are incidents in the
process of making the world safe
for peace.

Honey Moons On Payments!

1t is reported that a Boston
tourist agency has installed de-
partment to advance funds to
honeymooners, who may pay back
in easy payments" the money
spent on their trip. Obviously,
the plan is to make money. In
cidentally, will it increse the
number of marriages? To some
extent it may; but love finds it's
way anyhow. If the husbands
in Clintwood were to less up"
Wen make a friendly wager that
few of them had much ready cash
when they started on that long,
trail of matrimony.
That the lack of funds delays
some marriages there is no doubt.
But might not instalment plan
make matters worse? The I'M
thinking nuptials because the
money is advanced and comes ca
silly, and also because the honey
moon time is a time when think
ing about economy is not on the
program might go on a longer
trip and spend more money than
their station in life would war
rant. Then when the furniture
and the vacuum sweeper, the new
car and the baby carriage have
to be paid for, there are those
BLAMED honeymoon instalments"
still staring them in the face.
