OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS
OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD

By the Associated Press
Diplomatic exchanges have replaced
the more direct discussions in the
League of Nations on disarmament,
conciliation, reparations, war Cebts and
evacuation of the Rhineland. Chan
celleries and other agencies of the
individual governments are busy with
preparations for the long negotiations
that are to come.
Just before the League of Nations
Assembly adjourned it decreed that a
meeting of the preparatory commission
on disarmament should be called early
next year. Responsibility for selecting
the exact date was placed upon Jonk-
heer DR.. j. Loudon of Holland, president
of the disarmament commission of the
League. DR.. Loudon was told to keep
in touch with the big powers.
British French Pact Criticized.
The British-France naval accord was
effectually slaughtered in British and
French opinion by the refusal of the
United States to consider it. But dead
as the accord itself may be, commenta-
tors in both European countries found
in the American note encouragement
for progress and one small step toward
the ultimate goal.
That step, expressed III guarded Ian
guage, was interpreted by the State
Department at Washington as a con-
cesSion to the French viewpoint that
"global tonnage" should be used as the
foundation for naval limitations. Great
Britain had already adopted this theory
when it negotiated the defunct accord.
Tonnage of all combatant naval units,
rather than limitation of tonnage In
certain classes of ships, was the idea
of the French theory. The classified
limitations were used at the Washing
ton conference. which resulted in the
5-5-3 agreement Of Great Britain, the
United States and Japan.

INSURANCE LOSSES
DURING 1927 HIGH
"a Leading Companies Lost
Volume, Advertising Confer
ence Speaker Says.

Fifty four leading insurance COM
panieS suffered a drop of 1851 900 900
in gross volume of business done last
year as compared to 1926, John H.
Mitchell of Barron G. Collier, Inc, ad-
vertiSers said in an address at the
opening business session of the sixth
annual convention of the Insurance
Advertising Conference in the Hotel
Washington today
In 1926. Mr.. Mitchell said. the COM
panies sold $7,242 100000 worth of in
surance, and last year these companies
did only S6,69l 100000 business. "Only
II of the 54 companies reported in
creases," he added They paid out
roughly. sl,750,0O0,0 1000" Death claims
were S947 100000, while annuities and
matured endoWments were $500 600 900,
Mr. Mitchell stated
Dividends, endowments and annuities
paid out last year amounted to 85 per
cent as much as the death claims the
speaker pointed out.
The speaker emphasized that the ad-
vertising expenditures of a large group
OF insurance companies during the past
year amounted to only eleven-hun-
dredths OF l per cent Of their gross in
comes.
Average Policy Is Low.
Mr.. Mitchell said that he understands
that 62000,000 persons in America are
carrying insurance. adding: If this is
true they have less than $500 per
person" He predicted an Insurance
renaissance" through which every
available means of publicity will be
used in "coloring the popular mind and
creating an attitude of acceptance"
The Insurance Advertising Confer
ence is composed of about 800 adver-
tlslng representatives of the various in
Eur3nce companies.
Merle Thorpe, editor of Nations BuSi-
ness, addressing the group in the Hotel
Washington this afternoon, declared
paternalism. which is the American
brand of socialism" is the great danger
CT American democracy and predicted
That 1t would enter the insurance field,
stating: Because of its position and
because Of the great lack of understand
ing on the part of the people as to the
principles upon which insurance is
established, the spearhead of paternal-
ISM will be leveled at this industry.
Paternalism breeds bureaucracy and
bureaucracy is greater menace than
communism or autocracy."
Condemns State Action.
The growing practice on the part of
States leFyluB special insurance revenue
1or general purposes was condemned by
the speaker.
Efforts to thrust the Government
INTO the insurance business and to en-
act monopolistic State insurance laws
were denounced as phases of the move
ment toward patcrnalism. In conclu-
sion he said:
American business men ccn moat
the competition Of some other rriuata
enterprise, but they cannct successfully
compete with the long purse of the
United States Treasury.
