LIFE INSURANCE
AIDS LISTED
BY LOOMS
investments Safeguarded by
Strict Rules and Builds
Fortune on InstaIImentS
By FRANK F. LOOMS

The following is what life in
surance company represents from
the standpoint Of financial sta
bility:
An investment trust composed
OF liquid assets diversified as to
kind and locality with triple A.
rating.
They have the most stringent
legal safeguards and State super
vision.
Examined Regularly
They are examined regularly by
48 different States.
Their officers are highly trained
with years of experience.
There is no individual invest.
ment of funds.
Investments are diversified and
spread throughout the nation.
No local financial calamity af
fects them.
They are not engaged in the
business of buying and selling
securities for profit.
Their investments enjoy an un.
interrupted income.
On account of their size they
never have to sacrifice securities
in times of stringent money.
They do not extend credit OF
finance business enterprises.
Old Line Requirements
American life insurance com
panies, organized under the old
line legal reserve plan, are com
PEELED by law to invest only in
the following:
First mortgages, not exceeding
so per cent of property value.
Collateral loans backed by the
best collateral.
First mortgage bonds of the
highest type.
Preferred stock of limited
amount and the highest type.
Loans to policyholders backed
by cash values of policies.
Their interest earnings are i'm
mediately reinvested. Both prin.
cipal and interest are working
continually and earning interest.
Fortune In InStalIments
Life insurance is in reality "a
fortune bought by inStallments, u
but in an actual and literal way
it stands alone among such things
bought on the installment plan
and unique among all goods OF
services.
1t is always increasing in value
is always at par. is never out, of
style of superseded by some.
thing BETTER" and is not subject
to repossession, and if the pur.
chaser dies before all installments
are paid, the entire property
passes to his beneficiaries.
General business conditions
seem to have little effect-in a
broad way-on life insurance
sales. Life insurance volume
grows in good times and in bad
times. It is a form of installment
buying you can recommend with
out reservation.

FOREIGN TRADE
WAR FACED
BY j. 8.
Russia Held Most Formidable
Competitor, With England
and Germany Pushing Hard
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURG

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURG
With the gradual return of
world purchasing power there is
certain to develop a more inten-
sive battle by commercial nations
Of the world for control of world
export markets than ever before,
it was indicated today.
On the eve of the annual meet
ing of the World Trade Council
Ia New York, officials said plans
Of this country for the conquest
Of foreign markets as an outlet
Cor surplus American goods would
begin to take form at the confer
once.
Russia Most Formidable
Undoubtedly, officials said, the
United States, which has made
phenomenal strides in foreign
trade since the war, would be
faced with more severe competi-
Sion than ever before, because the
foreign competitors, Soviet Rus
Sia, England, France, Germany
and others are in an excellent po-
sition to produce on a large scale,
while all are devoting scientific
method and thought to CONNER
eial expansion.
Russia, apparently, is the most
formidable potential competitor,
with cheap labor, government
airected industry and sales expan-
zion effort, a wealth of raw ma
terialS, well equipped with Ameri-
can machinery making possible
mass production, and a deter
aaination to deliver its wares to
pvery market of the world.
% Germany and England
" Germany, likewise, is in a posi-
lion to vastly increase its foreign
trade, the handicap of lack of
raw materials being greatly off
set by mechanical ingenuity and
large production capacity. Eng
land is another formidable rival,
with its great dominions in every
climate as a source of supplies
end a market for exports.
;. Great Britain, with it's peerless
commercial and advertising am
basSador, the Prince of Wales, is
letting no grass grow under its
feet in paving the way for trade
expansion with the inevitable
opening up of world markets.
Strong efforts will be put forth
by all commercial nations to in
crease their foothold in Latin
America and the Far East, where
there is a great field for expan-
sion.
u. S. Has Advantages
4" The United States has advan-
tageS in the commercial fight,
however, with it's mass produc-
tion, perfection Of product and
capacity for making large foreign
loans which are certain to result
IN expanded trade.

yetary of Commerce, will speak
OF the New York conference.

BANK D|SAVOWS
PAY GUT PACT

There seems to be a wide pub
lie misunderstanding in regard to
the attitude of bankers toward
the wage problem, states the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York in the current issue of The
Guaranty Survey. 1t explains:
"The charge is frequently
made that powerful banking
interests are seeking to force a
general reduction in wages
and, furthermore, that bankers
are cooperating to the point
of conspiracy to bring about
such readjuStments. These
statements, or the broad infer
enceS drawn from them, are
not correct.
THE fact that a few indi-
viduaI bankers have expressed
their personal opinions on the
wage question, which, as citi-
ZenS and business men, they
have q perfect right to do, does
not commit bankers as a whole
or as class to any position on
the problem.
Bankers differ in their at
titude toward the wage problem
as toward other economic prob
lens, and the attempt to gen.
eralize regarding banking posi-
tiOn on this question is not
warranted. The imputatiOn
from either political or labor
sources that bankers have con-
ferred or combined or con-
spired in any group manner on
this question is not true"

1t is difficult to find any def.
mite basis for forecasting the
nearby day-to-day movement of
stock prices. The probability,
however, seems to be an irregular
sagging market.
The experience last week again
proves that whenever the market
tries to hold it's head up, some.
thing strikes it. There is still suf.
ficientO liquidation on rallies to
prevent any sustained recovery
and business can be counted on to
encourage more selling than buy.
ing.
Trend Downward
Last week the averages lost be-
tween three and four points. Utili.
ties were off about five points,
representative manufacturing com
panies dropped nearly five points
and the rails fell back about one
point.
Clearly sentiment is persistently
beariSh. There was no indica.
ton of the slightest buoyancy
during the little two-day recovery
last week. The considerable
number of new lows made each
day suggests that the underlying
trend is still downward.
The same may be said of the
steady reduction in brokers' loans,
accompanied last week by a de-
cline in non-brokers' loans on Sc
curitieS. Not only we're grain and
cotton weak last week, but cop
per became definitely established
at new low of 834 cents.
ScOffs Rail Rate Plea
The steel and railway indus
tries seem to be caught between
the upper mill stone OF low prices
and the lower mill stone of costs.
This is what Mr.. Farrell'S out
bursts tells us. Even if the Gov
ernment does not enforce the
Antitrust law. however, doubt
if the steel people can prevent
further declines in prices.
AS to the railways, doubt if
the rail leaders want or expect to
get an advance in rates. They
badly need better earnings but
they know that traffic is not go,
ing to be increased by raising the
rates.
All this irritation in the steel
industry and demand for higher
rates by rail chiefs, probably
mean that the final readjust-
ments are coming to a head.
