LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY

The financial power of the life in
surance industry is felt, directly or
indirectly, by every citizen and every
business.
Between January l and July Is of
this year 20 of the largest life compa-
MES, representing shout 80 per cent
of the life insurance in force in this
country, invested $879,OOO,OOO in
securities, including farm mortgages,
andpublic utility, railroad and govern
ment bonds. Total for all insurance
companies would undoubtedly bring
the investment to well in excess OF
a billion dollars. The results are
found in industrial expansion, main
tenance of wage scales, home-build-
ing and similar activities. In bad
times as in good the life insurance
industry is bulwark of commerce e.
All of this is beside the main work
of the industry, that of providing
security for our dependents and our
selves, and a safe investment for
persons of both large and small
means. It is the perfectly democrat
ic business, in that its benefits ac-
crue equally to all, and its base rates
are the same whether we buy a
thousand dollar policy or a million
dollar one. Few industries are as
important to the security of the
nation as insurance.

1t is interesting to note that of all
the plans that have been suggested
to aid the farmer, only one has been
given anything like unanimous APP
proval by experts, the farm coopera-
tive.
Cooperation, both in producing
and marketing, must be the dominant
factor in any program designed to
restore prosperity to agriculture. It
is sound in economic principle, fact
that has been proven by American
manufacturing industries, as well as
by the long-established farm coopera-
tives, and it produces definite results.
It cannot be too often pointed out
that the individual farmer, when he
goes to sell his products, is at an
unacceptable disadvantage. He must
take what is offered or fail to sell.
But when he bands together with
ten or fifty or hundred thousand
other farmers, the shoe is on the
other foot. He has become ''bie
business" himself, and he can bar.
gain and make fair terms.

Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada,
believes that the abandonment of
the gold standard of coinage by
Great Britain may lead to solution
of the world silver problem.
England's move will probably re-
suit in a silver conference among
the worlds great nations, with the
purpose Of staiblizing the price of
the metal at normal level.
Many economic authorities are Of
the opinoin that the present world
depression was largely brought about
by the decline in buying power of such
countries as China, India, Mexico,
ETC., which have the silver standard.
When the value of silver went down,
their purchasing power dropped &C.
cordingly. Sterilization of silver
would bring this buying power back,
and, from national standpoint,
mean an industrial revival in our
mining states.

it will be devoted to a worthy

THE "sWOPE PLAN"

No non-political happening of the
year has excited such general interest
as the publication Of the plan for
stabilizing businessb y Gerard Swope,
President of the :, General Electric
Company.
The principal purpose of the plan
is to give security to workers. But
it should likewise reassure stock
holders and set at rest many Of the
fears produced by unemployment,
overproduction of commodities of all
kinds and industrial depression.
Fundamentally, the plan is simple.
Under it every concern in the nation
having more than so employees would
become a unit in a trade association
within its own industry for balancing
production and consumption, and
insuring employment or compen-
sation for unemployment. These
associations, while under the super
vision of a government commission,
would, so far as possible, act as
voluntary organizations.
Under this arrangement workers
could transfer from one company to
another without fearing loss of their
unemployment or pension benefits
under the fund set up for the entire
industry. Employers and employees
would make equal contributions to
this fund, to the amount of one per
cent of the workers wage. Ofgreat
importance, this would eliminate the
so-called ''forty year deadline,",
which now often makes it impos-
sible for workers over that age to
obtain employment in any company
which maiatains pension fund.
The very fact that an executive
within one of our most important
businesses, the electric manufactur-
ers, has suggested this plan, should
give the nation assurance that in
dustry is not only fighting the pre-
sent economic chaos, but is frankly
recognizing the obligation it owns to
its workers, stockholders and to the
public which buys its products.
