Taft Emphasizes
Progress Role Of
Life Insurance
Cites Resources and
Their Port in Indus
And Employment

Investment resources of the life
insurance industry are vital tC
American progress and industrial
development, Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio told the Philadelph. a
Life Underwriters at a luncheon
meeting in Philadelphia today IN
commemoration of the 5Oth ami
versary of the founding Of the Ma
tional Association of Life Under
writer's.
I'VE hear a good deal today about
investment by the Government,
Senator Taft said. Investment by
private individuals, directly or
through life insurance. is the Ame.-
ican way of developing industry and
employment. Once the Govern
ment sets in on any industry, it is
likely to be there for good, with the
deadening effect of bureaucracy
regulation and political control In
vestment through life insurance
makes our industrial progress free
and independent
Paying particular tribute to the
men who sell life insurance, Sena-
tor Taft remarked:
Life insurance provides the best
means of extending a private form
OF social security. No Government
handout will ever provide an ade-
quate provision for old age. A sys-
tenn in which men voluntarily pro-
vide for their old age and theil
families is the American ideal. You
have helped 64,OOO,OOO free Ameri-
cans to attain this ideal by giving
them convenient method of saw
Ing and an incentive to work In
order to save. You are the front
line defenders against those who
would substitute dependence for in
dependence, slavish service for self
reliance. Theirs is philosophy of
bondage. which if made universal
and substituted for past American.
methods, may result finally in the
complete loss of liberty"
The Senator assailed the thought
OF Government taking over all life
insurance as destructive of the
character of the people.
Senator Taft's address was repro
duced by transcription played at
a luncheon of Washington under
writer's at the Willard Hotel.
