insurance industry opened its an

day with a declaration by William
Allen White that nothing helps
as much as life insurance in democ-
racy's prime aim, the pursuit Of
happiness.
"One of our most fatal blunders
in discussing democracy is to assume
that it is something having chiefly
to do with government, the En-
poria, Kans., newspaper editor said
in an address prepared for lunch
con of insurance executives.
I'VE confuse democracy with
- free speech, free conscience,
free press, the writ of habeas cor
pus, the right of trial by jury.
These things are the machinery O.
democracy which are established tt
aid men in what? In the pursuit
of happiness. believe ont
of the fundamentals of human hap
piness is a sense of security
What other institution goes SO
far in the pursuit of happiness as
this work of our hands, this tower
of security which we call life in
surance? ="
Poverty and freedom are easily
divorced. Prosperity and freedom
dwell together The widely diff.
fused prosperity that comes out Of
American life insurance is the ce.
ment in our foundations of free.

Via Banks Raises.
Big Problem
Cut in Expenditures
Declared Only Way
To Avoid Trouble
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23-The chief
defect of financing deficits via the
commercial banks Is now beginning
to reveal itself, S. L. Miller, writ
ing in the Quarterly Review and
Business Forecast number of the
Annalist explains.
Maintenance of an easy-money
policy in order to sell Government
securities more easily has meant
the building up of excess bank re-
serves. Whenever some economic
force appeared on the scene over
which the Federal authorities had
no control and that force worked
for higher interest rates, the au-
thorities found themselves in the
position of having to support the
bond market and almost always to
build up more excess reserves.
Hitherto the Treasury and Fed
eral Reserve people were fortunate
enough to have a business situation
which was not sufficiently expansive
to demand particularly large
amounts of bank credit. This time
they are not in such position
The business situation may easily
develop into one of the greatest
booms in history.
Business demands for bank credit
will in such case be so great that
the Government bond market will
inevitably suffer. And the Federal
authorities will be faced with the
alternative of further supporting
their market (and so building up
additional excess reserves) or letting
1t collapse with unpleasant conse-
quences to the banks.
Evidently the monetary authori-
ties are now in a spot. They are in
the unenviable position where they
can easily start or at least promote
a vicious circle of imitation. The use
OF only part of the s5,40O,OO0,OOO of
excess reserves of the member banks
would be sufficient to bring about a
sharp expansion in deposits and a
sharp rise in commodity prices.
There appears to be only one
way out of the current dilemma
Support of the Treasury bond mar
ket can be accomplished by a cur
tailment of public works. relief
and other so-called emergency ex-
pendltures to the point where a
budgetary surplus can be utilized for
the purpose of buying bonds in the
open market.
Such support has the advantage
OF reducing excess reserves and SO
acting as brake on the expansion
OF bank credit at the same time
that the decline in Treasury issues
is softened or actually reversed
Not only will curtailment of 'emer-
gency' expenditures be relatively
easy matter during conditions of a
business boom. but also a consider
able expansion in Federal receipts
is likely

Those were about the most I'M

You can have yoke Of some kind
or a halter.
And for the skirt YOU
can have long radiating
