Business

AS counsel for a New York state

Charles Evans Hughes made a
name for himself in 1906 uncovering
what he thought to be irregularities.
The chief Hughes fear: That in
surance company resources were so
large as to make conservative, re-
sponsible management increasingly
difficult. The Hughes remedy: Fed
eral supervision of insurance invest
mentS.
Since 1905 Mr.. Hughes has risen
to the U. S. Supreme court and may
have changed his mind. At least

nothing has been done about it and
the vast insurance fund has quad
rupled. Whereas Mr.. Hughes sug-
gested limiting new policies to
$3.50, 900, 900 a year per company,
some now write $4,000, 000,0 900 year.
Today there are $4,000, 100000
worth of policies in effect and in
surance investments cover a sur
prisingly wide field. Samples: Gov

cages and corporation securities,

bonds, $1,000, 100000.
II this business was worth inves-
tigating % years ago it is even
more vulnerable today. Just start
ed in Washington is 12-month probe
by the temporary national economic
committee, headed by Wyoming's
Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney and bet
ter known as the monopoly in
vestigating committee" Ginning in
is William o. Douglas Securities
and Exchange commission. PERTH
nent question marks include ()
what influence insurance invest
ments exert on U. S. money mar
kets, banks, railroads, etc.; (2) how
insurance executives are chosen;
(3) possibility of interlocking direc-
torates between insurance firms and
utilities.
Though the monopoly committee
has often reiterated that it is not
hunting witches, and although Mr..
Douglas maintains he only wants to
bring the Hughes report up to date,
there is a good chance of new legis-
lation providing federal regulation
over all interstate insurance bust
ness. This would supplement state
supervision now in effect.
Adding to their discomfort is the
demand by Montana's Sen. Burton
K. Wheeler that insurance COM
panies take a greater hand in help
ing reorganize U. S. railroads. The
Wheeler charge: That present in
Surance company negotiations with
carriers feature repeated conces-
sions to investment bankers at the
expense of bondholders. But if rail
aid presents as many obstacles as
insurance men claim, the probable
solution of this problem will not be
a federal whipping post for insur-
ance companies but revision in the
railroad reorganization statute.
