VITAL ISSUES

| THE ANNUAL statement or lire
i insurance company Is received
with indifference as a mysterious
affair by most policyholders and
agents.
But the agent who learns to un-
dersfand and interpret his COM
panys annual statement can give
II a significance that will be a val
liable aid in selling.
The annual statement OF your
company is filed shortly after the
close OF each calendar year with
the insurance department OF each
state in which the company OPP
crates. II is an elaborate docu-
ment on forms prescribed by in
surance departments. A brief
summary OF the principal features
Is printed In compact form by the
company and distributed 10 policy
holders and for the sales organi-
zation.
IL is unnecessary 10 discuss many
features OF the statement such as
the gain and loss exhibit. the sched-
ule OF investments. business writ

amount of Insurance in force and
income and expenditures. How
ever. II is advisable that you should
become familiar with your COM
pany's statement Of assets and liza
bilities because they give picture
az your company's condition.
The items under the head OF
Assets" are a list OF all the prop
erty owned by the company and It's

year Gross" assets include all
the assets OF the company But

or control OF the company.
The items under the head OF

amounts for which the company is

OBLIGATIONS. The total OF "liahill-
ties is the same as the total "as-

the amount shown.
This items of surplus" is per-
haps the most significant item in
the whole statement. 1t represents
the margin OF safety over the legal
liabilities. Large assets usually
mean nothing more than large LA
bilities. The strength OF company
depends not so much on the amount
OF It's assets, nor upon the amount
OF it's surplus. hut principally up
on the ratio Of the surplus to the
surplus 10 the admitted assets.
In a stock company the capital is
the same as surplus. from the
standpoint OF safety. so far as pol
icyholders are concerned There

order to determine the margin OF
safety from the standpoint OF the

Government Chiefs
Consider Leasinq
British Air Bases

The conferees were Jackson; Act

Welles: Secretary of War Henry L..
Stimson: Gen. George c. Marshall,
chief of staff; Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox: Admiral Harold r.,
Stark, chief of naval operations;
and Green Hackworth, State De-
partment legal advisor.
Jackson refused to amplify his
statement or explain what naval
and air bases were discussed dur
ing the conversation. Likewise. he
failed to clarity the status of the
negotiations with Great Britain.
Jackson's terse announcement did
not specifically say that the matter
of acquiring bases was limited to
British bases. This led to conjecture
as to whether western hemisphere
points other than those held by
Great Britain and Canada might be
involved in the discussions.
There have been rumors that the
United States might negotiate for
naval or air bases at Curacao, a
Dutch Caribbean island which is on
the southern passage to the Panama
Canal and is a great oil refining
center.

Such spread is wise move"
Robert S. Gross, president of

No Appeasenlent

In Campaign Talk

America never will stoop to a
policy of appeasement", Senator
Hiram w. Johnson declared in a
broadcast from Washington last
night, opening his opening his ac-
tive campaign for reelection.
This nation. he said will so
thoroughly arm and defend itself
that under the providence of God
we will never be subject to despot
or dictator"
Washington, said the veteran iso-
lationist, is the most jittery
place" in the United States.
I'VE are not going to lose our
country" he said. I'VE are not
going to be whipped by any tota-
litarian power on earth. We are
not going to adopt any policy of
appeasement.
we have been preparing our
nation for some months now. We
have given such amounts, running
into billions. that strain our fl
nanceS to the utmost. We will
prepare ourselves as never before
we have been prepared, SO that we
shall be so strong no rowing despot,
no totalitarian government will
dare to attack u.s."
War overshadows all domestic
issues. johnson said, but before the
current campaign is over I'VE shall
have to take account of domestic
issues and determine their effect
upon our country"
Johnson again voiced his politi-
cal independence when he declared:
Il have never responded to the
orders of any man. and I never
will. And so I say to the people of
California, as once before I said,
if you want the kind of senator
who glories in his groveling to any
one and rides into power upon the
coat tails of another, and who will
be listening in fear and trembling
for the commands of any man,
however exalted he may be, you
