NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The Ma
tional Professional Football League
asks itself couple of questions to-
morrow and proceeds to answer them
at once.
Presenting a three-game schedule
for the start of the third week of its
season, the play-for-pay loop will
show the folks % what's cooking
in DR.. John Balm SutherlandAs
Brooklyn pot, and (2) are the Cleve-
land Rams doing 1t with mirrors?
The Rams, who wound up a year
ago in the western sectional cellar,
are off by themselves in the baby
race SO far with two outings and
two victories.
Packers Still Tough.
But those wins have been against
the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chi
cago Cardinals, who don't figure to
make any other outfit lose its appe-
tite on any given afternoon. This
time the Rams run up against the
Green Bay Packers at Milwaukee -
and Curly Lambeau's lambs strictly
are black sheep on any gridiron.
At the same time, Brooklyn's
Dodgers. who threw scare into the
champion Chicago Bears in an ex-
hibition last week before a last
second Merriwell touchdown tour by
George McAfee saved the Bear
skins, show the folks what they have
by taking on Detroit's improved
Lions at Ebbets Field in their regu-
lar schedule opener.
Dodgers Highly Rated.
And if all you hear from the good
doctors headquarters is true, Jock
has enough assistance for Ace Par
ker this fall to give the New York
Giants and the Washington Red
skins quite a rassle for the eastern
section crown.
In the other game on tomorrow,s
card, the Philadelphia Eagles and
the Steelers get together at Pitts
burgh for the first game Of what
figures to be filed away In the So
what department. Neither the
Eagles nor the Steelers showed any
improvement to write home about

TURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1841
Evening star., 1941-03-18

Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana
urged that the United States send
food to all subjected peoples" of
Europe under an arrangement as
suring that no help would be given
| Germany.
British authorities have turned
down a plan submitted by former
President Hoover for food relief in
Belgium, contending that feeding of
the peoples in occupied territories
is Germany's responsibility and that
any relaxation of the blockade to
permit outside aid would aid Ger
many indirectly and prolong the war.
On the Senate floor, Senator
Johnson declared that the. Govern
ment should study all possible meth
ods of shipping food abroad to
100000 Europeans who he said
were doomed to starvation unless
they receive American aid.
The British blockade, he declared,
is losing friends for Britain every
day it operates" He suggested the
American and British government
cooperate to provide prompt as
SiStance.
Senator Wheeler told reporters he
favored Senator Johnson's idea and
added:
Keeping food from the Nor
wegians, the Danes, the French and
other subjugated peoples is going to
do more to complete Hitler's domi-
nation of Europe than anything

other grains were badly needed, in
dicating that he hoped the cargo
list could be expanded in the future.
The ships would sail under Red
Cross auspices, he explained He
added that he was expecting British
approval of the arrangement Ito
come at any time"
The Ambassador first discussed the
prospective arrangement with re-
porterS yesterday after a conference
with President Roosevelt at the
White House. From what I heard
from the President I expect some
kind of relief to start soon," he said.
Il am very glad to find the President
so understanding about our needs
and thankful to him."
Milk Already Sent.
Two shiploads of milk, children's
clothing and medicine already have
been sent to unoccupied France by
the Red Cross under an agreement
reached with the British last De-
cember. British blockade authori-
ties refused permission for 300 tons
of oatmeal to be added to the last
shipment, which left Jersey City
yesterday.
Approval of the arrangement now
under consideration was expected
to ease the tension demonstrated in
recent statement by Admiral Jean
Darlan, French Vice Premier, that
conveys might be used unless sufn-
cient food was permitted through
the blockade.
The problem of food relief for
unoccupied France is being viewed
in the light of a general Anglo
American policy of doing everything
stood the test of sandstorms and
practicable to "stiffen the backbone"
of the French government in resist
ing pressure for closer cooperation
with Germany, it was learned.

and, in making these investments, the Com
pany has helped to provide the people with
electric, gas, water, communication and
other services.
Large and Small Loans.-Most of the
corporations whose bonds are owned by
the Company are relatively large because
so many small borrowers do not or cannot
issue bonds which are eligible or practi-
cable as investments for life insurance
company. This Company, however, makes
many mortgage loans and policy loans.
Most Of the policy loans are for small
amounts. Mortgage loans are made in both
small and large amounts. An examination
of the Mortgage Loan Portfolio, which in
cludes loans on business, residential and farm
properties, shows that at the end of 1910 the
Company had on its books 3I,74I first mort
gage loans on real estate, which, less reserves,
amounted to about s42o, 100000. About 81
per cent Of these mortgage loans, that is
1856, were for less than $4,000 each and
aggregated over sI17,ooo,ooo. About 20
per cent of the total number of such loans,
and aggregated over $6o,ooo,o 900. About
$7o,ooo,ooo of the Company's real estate
loans were FHA-insured mortgage loans.
Stoeks-The Insurance Law of the State
of New York does not permit life insurance
companies to invest in common stocks. As a
result they cannot legally provide equity or
partnership capital, either for big business or
for small business. However, they are per-
mitted to invest in preferred and guaranteed
stocks which measure up to certain legal
requirements. This Company's holdings of
such stocks, which provide additional funds
for industry, amount to about s9o,ooo,ooo.
All things considered, it is apparent that
the assets of the New York Life Insurance
Company are at work not merely to produce
return but also to do their part in advanc-
ing both economic and social progress.

effect of this upon our national economy is
great, for, as the volume of such investments
and loans has increased, the public service
performed by them has likewise increased.
Even a brief examination of the loans and
investments of the New York Life Insurance
Company will, we believe, demonstrate that
it has employed its funds both with view to
safety and in the public interest.
Loans and Investments at Work
Gor,nment Bonds.-This Company's in
vestments in bonds aggregate 1897 100000.
Of this amount, approximately sSoo,ooo,ooo
are United States Government bonds, either
direct or fully guaranteed. During the past
year the Company increased its holdings in
this classification of investment by about
100000, 900. United States Government
bonds are generally regarded as the prime
investment security of the world. Their
safety is beyond question. More than that,
the Government at the present time is
making huge expenditures in the interests
of national defense. From the point of view
of the public interest as well as the safety of
its policyholders, the Company's policy is
to continue, in the present circumstances, to
invest in Government securities.
Other Bonds.-The Company 'sinvestments
in State, county and municipal bonds, which
are likewise regarded as prime investments,
and which amount to over $2s o,ooo, 900, also
play great part in our national economy as
well as our social advancement. They pro-

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
96h Annual Statement to it's Policyholders
management of life insurance

~HE management of life insurance
10 company has primary responsi-
bility to its policyholders to invest
the funds of the company and to conduct its
affairs so that the company will be able
promptly to meet all its contractual obliga-
tions to policyholders and benehciaries when
they fall due. The discharge of that
responsibility carries with it great oppor-
tunity for service to the public at large.
Because of the complexities of the present
economic situation growing out of the critical
period through which the world is passing,
this service to the public has now become of
great importance in the economic and social
structure Of the country. Your management
is acutely aware of its responsibility to its
policyholders. So also, it recognizes that
much public benefit will necessarily follow
from its performance of that responsibility.
Nearly one-half of the people of the
United States own life insurance. From
the savings of these people, who live on
the farms and in the villages and the cities,
come the premium payments which account
insurance companies. These funds eventu-
ally go back from those companies to the
policyholders and benehciaries as payments
in accordance with the terms of their policy
contracts. Before such payments are due,
however, the funds become available for en-
ployment in the economic life of the people as
a whole in the form of investments or loans.
Such investments or loans are useful to those
individuals, corporations and governments
who need funds to build homes, to carry on
business, or to meet budgetary and capital
requirements.
The life insurance companies in turn con-
slider the probable income from these invest
ments and loans when they calculate their
premiums. Earnings are an important factor
in building up the funds out of which future
obligations to policyholders and bene6ciaries
are met. They are also substantial factor
in reducing the total cost Of insurance to the
policyholder.

Payments to Policyholders and BeneHciaries

Payments to Policyholders and BeneHciaries
During the year 1e4o, the New York Life
Insurance Company paid to pollcyholders
and their benehciaries total OF s7o4,394,345.
Of this sum s135,oIs ,o66 was paid to living
policyholders and S69,37o,279 to benehei-
aries. During the past ten years, the CON-
pany's payments to policyholders and bene-
hciaries have exceeded $2,18o,ooo,ooo
New insurance during the year 1910
amounted to $4a5,97o5oo. There were
o1o,S9o new policy contracts made during
the year and the average size of new policies
was 5000. Although the volume of new
business was slightly less than the previous
year, nevertheless there was a substantial
reduction in the aggregate volume of ter
limitations, particularly lapses and sur
renders. On December 81, I94o the Com
pany had 2,925,775 insurance policies in
force for total of s6,S9s,1S2,749, which
represented an increase Of s3,s4I in the
number of policies and $64,347,9s3 in
amount as compared with the end of the
previous year.
Assets and Liabilities
The total value of all bonds, which were
valued in accordance with the law, was sub
stantially below the total market value as Of
December 81, I94o. The aggregate amount
of the Company's real estate mortgage loans
Ms written down by $26,ooo,ooo to the
estimated value as of the end of the year,
Furthermore, the total real estate owned
by the Company was also marked down
in 1910 and is carried at the estimated
market value. Total admitted assets amount
to S2,669,735, ,2o5, an increase of SIo7,4s6,7a
over the previous year.
In the liabilities, by far the largest item.
$2,322,67I,554, is the Insurance and Annuity
Reserve computed by the Superintendent a
Insurance of the State OF New York. This
reserve is the amount which the Company
must hold in good assets so that together
with future premiums and interest, it may
be able to meet future policy obligations as
they become due based on assumptions as
to future rates of claim, interest and expense.
The sum of $3S,747,49o is set aside in the
liabilities for dividends payable to policy
holders in 1o41. In addition to Voluntary
Investment Reserve of $so,ooo,ooo, the
Company had, at the end of the year, a
surplus, reserved for general contingencies,
amounting to sI27,o73,6o3.
The present high standing of the Com
pany, its conservative financial and actuarial
standards, and the character of tho organiza-
ton both in the Home Office and the Field
should be a source of great satisfaction to
every policyholder.

pany, as we'll as list of the bonds and the
