Life lnsurance--an
The Little Fellow

THE i'll considered attack on American life insurance
made in report by two staff members of the SEC
to the temporary national economic committee is
cearcut example of the unsuitabiy of government by
kibitzers.
The charge that the loanabe funds of these great
popular savings institutions only available for big
business" recalls the anecdote about the man who
murdered both his parents and then appealed the
court Tor enlency the ground that he orphan
The point is that the management of life insurance
companies not free agents in investing polcyholders
funds but must proceed in accordance with the precise
provisions of state law.
Accordingly it comes with ill grace for bureaucrats
OF the federal government to hold up responsible nsur
anee executives to ridcue and contempt FOR FAITH
BILE IN THE STATES IN WHICH THEY OPERATE.
But while the state laws determining the eligibility
OF bond investments in the nature of things tend
the larger and successful units of business rather
than unried and experimental venturers the law DOES
permit these institutional lenders to minister to the needs
of the little fellows in their LOANS TO POIICYHOLD-
Frs and in their MORTGAGE LOANS TO SMALL
HOME-OWNERS.
n GORGE L. HARRISON, who recently retired as
NJ president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York to become president of the New York Life Insur-
Company, his first annual report gives an eec-
tive answer to this phase of the criticism of
practices by the SEC staff members
Without abiding to the federal report, Mr.. Harri-
son reveals:
Most of the corporations whose bonds are owned
by the company are relatively large because many
small borrowers do not and cannot issue bonds which
are eligible or practicable as investments for life in
surance company.
An examination OF the mortgage loan PORTFOLIO
which includes loans business residential and
properties, shows that at the end of 1910 the
pany had its books 81 TAI first mortgage loans on
real estate which, less reserves, amounted about
$420,OOO,OOO
about 81 per cent of these mortgage loans, that
Is 1856. for less than $4,000 each and aggre-
gated $117,0O0OOO.
About 60 per cent of the total number of such
loans that is 1898, were for LESS THAN $1,000
EACH and aggregated $6O,000,0O0."
IN wartorn world of rapid change, American life in
i surance has stood the test.
While private promoters and public wndbags were
falling down their glib promises to the people, the
great institution of life insurance has its commit
ments.
1t provides voluntarily secured economic security
TO HALF THE POPULATION
1t embodies the bulk of the savings of the people,
and it is symbol of the stake of the people generally
in sound dollar and in prudent handling of federal
fiscal policy.
Life insurance is capable of orderly change and i'm
provement, but the public should be guard against
Incorporate proposals by superficial bureaucrats.

LIE HAD Unsuitable curiosity

cross-examine all corners about
their personal histories, going
into the most intimate details.
No one ever resented his ques-
tons because he seemed so genu-
inely interested. He struck us as
d singularly plain and simple
man. Enormously rich. he made
no show of wealth. His clothes
were almost shabby. probably
because he did not bother about
them. We liked his tremendous
sense Of the responsibility Of his
papers to the public. He told US
that the first duty of news

people in time of stress.

He was through the other war.
you know. A fine man. and a
kind man. he wanted no more
human suffering. We can imagine
his feelings today, knowing his
fiber, though he stands before
the world as one of the rocks of
the empire. When gentle souls
like Beaverbrook can be reused
as fierce warriors, we do not see
how they can be overcome.

Hat Styles
Made Public
Property
Free Hand Given Those
Who Can Copy Designs
BY EDWIN C. HILL

EVEN if they don't blow away
- in a March wind. those So
called hats which the women
wear are now right smack in
the public domain. They aren't
patented, although some of them
may look like the dream Of a
somewhat erratic garnet in
ventor and. therefore, says the
United States court, you're
breaking the Sherman law and
the constables will get you IL
you try to keep anybody else
from copying them.
1t is hard to think OF even
a Supreme Court decision COW
ering the infinite diversity, the
battling conformity and nom
conformity, the willful and
mischievous anarchy of women's
hats of 1941. and, taking a Sec
ond look. the decision doesn't
really face the issue. 1t merely
says, Let nature take its
course" What else could it do?
The Fashion Originators'
Guild of America and the Mil
linery Creators Guild under
took, through the cooperation
of their constituent membership
of $4,000 retailers, to end style
bootlegging by cooperative ac-
ton against those who copied
their designs in dresses and
hats. That's just what Mr..
Justice Black. rendering the ma
jority opinion for the Supreme
Court, says is just no dice.
CTYLES are wide open for
~ copying. If you can do ii.
The decision might possibly be
based on the idea that the man
who can copy these styles must
be good. and deserves free

only in France, but over here.

Day nears.

of Winters ago by its owner.
Lord Beaverbrook of England, in

pleasure he had found anywhere

1t was the first automobile he
ever owned that he drove him.
self, because he had never before
learned to drive. Whenever we
see Lord Beaverbrook's name in
print, which is frequently now
adays, we think of him gingerly
guiding the little coupe through
the traffic of Miami and Miami
Beach and grimacing at his diff
ficulty in making it come to a
halt at red lights. He was al
ways pulling the wrong gadget.

minister of aircraft production.
and accounted largely RESPONSE
BILE for stepping up the output Of
planes there to make the Raj
one of the most formidable fight
ing forces in history. Now 1t is
said Lord Beaverbrook's amaz-
ing energy may be utilized in
another field by making him
minister of shipping.
1t is not easy to think of him
as one of the fiercest OF the war
makers in view of his natural
gentleness and consideration for
his fellow-man. And we are sure
that he shrank from the very
thought of his country going to
war. He had a full realization
of the consequences. Yet in all
England no man has risen to the
emergency with greater genius
and fortitude than Beaverbrook.

Florida climate beneficial and
went no farther. He hired
suite of rooms in the Tower
Hotel on Miami Beach overlook
ing the ocean and held forth
there for months. keeping in
daily touch with his two news
papers in London by telephone.
He made occasional trips TO
Nassau in his plane, then
bought the coupe and put the
plane aside. He loved to make
the rounds of the night clubs
of the Dade County area. though
his special fancies were the
Royal Palm and Bouche's. the
latter ruin by an old-time cafe
man from Chicago. who seemed
to appeal to Beaverbrook. 1t is
our impression that he liked the
night life more because it gave
him an opportunity to meet peo-
pie and ask them questions than
anything else. He did not
drink. or smoke. though once in

TO The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
THE Times editorial entitled
l. UNDESIRABLE ALIENS
was great and timely.
1t is known very well that
Princess Hohenloe came to the
United States to spread Nazi-
Hungarian propaganda to divide
and break down our nation.
She was and still is very well
provided with money to hire
lawyer to help her.
Her lawyers not only prevent
her from deportation but keep
her free to be able to spread her
diabolical work.
At present, every parasite
lunatic from any totalitarian
country has the right to say and
do anything in our democracy,
but a good, loyal American citi-
zen must keep his mouth shut.
Before it is too late, the
American people should ask our
government to build concentra-
ton camps for the undesirable
aliens.
