TIFE INSURANCE thrives only where men
II are free to plan their own futures.
About 7Oet of all the worlds life insurance
is owned today in the United States, where
life insurance is truly servant of the people.
HAs protection for its citizens, the laws of
each state require that its insurance-super-
vising officials shall examine into the hnan-
cial condition and business methods of life
insurance companies of that state. These
examinations are conducted at periodic in
tervals, usually at least once every three
years.
The supervising officials also have the au-
thority to examine any company dong bus'-
ness in the state, at any other time that the
interests of policyholders require it. They
are officers of the State Government and
are responsible to the citizens of their state
for the protection of the interests Of policy
holders.
OF course, not every state examines every
company, but in order that all the interested
states may be represented in the examna-
tions, the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners has divided the states into
six zones The insurance commissioner of
one state in each zone is named to represent
all the states of that zone when the zone
takes part in an examination of company.
Since Metropolitan is licensed in every
state and in the District of Columbia, rep
resentatives of all these jurisdictions take
part in an examination of Metropolitan.
D-After such an examination, an exhaustive
report is written, and copies are sent to the
supervising authorities of the states, the

You may never meet him, but the insur-
ance-supervising official of your state is
man you ought to know about. He and the
members of his department are supervising
insurance companies in behalf of policy
holders.
1t goes without saying that Metropolitan,
and other life insurance companies, welcome
these examinations and the opportunity to
review their affairs with the supervisory
officials.
1t is only right that life insurance dollars
