T<HERE IS MUCH good news for policyholders in
i the 1o4s record of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company.
Payments to policyholders and their bene6ciaries
reached a new all-tme high of so23 0OO OOO Mortal
ity among policyholders, excluding war Deaths was
the lowest on record. The yield on the Company's
investments followed the general trend and declined
somewhat The Company had asset gains which
made it possible to revise policy and annuity reserves
to reflect lower interest earnings Scales of divi-
dends to pocyholders maintained, and in some
cases slightly increased.
Unassigned surplus funds at the year end
amounted to S448, 600, 600 In addition the Company
had special surplus funds of S1Oo 100000, of which
SeS,100,000 represented special reserve for pos
sible loss or fuctuaton in the value of investments
and s14, 100000 Group Insurance reserve for cpl
denies etc These funds represent an extra cushion
of safety for policyholders

A Thought For Today
Language and Meaning

One of the fundamental difficulties in the troubled sphere international relations s of course the lack or interpretation of the same words by different a tions and governments It & perhaps even more trouoe some than is the lack of a common language
 The example of this difficulty that comes most readily to mind is the varying conceptions of the word democracy The American and British definition best and most taous y expressed in the last sentence of Lncons Gettysburg Address, To the Russians, however, democracy Is gov ernnent of by and for the partywh secret police con- troled press one- party elections and so on. ,
 But there other differences. Take for example the matter of equaty among naons From the evidence at hand it would seem that among the great powers Amera and Britain in particular construe the phrase to that small nations have right to be heard to resent being pushed around to choose their form of government In free eec tons and having chosen that form of government to De granted equality of sovereign standing among the Unteo Nations
 It would also seem from recent evidence that Russia considers "equay among nations to an equally fee hand among the powerful nations to do about as they please At least equality among nations has been invoked in u- official complaints from Moscow protest against the ac
 Middle and Far East and the United States keeps troops in China Iceland and elsewhere yet Russia IS not considered justified in doing the same thing in Iran.
 Perhaps the western democraces have not lived up to the letter spirit of their ideal of equality among nations Surely the world will be happier and more peaceful place when all foreign troops withdrawn from every country
 Meanwhile it be pointed out that, in some instances American and British forces present on foreign soil at the request of that foreign nations duly constituted ana recognized government In they present in viola on of treaty agreement to withdraw and despite recog nzed governments protest of their presence to the United Nations.
 But protests and excuses can lead to solution in an international organization without real legal power, and thanks to weakening compromises without any real strength act against the Big Five Lacking legal teeth the United Nations depend only on good will for it's good work And good will to be unhappily scarce commodity in the international market these days.

BRISTOL AS A MINING TOWN
(Hartlord Tlmesl

(Hartlofd TimeS)
 The news Is interesting and of considerable importance that copper mines in the Bristol Burlington area, part of which is known ag Copper Hill, at which operations ceased half century ago, are to be worked again. A mining engineer from the West believes that the deposits which were worked for nearly 0 century still have 100000 tons of ore of sufficiently high qual- ity to warrant taking 1t out and smelling 1t. He is Allen l.. Hearst and he Is organizing Q company to undertake the project,
 in colonial days and later, metals Of various sorts were mined in Con- necticut, There were, Of course, the copper mines at SimSbury, which became @ prison, The iron mines of Salisbury were famous for the quality of the metal which they yielded in Revolutionary days and indeed much later.
 Precious metals have been found In small quantities in Connecticut and elsewhere in New England, al- though not sufficiently to make this known as an important mining area.
 Connecticut is not the only New England state to, produce copper. Vermont had Q similar experience to that in prospect In Bristol. Some silver deposits also were found. Tn the early days mines in that State produced copper of c very high grade which was used by the brass making industry in the Naugatuck Valley, The production of 1t ceased as more plentiful supplies and lower cost mining developed In the West, In recent years, and particularly during the war when all metals were scarce, the mines enjoyed re- newal of activity and have been prosperous. They are likely to con- tlnue in operation under more economical modern methods, such as those which will be used in Bris- tol,
