Lovett told Mr.. Acheson he
could say no more and would
not have time to communicate
with Mr.. Acheson again for
some time. The conversation
ended there.
Mr.. Acheson then telephoned
the British Embassy and got
British Ambassador Sir Oliver
Frank, who was completely
imuerturbable."
"Oh, you don't say" Sir
Oliver exclaimed.
Eyes, Oliver, I do" Mr..
Acheson replied.
There was a short conversa-
ton about whether American
Secretary of State to British
Ambassador was a proper
channel.
Then Sir Oliver said: I'VE
shall see. I'll meet you at the
White House at 1890 (for a
previously scheduled appoint
ment with the President). Per-
haps we will know then"

The unnamed official burst into
Mr.. Acheson's Office, deplored
the dreadful" turn Of events,
and suggested sending the files
to the basement and calling his

Mr.. Acheson told the officer
to sit down and said there
would be no movement of files
and no calling of wives.
There's nothing in these
files anyway" Mr.. Acheson said.
He then went to President

"If we look for a solution

claims that Michigan is headed toward

Republicans have been quick to
blame Williams for creating financial

of the problem has been the Re-

| In the case of the sale of the West
ern Life Insurance Co., the real dis
| service to Montana was committed not
| by the buyer, but by the seller. Once
sold and out of local control, this good
business was doomed to be moved, an
inevitable result of the current program
of acquisitions by big business. This
sale could not have been a forced issue.
it seems. Western Life was a success
full and profitable concern, fair game
for someone who wanted to buy it, 1t
fell as a rich plum into the lap of the
Minnesota concern that purchased it.
If the general public knew more
about the profit making potentials of
life insurance business it would better
understand the motive of the buyer in
this case, and it would also know that
all references made to MontanaS "un-
favorable tax climate" are pure bunk.
Of all businesses, the life insurance
is considered the safest, the SureSt and
the most profitable. The following fac
tors make it so:
L. It's overhead costs are exceedingly
low
2. 1t has no labor problems
3. 1t extends no credit, hence has no
credit losses.
4. 1t does not have to tie up any
capital in inventory so never takes
an inventory loss.
5. 1t pays a maximum income tax of
only Z 3/So compared to the corpora
tion maximum of 5236 and individual
maximum of 91%.
6. The policy buyer pays all the ex-
pense involved in selling the policy to |
him, and every lapsed policy gives the |
an extra windfall.
Z. Life insurance is sold to protect |
people in case of death, yet life insur-
ance firms will not sell anyone a
policy who does not seem a sure bet
20 outlive that policy. Mortality rates
are calculated far above mortality ex-
)erience so as to produce large annual
mortality savings for the compny.
8. Life insurance companies receive
. tremendous steady flow of funds
rom the insured and invest these funds
n gilt edged investments, again taking
10 risk of loss.
