Few lines of business have done `°f mb°"' but °f gow citizenship gem
so well on this continent lil 1931 as
that of life insurance. New paid- for business last ycar in Canada
will probably amount to $750,000,000

$iG,000,000,000. The decrease from
1930 will be about the same in the
two countries. namely, from 13 to
14 per cent. The decrease from

THE 30TH MILESTONE
The celebration last evening of
the thirtieth anniversary of the Laborers' Protective Union is a re-
minder of the splendid progress which this organization has made
in the community. Starting without
funds and with a small membership,
the union now owns .i'= own hall, has a tidy credit balance in the
bank, and is widely representative of
the labor element ill the ciiy. It has
encouraged thrii`t and industry
anlong its members, and has done
much to further the cause, not only
crally. The Guardian takes this oe-
casion to compliment the organiza-
tion upon its steady growth and de-
velopment. and to wish it every suc- cess in the future.
Ii’I?IT.-i IlV’S TARIFF
The Mollillly Review of the Bank
of Nora Scotia contains a compre- hensive discussion of the situation
created i»_v Bl'itain’s departure from

last ten-year period-in Canada tof the extent of $19,000,000. Recoriisl have been broken in the total dis~,`
bursements to policyholders in 1331, which will probably exceed S155,-I ooo,ooo. or this sion, sll.olo,flo.l,'
deceased policyholders, while S63.- 000.000 is represented by lllaiiircd
endowments, anniliiics, dllicicnds
and disability benefits. The total insurance in force in Cullacla is now
approximately $6,670,000 000. an in- crease of $180,000,000 over 1930, rev presenting nearly $550 of life insur-
oncc per capita.
Less satisfactory has been tile;
business of "fire insurance in Czlnzldll: during the past year. Illclrllsl-:Il
losses, taxes and expenses, uucl al
reduction in -premium income are;
given. as reasons for the adverse ro-a suits which are likely to be shown by the great majority of companies
'operating in the Dominion. While 'no odicial figures are available, rc-
cords compiled by the Montreal Chronicle indicate that fire losses
in Canada during 1931 were about 'ten million dollars in excess of those for 1930, reaching about forty million dollars in all. A larsl!
amount of this stupendous fire waste is said to be due to careless-
ness by the public. During the past two years the companies have paid in losses to the Canadian public
the huge sum of approximately
065,000,000.
Weighing these flgllres, one is im-
pressed by the phenomenal devol- opment in modern times of the practice of insurance, the Origin and growth of \villch attest n rc-
markable change in men‘s ideas
and habits. The value of insurance as an institution cannot be meas-
ured by statistics, but its results in the social economy, the substitution ihrough its development of reason- able foresight and confidence for
apprehension and the scnse of haz- ard in business and human affairs,
are admitted by all. These results are well summed up in the Ency- clopaedia Britannica, from which
we quote the following striking
tribute:

‘lurance to civilization is made, not in visible wealth, but in the 'intangible and immeasurable lforces of character on which civilization itself is founded. It is ,pre-eminently a modern institu- 'tion. Some two centuries ago it ~had begun to influence centres of trade, but the mass of civilized men had no conception of its meaning. Its general application and 'popular acceptance beifan within the nrst half nf the 19th century. and its eon~'iercizli and social importance have multiplied ll “unrlredfolrl within living mem- crv. It has done more than all l“'ir< of impulsive charity to fos- ter a sense of human broth~rhood and of common interests. It has 'lone more than all repressive legislation to rlv-stray the Pam-

is worill stressing for the sake of llcrlllucy, is that free trade was not

Moreover, what- ever restrictions were imposed elsewhere upon the free move- ment of goods, other countries have taken for griintcd that the British market would remain open to the world, as a permanent
outlet for forced sales," This, comments the Sydney Post,
is true to the record. The triumph of Cobcicnism in 1840 consisted
merely in the initial achievement of
“the repeal of tile corn law,"--that is the placing of grain and food stuffs on the customs free list. An-
other point worth noting, which the Banks Review does not refer to, is
that Britain was under tariff pro-
tection for three hulldred years pre- ceding the repeal of the corn laws.
Brltain's discontinuance of the
one-way free trade system, the Re- view says, and its establishment of
an effective tariff barrier, must
have a far-reaching effect on the world's business. "By future gener-
ations," it says, "its erection may well be regarded as an event of no less importance than Peers historic
decision of 1846 in favor of free trade." I

According to the London press, n
n"w sales record for the financial year just ended is announced by the Wakefield Company, all-British manufacturers of lubricating oils. This success was achieved in spit? of adverse cond'i.i=:m during th~ p`st year, including intense efforts cn th: pfrt of foreign competitors to capture the English market.

ing. "People h*vc said in times of depression that they cannot afford to advertise," said a Wakefield official. “That il wrong. We cannot afford' not to advertise. Our faith is Juztlflcd by our sales." It takes the mind back to the c-.ge of that other British firm of manufacturers who, feeling that their product was "sufficiently well known,” stopped advertising-and
temptation, consciously or other- wise, for such a man to ta.mP0l` with truth for the sake of making an epigram. R/ogers has given grezt pleasure to his America-n disciples by his recent statement that "this country always wins its wars and loses its conferences". It is improbable that in this instance he relied, as was said of a much grea-ter man, on his im"-gination for his facts. He probably derived his facts from his limited acquaint- ance with the school text books of his native Oklahoma, or the equally iulreliable press to which he con- tributes.
There have been only three
major wars in which our sister nation has engaged, if we elimin- ate, as we must, the Great War, in which her participation was in a sense, involuntary, and which she did not initiate. One of the three was her invasion of Cirillda ill 1812-15. If this was a victory (as Rogers and other United States writers frequently claim) then the story of the Detroit surrender and the defeat of Queenston Heights are myths. If it was a victory the current geographies used in the United States schools, and which show not an inch of Oznadian territory conquered' or ceded in that war, must be in error. Great Britain was busy in many other parts of the ‘world during that conflict, which probably explains the paradoxical fact thzt the Americans were victorious on water (Lake Erie) though defeated onland,
The other two great wars were
civil wars, that oi' 1776 as much so as that of 1860. They were wars between people of the same stock and within the same nation. In the first the United states engaged in a rebellion; in the second it suppressed one. One does not de- preoiete the United States by re- ferring to the manifest advantages she enjoyed in both instances for in both she showed great valor and determination. But nations do not ordinarily class their success in arms within their own borders, ss vicwrles, in the sense that they class battles won from other net- ions.
