nual Canadian Managers’ Confer- ence at Toronto, Mk. J. A, Moore of this City has returned from the Conference, and reports that the Sun Life through its world-wide cr- Banfzation is receiving a large vol- ume of business. At the Conference a rcvew of the past year was pre- sented by Mr Arthur B. Wood, Vice- Prcsldent. He revealed {or the first time, where the Sun Life is securing its business. More than one hundred millon dollars of paid-for business 1n Canada: from the United-States approximately two hundred and nnety-one million: from Great Britain fifty millions: and from the rest of the world eighty-five mili- ions. The Company now has in force over three billion dollars of business. Mr. Wood pointed out that, the An- nual Statement is now in the course of proporat on so that he was only able to present preliminary figures. The assets are now over six hundred millions.

Mr. Wood also pointed out that insurance institutions are least af- fected by depression, for life insur- ance is essentially a long term pro- postlon and its investments must of necessity be made to cover a per- iod u.’ years. Insurance compmiies are more concerned therefore with the caruhig power of their invest- ments than their market values, and in this connection the income of the Sun Life for the year 193i shows a large incrcase over the previous year and is not far short. of two hundred m lilons. Dividends paid to Pofcyholders during i931 show a striking increase.

All Japanese residents of other quarters of the city were moved into Hongkew, where they were un- der the direct. protection of strong patrols of Japanese saiors and marines. J ‘panese military displays included manoeuvres over the ia- ternational settlement by seventeen aeroplanes.

ious. The most recent disorders have occurred in districts where the foreign population is large.

odus of foreigners from these areas .nto quieter portions of the settle- munt, many stayed in their homes and. took the rick of being hit by stray bullets that were flying a- bout. Firing near the Astor House resulted in consternation among the guests, many of whom congre- gztecl in the hotel lobby. A number of the more frightened left, for quarters in lhc quieter parts of the settlement.

A vernacular newspaper issued a special edition declaring a Japan- ese machine gun had baen discov- ered atop the Astor House, where it had been placed for use against snpers infesting the neighborhood. Hotel ofllciiis said th"re was no truth in the story. i The uneasiness of persons in that, vicinity was increased when a, Chinese machine gun was dscover-

' ed on top of a building facing the

hotel. Japanese marines removed it.

Settlement officials revealed that special committees hasl boon form- ed of local residents to work out pl"ns by wh'ch the pcpulation and the resources of the settlement would be placed on virtually a mil- itary basis. The committees will seek to mobilize all available man power, placing each resident where he is most needed. Th’s service will be voluntary. Another committee will deal with the problems of food. fuekhnd transport, and a third will hive general responsibility for the safety of members of the col- ony. Plans were being made for bil- leting and for possible evacuation.

Rev. Dr. Ramsay's sermon was apropos to the Disarmament oon- ference wh'ch starts at Geneva on Tuesday. His text was these words from the Lord's prayer “Thy King- dom Come".

In truth. Christ's kingdom cannot come by way of war, its a blind ali- . cy. The task before the Conference is tremendous but prayer iseffect- ual. It is God's method therefore the people are called eamestly to pray during this week. Rev. Mr. Brown also delivered a very able sermon on the same subject at the evening worship from the passage in Isaiah 11-12. “And he shall set up an Etnsign for the nations. Jesus ‘s the ensign here referred to. He is God's Ensgn under which the people shall be united. Mr. Brown also made a stirring call for prayer that, the forces in the world that are working towards war may be overcome and that the result of‘ the approaching conference may be for the advancement "of the principles of peace and goodwill.
