FORESTRY, PUU’ AND PAPER

The primer! forest industries in

Canada. together with the manufac- turing industries using forest prod- ucts as their raw materials, have experienced remarkable prosperity in 1929. end evidently expect even great. er _things -in 1930. ' Production of newsprint in the first eleven months of 1929 has reached the unprece- dented total of 2.486.584 tone. as com. pared' with 2,l'l8.49il tons in the cor- responding period of 1926. an increase of nearly fifteen per cent. over what was itself a new high record. While this Industry has some baffling con- ditions to contend with, it is appar- ently permanently and firmly estgb- lished. v

MAGNITUDE Oi' LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS

It is estimated that the amount of

Life Insurance in force on this Con- tinent psssed the hugs total of one

hhufidred and six billions of dollars on t Nth of July lest. A most strik- ing fect ls that, while it took seventy- nine years for Life Insurance in United States companies to reach. in lolz, the first fifty billions of dollars, the second fifty billions has been achieved in e little more than six and a half years. _

The amount of insurance in force

in Canada in-1922 was 88.l'l1,ssa,99o. and at the end of 1929 it is estimated that there would be t8.500.000.000-00- Thus it will be seen that the increase in Canada is apparently proportion- ataly keeping pace with the growth

The amount held in reserve to pro-

tect the l¢.il00.000.0il0.0i'i of poll” contracts is approximately ti,ll00,- 00o,000.0o. This vest sum does not lie idle, but is in the meantime used for the purpose oi developing agri- culture. food production, transports- tion. and in general public works everywhere.

Life Insurance gains momentum

each year, but is still far from the ultimate goal. as our people have not yet purchased life insurance suin- cient, on the everele. to indemnify their families against death for much more than one year'searned income.

CANADA LIFE PROGRESS

Ior our own Company the past

year has been exceedingly satisfac- tory. 'I'he intelligent. well-directed ‘efforts of our Associates in the field have~~ps.id for $ltl,838.36B.0i| of new assurances, which. having regard to the twill conditions of the last few months of the year. is s splendid tribute to the calibre and loyalty of our representatives in the iield. 'I‘ha result of the year’s work hes been to increase our buslness_in force to the sum of s913,3093'it.00.en increase for the year of 891.583.2300. It will be observed that we -have nearly reached the one billion dollar mark. It is entiolpatedthet it_will be reach- ed before the end of Merch. 19301

I congratulate most heartily all the

members of 'our Office and Field forces in Greet Britain. Ireland. the United States. Hawaii and Canada, and dedra to express my gratifica- tion at their splendid work. I J leave it to the General Manager to speak more particularly with reference to it. end their contribution to our yeer'e business. _

The recent debacle in the stock

market has brought more prominent- ly before the public the controversial question as to the wisdom or other- wise of Insurance Companies invest- ing any considerable portion of their assets in Common Stocks. It i-.as been reported by our officers. from their respective spheres. that the in- suring publio in Great Britain, the United States of America. and even in our own country. are labourfng under-‘the misconception that ALI. Canadian Life Insurance Companies invest a very large proportion of their assets in Common Stocks. It tbcrc- fore becomes my duty. as well as my

U1 111° U`\\"»°d 3*l¢°*~ _ desire. to remove. in so fer as it is

possible, such misconception. Our Company has but 1.44 per cent. of its assets invested in Common Stocks.

Canada. save one, has, I believe, more than seven per cent. of its assets lu- vested in Common Stocks. ` '

The policy of our Company since

its incorporation in 1847 has been. when investing its funds. to seek in the main to attain ample security of high standard and quality. and not fo be tempted through highratcs of in- terest or expectancy of proilt. into speculative investments. This I be- lieve is also the policy of most of the great Life Insurance Companies ol the world. founded on generations _if not centuries of experience.

We have resisted the temptation to

invest largely in Common Stocks. be- cause we believed that that which has happened would happen. and conse- quently it was not consistent with our duty to our policyholders. Wo pre- ferred tho fixed type of investment such as bonds. preferred stocks and

balanced list of maturities. This sys- tem brings in a constant stream of payments of principal without resort to the market itself. in addition to interest. Then. too. the most herald- ed advantags of Common Stocks is the prospect nl profit in years io come. but that would mean benefit for the future rather than for the present policyholders. We do not

possible but uncertain siccrctions to principal for future beneficiaries. and neglect those living, many_of whom will then have died or ceased to have sn interest in the companyf

Had not the policy referred to been that of most of the Life Insurance Companies of this continent. one hesitates to express what might have been the result of the recent violent break in the steak market.

Bufflce it to say that no Life In-

surance contract has. as e result of the disturbance. been varied in any respect. as to dividends 'or otherwise. It must not. however. be assumed that. because most Life Insurance Companies have weathered tha storm unscatned, it was by reason of env

the year. end that _ arising, rom °'“ m W' nd "“"°“ "°°id°nt° `flnenc'lal genius peculiar to their Ex-

ecutives. or because they enjoyed any unique advantages of market posi- tion. Had the investments of those Life Insurance Companies bcen of similar character. they would have suffered proportionately with those. invlvidusis _end corporeklons who were afflicted. ` ‘ It has been convincingly demon- strated tlxat Life Insurance. by res- son of the high ideals of its manage- ment. aided by statutory limitations, has been so entirely dissociated from the speculative security market. its caprices and influences. that it was not endangered. nor should it evu be greatly threatened by this or any like catastrophe.

The integrity and absolute relie-

bility of 'Life Incurcncc contracts should never be subjected in the up- turna or downswings of tho market.

Any Company which has passed

through the recent market upheaval without feeling the pinch, and with- out sharing to any substantial extent in the stupendous losses. must be re- garded se fundamentally stable and sound. Your Company claims to be one of these.

AN occasion when Mark ,Twain

was dreadfully funny-"dreadfully," for poor Mark-lsi. mentioned _by Phillips nu.-.sou ia no book 'about Emerson. It was a dinner given to Whittier in honor of his seventleth birthday- Those present included Wil- liam Dean Howells. Longfellow. Em- erson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Mark Twain., end, oi' course. Whittier. It was known that Mark meant to spread himself and there was the keenest expectation of an unusually uproaripus Wcech.

O C O

WHEN it came io his turn Mark- bcgan to tell e story about three tramps who appeared at the cabin door of e. loney miner in California and invited themselves to his hos- pitality. They gave their names as Longfellow, Holmes and Emerson. At_ this point. instead of the anticipa- ting smile which Mark had expected. a slight shudder of apprehension ran acrom the assemblage. Was it poe- siblc that their ears deceivcd them? Longfellow, Holmes and Emerson; -trsmps?

O l O

»MARK. detecting the' chill in the atmosphere, continued his story in the hope of warming the slr. I-ie went on to describe his three hoboas as busy with their cards and drink. meantime citing apt quotations. in- geniously altered. from the works of their namesakes. To cut the story short. Mark. well aware that he was riding headlong for a terrible fall- ure, kept on to the heartbreaking end. Then “fell a silence weighing. many tons to the square inch-brok- en only by the hysterical and blood- ciirdlirig laughtcrot s. single guest.”

It was a miserable humiliation for

him and poor Mark went homo in an agony oi' suffering.
