Report-New Appointments Made

TORONTCL-Declaring that the outbreak of hostilities in Europe has had no appreciable effect to date on the business of the Crown Life Insurance Company. l-lon. G. Howard Ferguson, president, an- nounced at the company's 39th annual meeting held today that insurance in force had increased by $16,554,308. to $2l9.BB3.976.. an ‘n- crease of aproxima‘el_v 8%. New policies issued totalled 9343157262., more than in any previous year.

Assets increased to $38.5B8,099., a gain of approximately 12%, the largest in the history of the com- pany. The greater part of this increase was represented in gov- ernment and municipal bond hold- lnzs. There were a'so increases in holdings of public utilities and in- dmti-ial bonds and first mortgages on real estate. with smaller increas- es in preferred and common stock.

".'I‘he average rate of interest earned was 4.86%. Under present conditions in the money markets. this achievement is strong evidence of the efficiency of our investment departments," said Mr. Ferguson.

Mort/ENE!!! totalled $10,489,591. representing a little over 27% of the assets. The amount of the iri- terest overdue on December 31st last was $1,618.. an exceedingly small total in relation to the prin- cipal amount of the mortgages.

Pavments to policyholders and beneficiaries totalled $3146.39, while reserves for all policy liabil- ities gained more than 12%. and now amount to $34,199,015.

Income Up

The total cash income amounted to $9.434.40’7. compared to $8,422,- 809. in 1938.

Surplus for the year's operations was $653,882. of which 8944.769. was applied to policyholders’ dividends: 833.412 as shareholders’ dividends: 8182.408. to further writing down of ledger assets; and the balance of 593.294. added to surplus funds which now stand at s. new high. $1,726,402.

New Appointments

Mr. H. R. Stephenson, general manager, announced the appoint- ment of four new officers: Mr. Peter MacDonald. noting secre- tary; Mr. J. D. Jsmiesori, manager of tie mortage department; Mr. W. D. Stewart. rsslstant treasurer: snd Mr. A. F. Williams, agency supervisor‘. " Highlights of President's Address

In the course of his address, the president, Hon. G Howard Fer- guson. aid:

"There is very reason to anti- cipate s continuance of satisfactory progress during the current year on the part of our own Company as well ss of other Canadian life insurance companies. One of the chief reasons for this optimism. is the execellent outlook for busi- ‘ness generally throughout the Do- minon. Business conditions were definitely on the up grade during the first eirlit months of the year. and since Bcotember improvement has been still more marked. The second largest wheat crOD 0n "9- ord has been harvested. and not on‘v agriculture but business ken- nrrily has greatly benefitted. Wore has hem marked improve- ment in the newsprint and wood- pulp industriu, and our mining in-

dustry has exceeded all records. Manufacturing in many lines has been greatly accleratrd.

“It is inevitable that the produc- tion of all kinds of raw materials with which Canada is so richly en- dowed, as well as the development of a wide range of'lndustrles for which this country is naturally adapted, will be greatly stimulated as a result of the war. Canada is the fourth nation of the world in foreign trade, and already during the last three months our trade figures have shown important ad- vances which are attributable to the very striking increases in trade with the COlllltficS of the Western Hemisphere, especially with the United States.

"It is interesting to recall that at the outbreak of the war of 1914-18 considerable uncertainty was felt as to what effect it might have upon the earnings and pro- gress of the life insurance busi- ness, but the experience of those years proved that any such appre- hension was groundllms. Canadian life insurance companies without exception, as well as life insurance companies in Great Britain and in the United States, emerged from that period of war and the in- fluenza epedemic which followed it, stronger than ever before.

"The strength of the well man- aged life insurance companies, so clearly demonstrated during the years 1914-18, was in fact the pri- mary cruse oi’ the phenomenal growth of life insurance in the succeeding decade. There is no reason to doubt that the record of the life insurance companies dur- lng the present war will be equally impressive. and that in consequence the prestige of the business will be still further enhanced.

"It is important to remember that never in the history of Cans- da has any life insurance company failed to meet its obligations at all times. The record oi’ Canada's life insurance companies is unique as regards their unwavering financial soundness and stability. Credit for this splendid record is largely due to the careful supervision exercised by the Dominion Department of Insurance. The same thing may be said as to the soundness of our Canadian Banks, Trust Companies and other financial institutions.

"Canadian companies carrying on business abroad, either i-n the United States or other countries. do so in conformity with the laws of the country in which they oper- ate. Their policies are normally written payable in the currency of the country where issued and their

investments lire diversified andl

payable in the various n order to offset the exchange fluctuations.
