Finance Minister Says 19,000 Policies Were Isgued Since Sept. 1 . -

UITAWA. Nov. 4-—(CP)-1"I- nance Minister Ilsley tonight an- nounced that the government had authorized certain administrative changes in the rates and under- writing conditions of the war risk insurance scheme, including a policy holder's right to a rer-und of his pro rata portion of b0 per cent of the net Sui-plus remaining in the fund at the end of the war.

" ls o, recognition.’ ’ the minister said "of tgartnership that exists between e contributing property owners and the tax- payers of Canada.

"It also Is,a. demonstration of the non-profit-making intention of the government in setting up the scheme. "If the rate of 25 cents per $100 proves to have been too blah (and no one knows today what rate would have been too high) the con- tributors will share in the surplus along with the general body of taxpayers Iwho have underwritten the risk to the extent that the c- mount of the damage exceeds the ummuit paid into the fund by the policyholders."

In a statement distributed to the

“When allowance is made for the effect of the free compensation in regard to owner-occupied dwell- ing houses, this represents a fair response to the government scheme, and, of course, additional policies have been issued since the end of October.

"However, it is fair to say that the response to the scheme has not been as great as has been expected. Possibly this is due to the favor- able turn of evetns in recent weeks. It. would be a mistake if recent war news were allowed to give rise In Canada to any false sense of immunity from war dan- ger... '
