The following W55 the report of the directors: This car's busi- ness shows a considers e increase over the combined premiums the two former companies for the LUIII; pending premium year 1940. In that year the combined prem- ium income of the two companies was $45,786.20. In 1948 the premi- In income of the amalgamated 001m was $52,374.90. This shor. an increase of nearly $7000. in premiums collected. In 1940 tho total insurance carried by the two companies was $13,341,115 .00 In 194d the total insurance carried by this company was $14,672,600.00 or an incl-cam of $1,330,742.00. The losses for the year were consider-

for the two companies for The company's surplus for the year 184B amounts to $24,401.70 which is the largest surplus in the history of the company. This surplus has inert-used the net assets of the company to $191,974.32 which is a little less than $7000.00 more than th- assets of the combined comp- anies in 1928.

Our sprpius enabled us to make further substantial subscriptions to Victory Loans during the year. The average commission paid to agents for the year 1942 amounted to 15.8 per cent of the premium. The av- erage commission paid to agents for the year 1M3 amounted to 14.8 per cent. This is due to a large ex- tent to the fact that the cycle in which 1943 falls the individual in- surance policy is larger than the other two years of the cycle.

The expense in the the company in lsifiwas 12.6 per cent of the total income which is the some as the expense in the management of the company for 194i and which lo 1.57 per cent less than the expense of the manage- ment of the two companies before the amalgamation. The amount of rev- snug for the year was $6,113.12 in addition however. further interest collection amounting to $2,008.10 was made during the year. This was credited to the item of out-

Major Pronouncesnellh There have been suggestions and

ideas from a dozen different qui-rt- $5M“.

crs in the last couple of yearg but the main ideas for changes have stemmed from three major pro- ,nounccments on Empire polio +- |Prime Minister John Cult n’s ‘speech at Adelaide last August, Field Marshal Jan Smuts "explos- ive" address to the Empire Par- liamentary Association last. No- vember. and Viscount Ha1lfax's To- ronto speech this woek.

Curtin proposed a. plan for an imperial viva council with a anent secretariat, expert ln peace problems, meeting regular- ly at Ottawa, Canberra, Pretoria. Wellington and London. High commission would represent the dorninions.

Main criticism of this plan heard in London has been that the Do- minion Pflrne Ministers would be reluctant to delegate powers to the high commissioners to taks irrev- ocable steps in the forIm of major decisions.

Yesterday in the House of lords, the Earl of Listowel supported the idea of regional machinery for security. development and welfare services between empire countries. and Viscount Cranbom welcomed on behalf of the government new methods for empire collaboration ‘ "m; ’ in. "ms in some areas.

There was much in common in Dustin's ideas for fuller Dominion participation in British fiorei n policy and the view set forth y Lord Halifax in his ‘Ibronio Board of Trade speech Monday mat the Dominion; should be "equal in status" ag well as in function to Britain. lord Halifax carried the ideas further, envls the - minions sharing in shaping Brit- ain's defence, economic and other policies as well as that in the (i614 of foreign relations.
