P. E. Island A Tourist Paradise

There would seem to be good reasons for expecting that Prince Edward. Island will have excellent summer tourist business this year. The exchange situation is bound to deter many Canadians from their usual visits to the New Broil-find shore and mountain resorts, turn- ing their attention instead to Quebec and the Maritime Provinces and it will at the same time en- courage United States citizens to come to this side of the border where their dollars may be worth up to a fifth or a quarter more than in normal times.

Then there is the greatly improv- ed accommodation for the transfer of autos across the strait by the new Cor Ferry knowledge of which has been spread by every visitor‘ who crossed in the new boat last; year.

Also there is much more general knowledge of the nrgnificent hotel accommodation now available in Charlottetown and ofthc improve- ments anrl additlms made to the shore hotels and generally through- out the Province.

The establishment of a modern airport in Chlrlottetown and its placement upon the air maps of America is sure to bring a number of aviators by air and some cumul- ative results may certainly be ex- pected from the advertising cam- pilgfiS of our Provincial Tourist Association in recent years, and the more general knowledge, not. only of the summer beauties of this Province but of the excellent accommodation available" at very moderate prices. Every dollar brought to Prince Edward Island by summer visitors Lil's yolr will help to tide things over until the up- turn takcs place in the D1460 Te" ceived for the products of our farms, fox ranches and fisherlei This year mom perhaps than ever before every effort should be made to increase the number of our summer visitors and the QYIdBiIVOlIYS dl‘ Mr. Justice Arsenault and the Tourist Association should receive even more 80110111 summit than cvcl- before.

Soviet Espionage Plot Frustrated

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Jun. 23. __rA.P.) — Sixteen alleged Soviet secret agents-one of them describ- ed lls a beautiful woman-have been arrested in Constanza.

Romanian authorities said they believed the prisoners to have been commissioned to organize a terror- ists campaign against prominent persqflfl in what police called the biggest Soviet espionage plot in nil years.

They were seized as they disam- bsrked from the Greek ship Philo- mena, which arrived from Odessa with false P3P"!-

TOURIST OUTLOOK BRIGHT- Ploprletols of summer hotels and boarding house are already re- Cflivlng a number of enquiries for

’ tim- for next, and quite a few definite rienervafons have been made. There ls prospects of more than average convention

business for the Maritime th's year and Prince Edward Island should have its full share. The

Canadian Chamber of commerce will bring a very little delegation to Charlottetown this year on its pre- oonventon tour and the lifhrttinle Board ‘of Trade will meet in Chur- lottetown. The Canadian Nurses Association are meeting in Halifax

this year and it is expected that ‘many of them will oome over to l Charlottetown.

ANNUAL iilEI-ITING-The “Wide- |Awake" Groups of New Glasgow iheld their regular meeting st the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Camp- ibell, Wednesday evening, January ' 20, with the y~"" ‘mt presiding.

Tile roll call was answered by seven- teen members and there were two visitors present. Martha Ling was appointed to teach the lesson for the next meeting. George Nfsbit and Alma Railings was appointed on the entertainment committee. It was decided that we have a debate in four weeks time.

‘iLaurier Touch” Needed, Says King T0 Set Things Right

‘THREE RIVER-S, Que, Jon. 21- (By the Canadian Prank-Follow- lng the guiding footsteps of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, "Canada will rise above present day troubles to great- er heights than ever before" de- clared Rt. I-lon. Wm. Lyon Mac- kenzie King, Dominion leader of the Liberal party and former Prime Minister of Canada, speaking here tonight at a ceremony inaugurat- ing the Laurier club.

Under the chairmanship of Sen. Jacques Bureaus group of’ leading Liberal politicians addressed a large meeting. Supporting Mr. King were Hon. Ernest Lapoirlte, former Min- ister of Justice, Mayor J. H. Rob- inson, Three Rivcrs, Lucien Dubois, member of Parliament for Nieolet and others.

Introduced amid applause as the successor of Rt. Hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. King paid homage to a noble predecessor in high office. Of material advantages Canada had more than her share, he said. By means of sea-born trade, and by the “Laurier touch" she must grow in- to still greater nationhood, be dc- clared. Canada, a glorious tradltion,' was but at the beginning of her history. Crises she had met before- and survived. In this tbne of de- pression he exhorted his listeners to remember difficult times in the past and take heart.

At present Canada was suffering troubles the sources of which were far to seek. It was for precisely this reason that the country need- ed the touch of Laurlerb hand, the. inspiration of his ideals.

When the great Liberal chieftain had passed on, Mr. King said, it was his own opinion that Sir Wil- trio's successor ‘ be s French- Canadlan, but the Province of Quebec, with characteristic chivalry, wished that the honor go to some other province. Senator Bureau and Hon. Mr. Lapointe had supported Ills candidacy and had stood by him ever since.

Confederation Life Association

"I firmly believe we are approach- ing the beginning of a gradual im- pl ‘ in world conditions, and. when that time comes, we in Can- ada may look forward with the greatest confidence to a fuller and wider success than we have ever known."

With this optimistic forecast. Charles B. Macdonald, president and general manager, concluded his address at the 60th annual meeting of the policyholders and sharehold- ers of the Confederation Life As- sociation. Mr. Macdonald had al- ready referred to the disturbed ec- onomic conditions which prevailed throughout the year 1931, notwith- standing which, the directors of this old-established insurance in- stitution, of which he is the chief executive oflicer, were able to report a most satisfactory year's business.

New assurances, amounting to $53,852,452, including revivals, were issued during 1931, which closed with total- assurances in force a " lg to $381,085,182, an in- crease of $12,058,512 for the year. The total net income for the year was $20,064,390. The substantial sum of $9,985,880 was paid to policyhold- ers and beneficiaries during 1931, an increase of $1,334,972 ovcr the amount so paid in 1930. Since its organization, in 1871, the Confeder- ation Life Association has paid, to living policyholders. $60,647,353, and to beneficiaries of policyholders, $33,933,161 —- a total of $94,580,514.

The total assets at the close of 1931 amounted to $88,490.249_ an in- crease for the year of $6,554,155. The surplus earned during the year was $2,616,244, and the total surplus available for future distribution, as at 31st December, 193i, was $8,649,- 245.

The ratio of 1931 to 1921 figures shows the excellent progress of the Confederation Life Association dur- ing this ten-year period: Business in force, 262%; assets, 290%; total in- come, 289%; payments to policy- holders, 426%; dividends paid to policyholders, 511%; surplus, 365%.

Thai; present policyholders are well satisfied with their insurance investments in the Confederation Life is demonstrated by the fact that,‘ during 1931, they applied for additional insurance, and were ne- cepted, to an amount equal to 40% of the Company's total Canadian business for the year.

A schedule of the high-grade in- vestments of the Company, as at 31st December, 1931, shows 52% in government, municipal. and other bonds and debentures: 15.25% in city and town mortgages; 2.47% in farm mortgages; 21% in policy loans: 4.22% in real estate; 2.49%

in common stocks, and 1.79% in pre-

ferred stocks.

“Reference might be made," said

Mr. Macdonald, “to the unwise pol- icy of many of our municipalities in borrowing funds for expenditure upon local improvements or other schemes which would appear to be unnecessary at the present time, if not even extravagent . . . . Econ. omy on the part of spending bodies is surely necessary as a Coffegflve

IIIBBSUYc."

Mr. Macdonald intimated that the

Provincial Governments could count

the life insurance interests in bring-

most important feature. ‘Pilot; no policyholder has ever suffered loss through the failure of any Canadian llle insurance colopany Lu olscnarge, in full, all liabilities under its cou- tracls, is the proud boast of Canad- ian itfe insurance companies, and, added Mr. Waldie, "the directors of the Confederation Life believe that, in the matter of lnvcsuuents, linere should be no change ln the charac- teristically conservative policy of the Association which has brougnt it to its present position of strength and stability and established it as a company which the public regard with the highest confidence." Quoting an eminent English act- ualy, who once remarked that "there is nothing in the commercial world which approaches, even re- motely, the security of a well-estab- lished life office,’ V. R. Smith, aa- sistant general manager and act- uary, aald the life companies are adequst ‘y the problems arising out of the present disturbed conditions. The financial security and stability offered by a. life in- surance company arises, first, from the continuous flow of premium in- come, calculated upon a. buts to cover any contingency, or any com- “ " of n- tlngencles occuring at the some time; second, from the high grade of the securities in which the funds of such a Company as the Confederation Life are invested; third from the very stringent, view taken of the future liability arising out of policy contracts; fourth, ample surplus funds to cove": any and sll contingencies.
