Few lines of business have done `°f mb°"' but °f gow citizenship gem
so well on this continent lil 1931 as
that of life insurance. New paid-

will probably amount to $750,000,000

THE 30TH MILESTONE
The celebration last evening of
the thirtieth anniversary of the
Laborers' Protective Union is a re-
minder of the splendid progress
which this organization has made
in the community. Starting without
funds and with a small membership,
the union now owns .i'= own hall,
has a tidy credit balance in the
bank, and is widely representative of
the labor element ill the ciiy. It has
encouraged thrii`t and industry
anlong its members, and has done
much to further the cause, not only
crally. The Guardian takes this oe-
casion to compliment the organiza-
tion upon its steady growth and de-
velopment. and to wish it every suc-
cess in the future.
Ii’I?IT.-i IlV’S TARIFF

of Nora Scotia contains a compre-
hensive discussion of the situation

which will probably exceed S155,-I

deceased policyholders, while S63.-
000.000 is represented by lllaiiircd
endowments, anniliiics, dllicicnds
and disability benefits. The total
insurance in force in Cullacla is now
approximately $6,670,000 000. an in-
crease of $180,000,000 over 1930, rev
presenting nearly $550 of life insur-
oncc per capita.
Less satisfactory has been tile;
business of "fire insurance in Czlnzldll:
during the past year. Illclrllsl-:Il
losses, taxes and expenses, uucl al
reduction in -premium income are;
given. as reasons for the adverse ro-a
suits which are likely to be shown
by the great majority of companies
'operating in the Dominion. While
'no odicial figures are available, rc-
cords compiled by the Montreal
Chronicle indicate that fire losses
in Canada during 1931 were about
'ten million dollars in excess of
those for 1930, reaching about forty
million dollars in all. A larsl!
amount of this stupendous fire
waste is said to be due to careless-
ness by the public. During the past
two years the companies have paid
in losses to the Canadian public
the huge sum of approximately
065,000,000.
Weighing these flgllres, one is im-
pressed by the phenomenal devol-
opment in modern times of the
practice of insurance, the Origin
and growth of \villch attest n rc-
markable change in men‘s ideas
and habits. The value of insurance
as an institution cannot be meas-
ured by statistics, but its results in
the social economy, the substitution
ihrough its development of reason-
able foresight and confidence for
apprehension and the scnse of haz-
ard in business and human affairs,
are admitted by all. These results
are well summed up in the Ency-
clopaedia Britannica, from which
we quote the following striking
tribute:

‘lurance to civilization is made,

~had begun to influence centres of
trade, but the mass of civilized

elsewhere upon the free move-
ment of goods, other countries
have taken for griintcd that the
British market would remain open
to the world, as a permanent
outlet for forced sales,"
This, comments the Sydney Post,
is true to the record. The triumph
of Cobcicnism in 1840 consisted
merely in the initial achievement of
“the repeal of tile corn law,"--that
is the placing of grain and food
stuffs on the customs free list. An-
other point worth noting, which the
Banks Review does not refer to, is
that Britain was under tariff pro-
tection for three hulldred years pre-
ceding the repeal of the corn laws.
Brltain's discontinuance of the
one-way free trade system, the Re-
view says, and its establishment of
an effective tariff barrier, must
have a far-reaching effect on the
world's business. "By future gener-
ations," it says, "its erection may
well be regarded as an event of no
less importance than Peers historic
decision of 1846 in favor of free
trade." I

According to the London press, n
n"w sales record for the financial
year just ended is announced by
the Wakefield Company, all-British
manufacturers of lubricating oils.
This success was achieved in spit?
of adverse cond'i.i=:m during th~
p`st year, including intense efforts
cn th: pfrt of foreign competitors
to capture the English market.
Wakcfieida state that they
have kept their supremacy by
llsinz British lrlcsmen and Brit-
ish sales methods. and by placing
their faith in newspaper advertis-
adilin Nailonai R.a`lways, has been

ing. "People h*vc said in times of
depression that they cannot afford
to advertise," said a Wakefield
official. “That il wrong. We
cannot afford' not to advertise.
Our faith is Juztlflcd by our sales."
It takes the mind back to the c-.ge
of that other British firm of
manufacturers who, feeling that
their product was "sufficiently well
known,” stopped advertising-and
temptation, consciously or other-
wise, for such a man to ta.mP0l`
with truth for the sake of making
an epigram. R/ogers has given
grezt pleasure to his America-n
disciples by his recent statement
that "this country always wins its
wars and loses its conferences". It
is improbable that in this instance
he relied, as was said of a much
grea-ter man, on his im"-gination
for his facts. He probably derived
his facts from his limited acquaint-
ance with the school text books of
his native Oklahoma, or the equally
iulreliable press to which he con-
tributes.
There have been only three
major wars in which our sister
nation has engaged, if we elimin-
ate, as we must, the Great War, in
which her participation was in a
sense, involuntary, and which she
did not initiate. One of the three
was her invasion of Cirillda ill
1812-15. If this was a victory (as
Rogers and other United States
writers frequently claim) then the
story of the Detroit surrender and
the defeat of Queenston Heights
are myths. If it was a victory the
current geographies used in the
United States schools, and which
show not an inch of Oznadian
territory conquered' or ceded in that
war, must be in error. Great
Britain was busy in many other
parts of the ‘world during that
conflict, which probably explains
the paradoxical fact thzt the
Americans were victorious on
water (Lake Erie) though defeated
onland,
The other two great wars were
civil wars, that oi' 1776 as much so
as that of 1860. They were wars
between people of the same stock
and within the same nation. In
the first the United states engaged
in a rebellion; in the second it
suppressed one. One does not de-
preoiete the United States by re-
ferring to the manifest advantages
she enjoyed in both instances for
in both she showed great valor and
determination. But nations do not
ordinarily class their success in
arms within their own borders, ss
vicwrles, in the sense that they
class battles won from other net-
ions.
