St Croix Avis ;; /\,l @ \\/l i 8Q v ' o 75TH YEAR. CHRISTIANSTED. V. 1. U. S. A., WEDNESDAY, 11tTH FEBRUARY 1920 Direct®r R G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureawof WarRisk Insurance announced ’ teday that misleading and incorrec: sta.e- ments relative to the permanency of Gov- ernment Insurance are wveing circulated by individuals apoarently engaged in at- temp:ed “‘twisting’’ ¢f insurance. A specific and typical repor: received by the Director was o 0 the: ;f{fe-cr that some of these individuals had boarded a naval vessel at Philadeiphia and haa told the sailors that Government Insurance wcald not bo good a‘ter five years. “‘Gavernment !.ife Insarance fér veter- ans of the great war is a permanent position,’” said Director Cholmeciey Jones. “*Mis'eading statements have been made to the effect that Government Insurance will cease a the end ol five. y:ars afrer the war, or that it will be turned over to priv te companiss. Such statements are absolutely false and without foundation. There is, however, a requirement that the temporary term insurance hedd dur- ing the war wnizh inereased in cost from year to year, be changed or converted in- toone of the six permanent forms of Gov- ernment Lite Insurance, (ordinary life, 20-payment life, 30-payment life, 20-year endowment, 30-year enQownent. or en- do ¥ment at age 62} wit?n five years af-’ ter the formal declarauon of peace by prociamation of the President, if the in- sured desires to continue to be protected. “his permanent nsurange oes not in- crease in premium cost ‘as the insured grows older. ; “‘lmproper conduct by the individuals [ hav. re’erred to is in direct opposition to the attitude of the great lifte insur ance companies, which is embraced in a statement by the secretary of onzof the largz companies, wh reeently said: And Noises In The Head.

IVO. 34 “Os course, a life insurance company can not grant insurance at less than cost, bur the Government offers insurance to soldiers and sailors at less than it would cost the Government to gramt that in- surance (that is because the (Government bears all expenses of management, ete.) The Government is justified in this liber- ality in consideration of the faet that these soldiers and sailors have risked their lives, or have been willing to risk their lives, for the beneflt of the N=tion. All this jeing so, tis obviously expedi- ent for soidiers and sailors to take all the insurance offered by the Government at the low rate charged. “The company whose secretary made tnhe above statement has instructed als its agents to reiuse to take applications from soldiers and sailors until they have taken the full amount of the new Gov- erament Insnranes to which they are eniiiled.”’ West End New Grocery . offers recent Arrivals LIVER POSTEJ, SPEHEPOLSE, Boneless Codfish, Fancy Smoked Herrings, Maraschino + herries, SELECIED APPLES, POTATOES, SMOKED SAUSAGE, PICT IC & SUP.
