Too much so-called "re-lnsur- ance" today consists of swapping policies between Urge insurance com panies and their subsidiaries or be- tween other friendly compiu4es.

Furthermore, the social and political hurdles facing the direct- writing companies should re-act bene ficially to the professional re-insur ance companies. 9. It is true that this industry is now under a cloud; but I believe it la fundamentally sound. With the co operation of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, the National Fire Protection asaoclatlon, the Association of Casualty and Insurance Executives and the Mutual and other associations the industry can i>erform a great service to all insurance companies and to the nation aa a whole. It needs only organisation and better co-op«ration among its own group and.fairer treatment by the direct- writing companies which it is now efficiently serving.
