most insurance stocks, especialiy
those of the good fire companies. I
am often asked, 'however, why I in

companies have led and dictated to

8. 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. Some
day it may be found that this practice
is like a man endorsing his own note.
Then there will be s stampede t6 get
bona fide professional re-insurance

United States following World War
1. It has been again upset by World
War 2. After peace comes ,the pro
fessional U. 8. Re-Insurance c<nn-
panies will not only have an oppor
tunity to hold their present business,
but should be able to take on much
profitable business from direcLwrtt-

East ^
6. Today the stocks of professional
fire re-insurance companies are ds-
pressed -dna to urencnt ejtnwrdl-
narily high national fire losses. Of
policies of fire protection. Some day
our U. S. re-insurance companies will
enjoy a much, more impoiiunt place
in fire, marine, casualty, life and
other brfnches ol the insurance in
dustry. 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.
