S PRAGUE. Editor land Publisher Member of The Associated Press ! J The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this newspaper. ! Mutual life Insurance ' I, :The announcement by the president of the I Prudential .Insurance company' of the purchase . of the final 32 shares'of stock in the company s , remaining In private hands, completing the 1 mutualization of the company awakens echoes - of the insurance ' investigation held just after the turn of the century, one of the first public inquisitions in the field of high finance, when Charles E. Hughes made his initial reputation in public service. It was this inquiry which . started the mutualizing of the great. Insurance : companies. Prudential has been mutual in ef fect for many years, as are New York Life, Metropolitan, Equitable and most of the other large life insurance concerns. i It was the fight between James Hazen Hyde. son of the founder of Equitable Life, with James 1 ; W. Alexander over, control of the company ' which rocked Wall street and led to disclosures which shocked the nation. That was in, 1905. i : Gov. Higgins of New York appointed the Arm- ; 4 strong committee to investigate the operations of the insurance companies, and Hughes was employed as counsel. He did a thorough job of probing and many a reputation was ruined. Hyde fled to France and remained an expatriate. ; The committee found the companies paying ex- cessive salaries, commissions and gratuities, us ing their money in politics, and lending funds for the private speculations of directors. The in vestigation led to a thorough cleanup, although x the investigations of the economic committee under the new deal a few years back showed some of the companies, mostly smaller outfits not mutualized, Were up to the old tricks. In . other words the reforms stuck and Hughes went on to become governor of New York, su preme justice of the United States, a candidate for president, and then back as chief justice of ! . the supreme court. I Prudential is how the second largest life in- f aurance company, with total assets , of nearly - , five billions of dollars and annual income of $859,000,000. The handling of a business of this magnitude is a tremendous responsibility, , but the restraints of the law and the prudence of good management make the practical opera - s tion of a company of this size successful. i x What does a company do with its money !' when it has to invest as the - Prudential does, some , $350,000,000 new money each year, be- , aides reinvesting proceeds of investments that have matured? Like banks it has lately been putting most of its money into government ob ; ligations. Prudential for example is carrying 1 over one and two-thirds billion dollars worth of government bonds, plus nearly a quarter of a billion dollars worth of Canadian, and state and municipal bonds. The other big field of investment is mortgage loans on city and farm property, which amounts for this company to a billion and. an eighth dollars. Railroad bonds, -which used to be a prime favorite, have been shrinking in most investment portfolios while public utility bonds have been increasing. So now -rTuaential is carrying 8347 millions; of railroads and $457 millions of public utilities, with industrial and miscellaneous bonds amounting to nearly 300 million dollars. Policy loans total $318 millions and real estate owned $144 millions. Prudential is cited merely as an example. Other companies are in similar con dition as to investments. J - ' J j The declining rate of interest on investments hits insurance companies, but their operations are based on an earnings rate of around 2 which is still being realized. They also have a good cushion in the mortality tables. With any thing like care in selection of their risks the death losses are much less than the actuarial tables allow for. ' i - j r One thing which has always intrigued us In the financial statements of mutual companies is the item for reserves. There is the provision , for legal reserves, deemed to be fully adequate - j under the law and long experience. Then there if is always the contingency reserve, amounting in the case of the Prudential to over $80 million dollars. These are excess reserves held out 1 from policy holders, used to take up losses in li ' ' Investments, if any; but as time goes on these h excess reserves keep piling up. We have often I; wondered what finally would become of them. Will the last policy holder get all that's left in i j the "kitty? Private companies of course take I - care of Ihe excess y declaring dividends on I stocky The mutuals could increase their divi dends and stop piling up the contingency re serve,' but they don't . : : . :j ,; While these big life companies are no longer j, private capital stock companies, the individual j ' stockholders exercise no practical voice In their j management "The management runs the com- panies, retains itself in office. The policyholder must rely almost entirely on the honesty and . capacity of the company executives, who,' as a rule, merit that confidence.- j World war" I had its Mooney-Billings case, - when Pres. Wilson appealed to California for i clemency for these two convicted men, assert- Ing that their conviction - was disturbing Rus- . aia. Now Russia has executed two Polish 'labor leaders who -sought refuge in Russia, accusing: j '. them of trying to make some deal with the nazis. Mayor LaGuardia-of New York and a number of others, including AF of L leaders, ' . protest and claim the men are innocent Joseph Curran of the CIO Maritime union, leaps to the defense of Soviet Russia, and denounces the protests as unwarranted interference. No one , la this country knows enough of the facts to pass judgment on the executions, but the readi ness of Joe Curran to defend Stalin shows a i continued leaning on the Moscow line. ! j 4 il . leashed that helped back the American with Rommel's men! A chap up at Yakima committed suicide, leaving a note, "I can't win-. If he looked at life as a gamble he- was probably right, for gambling is a most precarious profession. If he looked on life as battle, then his victory would be in the fighting, not necessarily In the result. Glory lies in running the race, not alone in breasting the tape. ; Air (Superiority! : Airj power is proving a determining if not. a decisive factor hi lithe battle of Tunisia. It was air power shunted across from Italy by the .Vf. nWh haltod the earlv thrust of the allies toward Bizerte. f It "was air power suddenly un- Ine new nazi unra to forces in their first clash !i With tho building UD of wtui xwuui'o I " - air nnwor to rjass that of the enemy it has been possible to pound Rommel's positions in , the Mareth line, to' pound his supply lines, his bases and his vitalljr needed transports. Now the pasting has beept extended to Italian bases. , The production capacity of the allied na tions has gone so far ahead of Germany's that the fained Luftwaffe; is being eclipsed on nearly all fronts. No longjer is Germany able to con-. duct raids in force against England. No longer, are naizi planes able to head off the allied bomb ing expeditions to feirope or even to offer ef fective resistance uif Tunisia. The evidence of the Luftwaffe's decline is evident. The causes are due to wasting jof its reserve of planes in the continuing campaigns of the war, to the loss of skilled aviators, jto the failure of production undexj strains of lack of labor and the pummel ing! of repeated bombings. The day of the Stuka is said to be done, with the ship no longer in production. I jWhen the real push of the continental inva sion Comes we will see such a massing of air might as the world has never known and which is fearful even td contemplate. Jeremiah's prophecy will applf : "A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!" Air powjer, and air power alone can blast1 the defenses Hitler has set on the margins of Fortress Europe Tunisia offers a prelude to the final drama. : . i - :t " Hnry Wallace, if ice president, who is tour ing j South America, told an audience there should be international control of finance; but he! didn't embarrass his hosts by asking when theyf were going Ito pay up on the mountain of paper they floajted in this country after the last jwar. South America shouldn't take Henry to4 seriously, even'j if he does flatter their ego byj talking Spanis'; the USA doesn't. i j Looking Again at '44 By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE j WASHINGTON jf The congressional r v o 1 1 against the Roosevelt administration, coupled with fourth-term talk. Is furnishing fuel for a hot battle ofjballots in 1944.1 ! Although the presidential election is some 20 months away, long-range political forecasters al ready are picking ithe better bets, as of now, for major party nomination. j As rated by neutral observers here, the "big fouih in the current parade of presidential possi bilities are: i J i Democrats Franklin D. Roosevelt and James Byrnes. ii j Republicans WendeU WiUkie and Gov. John W.Brickerof Ohio.v l Most of these' observers agree that unless, or until, the President definitely makes known that he doesn't choose to run, he ranks as the leading democratic prospect. They say that despite wide spread democratic insurrection against his home front agencies, and opposition to a fourth term, he will remain the No 1 man of his party if the war continues through1 1944. The stock of 1 Economic Stabilizer "Jimmie" Byrnes, former supreme court justice and senator, as a possible nominee has risen considerably in re cent weeks. I f j The "assistant president" is on good terms with anti-New Deal southern congressmen. He is re garded as the best man to heal a breach that has led to talk of formation of a third party by oldline democrats if an attempt is made to nominate a "typical New Dealer" or even the President him self, f. . On the republican side, Willkie is still consid ered "the man to. beat for the standard-bearing' honor. Although his backing of Roosevelt's strong pre-war foreign policy made him unpopular in some republican quarters, his "nonpartisan broad mindedness' strengthened his hold on other GOP voters and won him friends among democrats and independents. V 1 i ' Brick er-f or-president talk has been on the in crease. Friends of the Ohio governor have been boosting him quietly among influential republicans in other states as "just the man for 1944" an ef ficient administrator with a record of reducing in debtedness and cracking down on "political para sites". He is popular with the farmers In Ohio, a suite with a large electoral vote. Bricker is not a nationally-known political fig ure. He . has, however, a farm-boy-makes-good background and the characteristics to fit a cam paign build-up as k "safe and sound friend of the people without any boondoggling folderol." The governor, who makes a handsome platform . ap pearance, has not flipped his fedora into the presi dential arena, but he is considered a 'receptive candidate. ' ' - . ; ' . Gen. Douglas MacArthur could turn out to be the OOP's White Knight of 1944. He has great popularity as a war hero, but if the war is still go ing on next yearf it's very unlikely that he would leave the army. j ; ; . 4 - Governor Dewey of New' York would be rated second to none among, republican possibilities if he hadnt said he was out of the race. Senator Taft of Ohio and Senator Vandenberg of Michigan also have declared they were not in the contest Minne sota's promising" young Gov. Harold Stassen is resigning this spring to enter the navy,' and war duties may keep him out of the 1944 picture. , When the President picked Henry Wallace as his runninj mate in 1940, there was speculation that he was grooming him for the White House. Wallace's chances for the nomination, observers say, have been Weakened by farm bloc hostility to administration war measures affecting agriculture. 1 i These . measures came after Wallace left the agriculture department, but these observers say the voters are inclined to associate him with any New ; Deal farm policies. Another handicap for the Iowan is his reputed lack of poHtical "oomph. Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt has been a democratic presidential prospect since short ly after Mr. Roosevelt's second election in 1938, but congress has been lambasting his manpower pol icies. Supreme Court' Justice William O. Douglas has also ben considered a Possibility for some time.
