Insurance "Interstate Commerce
In two decisions "016" supreme court ruled
first that , the insurance business is interstate
commerce, and second, that, as such. is. subject
to the Sherman anti-trust law. The first de
cision was unanimous with Mr. Justice Roberts
not participating. The second was four to three,
with Justices Reed and Roberts not participat
ing. The'former case was against a Polish fra
ternal insurance organization and held it was
subject to the Wagner labor relations act. The
latter case was one which has held the attention
of the insurance fraternity for months, coming
up on charges in indictments against 196 stock
fire insurance companies and 27 individuals
forming the Southeastern j Underwriters' as
sociation. The decision overruled one of T3 .years
standing. f 1 '!"'. '1,
; That insurance is now interstate in character
is hardly to be denied in view of the trend of
decisions and the nature of the business. But
to make it subject to federal regulation is to fnrrn-ir Vnlntn
r.ir,itat- th business into disorder and ex- ""ncy volume
treme complication. Chief Justice Stone had
nies.it was largely the guilt of individual com :
panies and not ! the general sin of the whole
business.' And these evil have been pretty well j,
cleaned up. it may De asserted that insurance
premiums are too high, or hat company profits j
are too large, but the field is still highly com-J
petitive, and some companies are marginal, the
same as in other types: of business. Moreover
federal regulation is no assurance of cost re
duction. That hasn't been? true of railroads.
It is very doubtful if congress Will pass lawsH
to establish federal regulation of insurance. I
While it may not go so iaras to pass the pend-1
ing bill exempting insurance companies from
the Sherman act, it will be slow to set up a
new regulatory agency. For a long time to come
the states will J continue Jto handle insurance
regulation, though laws, o? customs calling forf
rate uniformity will be banned under the de-1
cision of Monday. .."'

this in mind when he said in his dissent that the
opinion
"canot fail to be the occasion for loosing a
; flood of litigation and legislation. State and
j national. In order to establish a new boundary
between State .and national powers, raising
: questions which cannot be answered for years
to come, during which a great business and
the regulatory officers of every State must be
harnessed . by all the doubts and difficulties
inseparable from a realignment of the distri-
bution of power in our federal system.
These considerations might well stay a
; 1 reversal of long-established doctrine which
:: promises so little of advantage and so much
' 'of harm." ' ; '
j The insurance business has been under state
regulation for many decades. It, along with
banking, was the first business to have the hand
of government laid on it for control in the pub-1
lie interest. The immediate occasion for regu- j
lation was the frequent failure of insurance7
companies to meet their obligations. This was
due to bad operating practices, to bad invest
ments or to vicious rate-cutting. Under stats
regulations companies are required to main
tain proper reserves against, their liabilities,
nd their investments are limited to conserva
tive types. While insurance rates in the so-called
! board companies are uniform, there is stiff
competition -from non-board companies and
from mutual companies. If it be claimed that
insurance rates are too high, it must also be
admitted that . insurance companies have a
i splendid record of , meeting their loss j claims,
i State regulation, has- tended, tin the direction
I of rate uniformity rather than diversity through
i competition, on the theory thai -rate-cutting
leads to impairment of company solvency. If
, now the federal decision upsets the whole struc
( ture of insurance and provokes cutthroat cora-
petition then in the end the policy-holders may
suffer. . v. M v-V Syi .;

. Guarded and laftmic official reports from al
lied invasion headquarters brought cheering word
from' the Normandy beachheads as the second day
of the second front in Europe ended.
All landing beaches had been cleared, it was
stated, although seme still were under enemy ar
tillery fire; and linkdng-up operations had' been
carried out successfully at some points. The con
solidation of a wide coastal breach in the. vaunted
nazi west wall of fortress Europe evidently was
proceeding unchecked by stiffening German re
sistance aloft and on the ground. '
That is the essential first step toward whatever
nay be the next allied objective. The Anglo
American forces in Trance need elbow room to
muster the men and equipment for their follow-up
of the coastal breakthrough. By nazi ac
count the breach already extends from the western
coast of-the Cherbourg foreland of Normandly
to the wide Seine mouth south of LeHavre, a good
100 miles airline. v . j
- The reticence of allied heakuarters to give
out much detail is significant It Indicates that
General Eisenhower -and his staff believe the foe
still confused and Uncertain 1 as to the strategic
conception underlying the allied attack in Nor
mandy, still doubtful that it is not in part, at
least, a feint in force designed to pave the way for

But the Germans naturally would want to wait
to see whether this Normandy landing developed
into our real attack before pushing their reserves
into the fray. Their armies, have been held far back!
from the coast at strategic road junctures to mee
the real battle in any direction presented. It was
three days after our easy; landing: at Salerno that
we ran into near annihilation- in an ambush."
There can be no doubt ithat we achieved a cerl
tain amount of tactical surprise. Their radio did
not broadcast the news of the invasion until 12:40
a. Il, EWT. After our airborne troops actually had
landed. If the Germans had not been deceived, they
would have spread the alarm the moment our ships
left England to journey three or more hours across

"Germany. ' " ' , '
There have been reports of furious fighting; on
the Cherbourg; peninsula and that emphasizes one
'aspect of the. selection of Normandy as the scene
ofithe invasion, whatever the real allied purpose
In picking the Normandy, beaches, it cannot be
doubted that Cherbourg and its docks and water
side facilities are an important item.
' Despite probable nazi demolitionsCherbourg
harbor in allied hands would serve to quicken the
massing of powerful' forces fully equipped in
France. Big ships could make fast turn-around trips
from England to its docks. Allied air mastery would
keep them relatively safe from nazi air attacks.
The value of Cherbourg and Its rail and road
system inshore as well as its docks and unloading
equipment to major allied' operations against Paris
' Is obvious. That is jast as true of LeHavre and to
a lesser extent of Caen. l--"r -v - '-ML-

' Coupled with continued' absence In force ot the I

That we were coming however was no surprise I
to anyone. Indeed, thisitas the most highly ad-1

history, and achieved Its deception only in the
confusion of over-advertising. Also it was the
r most fully reported ot imilitaryj actions, though
not by General Eisenhower, who communiques
were wisely terse and uncommunicative. .
. Also, we hit at the best spot geographically for
continental invasion. Yoti may recall reading in
this column April 12: f' y, ' - j
