compensation and indemnification for

passed Measures are being consid

definite steps were taken of July 2.
when Secretary McAdoo called a con
ference of the life Insurance compan
ies of the United States to consider
plans to this end. The conference
was attended by representative of
the war. navy, and commerce de
partments and the council of nation
al defense. After a prolonged discus
sion, the Insurance men voted al
most unanimously that the Insurance
and indemnification of the soldier
and sailors should be undertaken by
the government. The preparation of
necessary legislation was begun im
mediately. On July 13 Samuel Oompers. chair
man of the committee on labor of the
council of national defense, appoint
ed Judge Julian W. Mack. United
States circuit court of Chicago, chair
man of the section on compensation
for soldiers and sailors and their
dependents. Judge Mack will work

Mr Edwin F. Sweet assistant sec
retary of commerce, on July 14 made
the following statement regarding
the Insurance of the fighting forces
of the nation.
It is possible at this time to sug
geit the general outlines of a plan
for consideration and constructive
criticism I believe there should be
created In connection with one of the
existing executive departments of
the government a soldiers' and sail
ors' Indemnity bureau, with a com
petent man of insurance experIen-
at its head; that the necessary actu
arial and clerical assi.itance should be
provided; that protection should be
provided; that protection for a defi
nite amount, not exceeding $4 000
should be automatically furnished to
even-one in the military and naval
service of the United .States, without
regard to rank and without expense
to the Insurel; that such insurance
or protection should cover partial
and total disability as well as death;
that no medical examination should
be required that necessary for ad
mission Into the service; that all
losses should be paid In regular In
stallments; that all adjustments
should be made with the least possi
ble delay; and that a limit, analogous
to statutes of limitation, should be
fixed for the correction of records
and the presentation of claims.
As concrete evidence of the gov
ernment's obligation a certificate or
policy might well be given to each
soldier and sailor. This would ma
terially add to Its moral Influence.
In addition to the protection thus
furnished to all engaged In war-service,
I think the same bureau should
be authorized to furnish death and
casualty benefits or protection to sol
diers and sailors to the amount of
$6000 to one individual, upon terms
a sfavorable as In times of peace.
From the experience of the bureau
of war risk insurance It is conceiv
able that this can be done by the
government without material loss.
The funds that a private corporation
applies to commissions, medical-ex
amination fees, advertising, etc -,
would be available by the govern
ment for the payment of losses But '
If loss should result, a proper recog- I
nitlon of the obligation conferred
upon the general public by the de
fenders of their country demands !
that it should be met by the govern- j
ment and thus fall upon all who re-
celve the benefit of the service ren- j
dered rather than upon those who j
render it f
