TELI,S OF WOHli OF AVAIt ItlMv JICRKAr j In part the speaker said: "When the war risk Insurance act became ef fective on October f,. ;?17, the War Bisk I Insurance Bureau -was confronted not only with the task of Immediately i providing with the disbursement of ?ii lotmon 13 anrl allowances to the families and dependents of 1.S50.000 soldiers and sailors, and tho additional problem of making immediate pro vision for the adjudication and pay ment of death or disability claims arising from a group of 2,con oon in dividual risks, but also the problem of writing not less than 51.000 and not more than $10,000 of life and perma nent total disability insurance upon a possible M00.000 men. all of whom must be canvassed and Insured if at all within a period of four months. "I think that it will be agreed that this presented the largest and gravest problem of 'getting the business on the hooks, as Insurance men say, that ever confronted an Insurance organ ization. and it should be remembered that this emergency task was imposed upon an organization not then in existence, but which must be created and organized. Before the work of writing the insurance could be begun, it was necessary to determine and publish the tertns and conditions or the insurance contract and promulgate the premium rates. This was dono six days after the act became a law." KTI3AT)Y l'l lit IIASKS MADK nv SOI.I>h;il?
