London, Jan. 30.—Premier Itamsay MacDonald, head of Great Britain's new labor government, has made ov ertures to France for new rules strengthening the entente cordiale, it was learned this afternoon. It was the labor governments answer In face of accusations by laborite lead ers that France is militaristic and is sowing the seeds of future discord in Europe. Premier MacDonald and Premier Poincare, of France, have ex changed letters, the former stat ing that the differences be tween the two countries are caus ing unrest and should he settled with out delay. Great Britain, MacDonald said, is willing to meet France half way in solving the problems trou bling the two powers. Premier Poincare immediately re plied in a conciliatory tone opening the way for a conference.

The activities which the premier foreign secretary is showing in set tling home and foreign problems is astounding friends and enemies alike.

Severity-Ninth Annual Statement TO THE POLICY-HOLDERS! A* a policy-holder you are chiefly interested in the quality of your Company and in the service ll renders. By ‘‘quality’’ I mean the character of its business; the grade of its securities; the standards maintained by its Executive Officers. I can not paint a complete picture, but in order to drive home some of the truth I give yos below a picture of the work of one Committee during the year 1923. During 1923 the Finance Committee made the following investments: BONDS PURCHASED Bondi Bought Coat Arersge YUM U. S. Government Treasury Notes.. $11,013,860.00 4 65% Domestic Railroad Bonds . • 13,569,960.00 5.44% Domestic Municipal Bonds. 4.050.912.00 *>.02% Domestic Public Utility Bonds. 9,216,5%.00 5 49% Canadian Municipal Bonds . 494,700.00 5.24% British and Other Foreign Bonds .1. 5,470,312.00 5 14% Total. $43,816,340.00 5.17% BOND AND MORTGAGE LOANS MADE City Loans. $59,262,432.00 5 81% Residential Loans. 10,002,094.00 5.80% Farm Loans . 18,097,561.00 5.38% Total. $87,362,087.00 5.72%, Bonds bought and B. & M.

The Committee believed It ■aw an opportunity to benefit you through selling and reinvesting, without risk, in order to increase the earning power of invested assets. They therefore sold Bonds amounting to (par value) $44,845,459.29 during the year, of which $33,182,900.00 were United States Government Bonds. By this process, and by transferring certain foreign bonds, in reinsuring foreign business, they increased the earning power of Ledger .Assets by over $1,000,000.00 annually for an average of nine years. We sold Government Bonds 1st. Because our holdings were proportionately too large in Peace days $120,000,000 par'l 2d. Because we could sell at a profit; 3d. Because thereby earning power could be increased and the cost of your insurance reduced.
