Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

United States-has (or had) many mis-
.guided pacifists, who wishfully believe (or
belIeved) that voting against preparation
for war will preserve peace; also many
more who hope (or hoped) that they them-
selves could keep or receive what would
otherwise be spent on defense preparations.
Still more dangerous to national welfare
and security are those voters who are un-
able or unwilling to support themselves.
There is always the risk tha t those who
think they have nothing to lose under exist-
ing conditions, will support any change,
however revolutionary - unless "squared"
by the party-in-power. Yet such voters may
often decide a general election, and thus
determine domestic and foreign policy-to
the detriment of all, especially themselves.
On the other hand, the party-in-power,
choosing what seems the lesser of two evils,
may try to win such votes by unwise or
improper unemployment compensation and
otherwise. If such reprehensible efforts are
made and fail, both evils together with an
evil precedent are imposed on the nation.
To summarize:
Despite the outstanding merits of the
British people, their appalling dive in haif-
a-century, from world-leadership to a des-
perate struggle for existence, suggests cry-
ing deficiencies in those who choose them
as well as in those who are chosen to con-
duct national and international affairs. In-
deed, Britain's past dominance (which she
is retrieving with "blood, toil, tears and
sweat") is a fair measure of her present re-
sponsibility for the disastrous failure of the
world's statecraft, and the resultant status
of this war-torn world.
The conclusion seems inescapable that
Britain should revise her present democra-
tic practices, with especial view to the re-
creation of a quality of political control
worthy of her outstanding administrative,
and executive organizations-born of the
successful development of self-government
in all portions of her empire.

Bond Drive in January
WASHINGTON, D. C.-There will be no
more bond drives this year, but there may
be another during January, says Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau. He made this
statement in revealing that the government
has borrowed $51,800,000,000 since January
1st.
Returns from the Third War Loan drive
exceeded $18,000,000,000 .although the goal
was $15,000,000,000.

PERATORS, - like any other business
organiza tion, require Insurance Protec-
tion. And like any other business the ques-
tion is "What Insurance shall I carry?"
The answer is simple. The building of
an insurance program, just like a building,
starts with the foundation coverage. The
foundation coverage is the one which pro-
tects the most and in its absence permits
largest possible loss exposure. That cover-
age is Liability Insurance, the 'principal
sections of which, depending upon the indi-
vidual operator's exposures, are:
A-Location caused injuries.
B-Shop caused injuries.
C-Equipment caused injuries.
D-Rolling stock caused injuries.
Next in importance, if one or more per-
sons are employed, is Workmen's Com-
pensation Insurance. Failure to carry for
thirty days after employing one or more
persons is a misdemeanor besides Civil
liability.
Next in importance are several cover-
ages of about equal importance, depending
upon operators circumstances, obligations,
and dependents. Personal Bodily Injury,
Life, Fire, Earthquake, etc., on main prem-
ise and residence, Auto Direct Damage,
Equipment Fire and/or Fire and Theft,
Transportation, Bonds on Employees, etc.
No business, unless it has enormous re-
sources, can afford to carry its own risk as
one sizable loss can far exceed 20 or 30
years' premiums and what well balanced
individual would assume the risk of an In-
surance Company for 20 or 30 years for
the few dollars annual premium at which
he can transfer the load to' the Insurance
Company's shoulders.
The present tax situation has caused
many former large self-insurers to buy In-
surance, one of the largest of which is the
United States Steel Corporation, who de-
cided it was better to pay premiums than
to carry their own risk. We know some of
the operators have, and are, making some
real money but are hardly in the financial
class of the United States Steel . Corpora-
tion. Therefore, it behooves the wise opera-
tor, to examine his Insurance holdings care-
fully and see that he is fully covered and
protected, on the various risks which might,
in a split second, rob him of his business
and savings.
