REDUCES SHIP INSl K WCK
RATES
Ou November 23 Secretary of th
Treasury McAdoo anuounced tha
the rate6 of insurance of the Bu
re*u of War Risk Insurance of th<
Treasury Department on all Ameri
c»u steamers and cargoes traversini
the war zone were reduced fron
6 per cent to 4 percent.
This is the second reduction o|
these insurance rates, the first be
In* cm October 6, l?17. when the
rate waa reduced from t> u per cent
to J per cent <
*lhe neir reduction was made for
tue same reason as the first —
that ifl, because of a correspond
ing decrease in the risk involved
•a traversing the war zone.
TDU is official recognition of the
fact t&at since tbe American des
troyers and other war vessels have
gone on dut£ «n the war zone the
danger from enemy submarines hast
greatly decreased. The decrease
from 6 $4 Per cent to 4 per
cent Is approximately 40 per cent
*ud speaks convincingly of the ef
ficiency of the American Navy.
Oae great function that the Lib
erty Loan has performed is :q ren
der this ship insurance possible,
under the Protection of which hun
dreds ©I millions of dollars in Am
«r)c*n commerce has been enabled
