Democracy Is Not Certain Says Canadian Official
New York December remarks by Canadian finance minister Charles A. Dunning warn that democracy may decay if its foundations are neglected. At the Association of Life Insurance Presidents convention he voiced caution that confidence in institutions must be continually renewed. He noted shared origins of governance with the United States and Canada and emphasized the need to remember fundamentals. Gerard Nollen of Bankers Life presided, citing life insurance near 110 billion dollars by 1937 and about 64 million citizens insured. Virginia’s George A. Bowles highlighted state supervision’s role, while actuaries study new mortality and mortgage loan uniformity to keep the industry healthy.
