The risk is important because while it is by no means the biggest that has ever been placed, it is one of the biggest ever placed in the London market, and also because by the method adopted in covering the risk, it has been found possible to overcome some of the difficulties which exist lu,connection with the insurance of giant liners of high value. The actual insured value or of the vessel is £1,500,000, £100,000 less than that of the Mauretania, and £160,000 less than that of the N.D.L. liner Bremen, but it is said that the total amount covered on the whole risk is about £2,000,000, which is just about the known capacity of the. British market.
POLICY OF CO-OPERATION ADVOCATED.
"There is clearly no competition between overseas transport and internal transport, but there is necessarily co-operation between various transport agencies con- cerned in the handling of prac tically every ton of the country's imports and exports," said Mr. H.

Need For Special Treatment. This, of course, is a departure from the market custom by which T.L.O. Insurances are limited to 10 per cent. on disbursements and to whatever further amounts on freight premiums, and similar in- terests may be actually at risk, but it le believed that this has been done entirely to facilitate the com pletion of the risk and in recogni. tion of the fact that insurances in- volving very large amounts require special treatment. It is said to be the outcome of a theory evolved by a leading underwriter, who, in con- nection with discussions over the placing of big insurances in [general, suggested that under- 29th Mar, writers might be able to accept:
