| INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE

" TITANIO.”

THE SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS

From The Times of the 24th ult we take the following:-

THỂ HỒNG KÔNG DAILY PENNS THURSDAT MAY 16m 1932.

The London Marine Insurance Market, which deservedly distinguished itself by its immediate settlement of the heavy claims when the Oceana was wrecked, is now promptly settling the far more sarioas loss in the case of the Titanic. Bome underwriters at Lloyd's and com- panies have already paid the loss; others will be paying in the course of a few days, the exact date on which payment is made being marely dependent on routine. Thus one company pays on Friday for all the losses passed and approved on the previous Monday, and therefore a claim accepted yesterday will not in the ordinary course of events be paid until the end of next week. Unfortunately, from the brokere' point of view, there is nothing to delay the settlement of the claim; in the case of the Oceana payment might well have been deferred for a week or ao in view of the salvage oporations, now being successfully, though slowly, carried out, but there is a prospect of salvage in the case of the Titanic. Not to mention the insurances on general and all cargo, securities, jewelry, varieties of personal belongings, the best part of a million sterling is now being found by the British insurance markets, assisted by the Continent and the United States. The owners of the Titanic will

though, no doubt, some time will elapse for her before they will want to pay successor, it is generally assumed that they were uninsured to the extent of between £500,000 and £780,000.

THE REASONS FOR LARGE LINES.

One result of the knowledge that very large insurances, wore effected in connes tion with the Titanic has been a very natural desire on the part of certain companies to disclaim any deep financial interest. The ball seems to have been set. relling at the recent meeting of a great composite ofice, where the underwriter was congratulated on having only a com paratively trifling amount on the hull and cargo about £7,000 it was said. Bince then it appears that the telephones of the great offices have been kept busy. with messages from shareholders anxious- Ay inquiring the position, some of the inquirers apparently being under the impression that half the foundations of the offices were about to be removed and that consequently the solidarity of the structures was in question. Such a sup- position in the case of strong insurance

is no doubt that at least some under writers now admit they made a mistake, but it was a mistake shared apparently by the builders of the Titanic, the owners, and by some hundreds of passengers and crew until within a few minutes of their death.
