AIR-RAID DAMAGE
PROPERTY INSURANCE BILL
MEASURE KEENLY AWAITED
(British Official Wireless.) (Received October 15, noon.) RUGBY, October 14. Great interest is being taken here in the expected publication this week of the Property Insurance Bill, which follows Mr. Churchill's recent statement that "everyone should be assured that compensation for loss of home or place of business will be paid to him in one form or another at the end of the war, if not sooner, and that where the necessity arises in the intervening period the means of carrying on will not be with- j held." j
The weekly Press warmly welcomes the announcement, the "Economist" saying that the decision to allow insurance against risks to property is a very welcome change of mind, as reluctance to consider such a scheme before was based on muddled thinking.
The "Economist," however, adds a warning that the Bill will obviously be a severe test of the skill of the drafters, and that it is of the utmost importance that the measure should be allowed adequate time for Parliamentary discussion.
