From inquiries made by the Kvriii.nr/ Post it appears that Australian and New Zealand life and accident insurance offices are making no extra profit on policies taken out before the war. That is to say, if a man was insured for '£loo and his premium was £3 per annum, he will pay that premium still and no more, notwithstanding the risk he runs of losing his life in action and the risk the office runs. All policies that have been taken out since the war began, however, pay a war risk premium in addition to the ordinary premium. This varies, and some offices are charging up to £lO 10s per cent.
