Pointing out that "both maintenance and repair in war are usually done in nature's hangars, under all sorts of adverse climatic conditions," Kearney continued: "The original spares list and quantities may have been excellent, but it did not anticipate that a supply ship might be lost, and whereafter the crates could not be found."

The northern operators said that an "annual wage guarantee" was impossible because of the delays in replacing damaged and destroyed able that the mines would operate six days a week.

A. National Service Life Insurance is originally issued as a five-year level premium term policy. It may be continued on that basis after the man is discharged from service, at no increase in premiums, or, at any time after the policy has been in effect for one year, it may be converted either to an ordinary life, 20-payment life or 30-payment life policy. The premium for thos policies is, of course, higher than for the term policy. The amount of insurance may be reduced at any time.
