Feb. 14. (By Canadian Press.) The generous pension policy ot the Oennan Reich, which has caused numerous political battles in the Reich stag and has drawn fire from foreign countries on the ground that such a drain on the treasury Impairs Germany's ability to pay reparations. Is again stirring the parties of the Left. The budget for 1837 reveals that 17.5 per cent, of all governmental expendW tures. excluding reparations. Is to be paid out of pensions of one kind or another, a total of about 12.000,000.000. TJie pension load equals 70 per cent, of all payments. Including reparations, which Oermany Is making as sequel to losing the war. More than 57.000 former clrlllan officials. 36.900 army and navy officers, who senred under the former Emperor and the Republic are drawing as much as $8,000 a year each. War casualties supported In whole or part number 763.660 to which are added 370.981 war widows: 917.000 orphans; 258.163 parents of the war dead; 31.000 widows of government officials and 8.700 or phans.

YritS DAILY MKvfa ANNUAL REPORT OF SUN LIFE CO. HOCIJIENT TKLLN OI' ItKCORII .MADE UIIICII AKE lillEATKST ' VET . j The Sun Life Assurance Company of 'Canada continues to eclipse It own transcendent records. At the annual meeting for 1927 which has Just been held. President T. B. Macaulay was able to report that the total business paid for In 1926 amounted to i 265.889,-548. double that of 1924 only two years ago. The assurances In force now exceed one and a quarter billions of dollars. The Sun Life has become much more than the greatest Canadian company. It U one of the leading Life Insurance companies of the world. Its growth Is equally arresting whether compared with lu own record or with the totals of insurance on this continent The Increase of Its business at rUk In 192S Is greater than the enure business carried by the Sun Life at the outbreak of the war. It has now more business In force than the total Ufe assuranct in force In all Canada, with all companies. Canadian and foreign, when war mas declared. Latest reports Indicate that the general increase In life In-rurance secured during 1926 in the United States and Canada Is six per cent in excess of 1925. The Sun Life's Increase for the year Is 37H Pr cent. Fully keeping step with this great access of business, the assets ot the Company have Increased during the past tweke months by 842.195.000. swelling the total to $345,251,000. The Company's assets have multiplied fire times In the last twelve years. Not tne least gratifying portion of the report Is the fine showing ot business written within the Dominion. Here again a new record Is established for Canada In a massave aggregate ot 1102,-000.000 ot paid assurances. The Sun life Company is aa old as the Dominion. But It has greater claims to Canadian pride than that. It Is today one of the foremost of the small group of great Canadian financial institutions which are making Canada famous.
