There
are
many
complications
Involved
in
bringing
such
a
scheme
into
existence.
Every
factor
(usually
taken
into
account
in
considering
Insurance
risks
Is
absent.
Insurance
circles
say
that
beyond
the
fact
stressed
by
Mr.
Churchill
that
damage
so
far
has
been
substantially
less
than
had
been
anticipated
there
is
nothing
on
I
which
to
base

estimate

the
ultimate
cost.

Is

is
to

given
to
the

What
the
premium
Is
likely
to
be
and
how
It
Is
to
be
collected
have
been
matters
of
considerable
discussion
between
the
Treasury
and
representatives
of
the
leading
insurance
companies,
building
societies
and
property
owning

The
