War Damage
Bill - S. 2198
The War Damage E'.H, first
called the War K sk Insurance
Bill, S. 2198. finally passed both
houses and us before the Presi
dent for his signature. As so en
acted, it is substantially the same
form as passed by the House, al
though some, changes were mad*'
: in conference. Under the Act,
war damage insurance will be
continued, in effect without the
payment of premiums until some
future date to be announced by
the Secretary of Commerce, After
that date, anyone desiring war
risk nr war damage insurance
must pay the premium fixed by
the Secretary of Commerce. No
one knows yet what thus pre
mium will be, but it has been
suggested that it may be $1 per
$1000 of the value of the pro
perty insured. Facilities will pro
bably be arranged through com
mercial insurance companies to
write the war damage insurance
as a part of ordinary insurance
policies, or separately, and the
loss will probably be adjusted
through such private insurance
companies. However, if the pro
perty owner does not take out
the policy and pay the premium
after the date fixed by the Secre
t.ary of Commerce he will not be
eligible to receive any compen
sation for property destroyed by
war hazards. The date after
which premiums must be paid
will be given plenty of publicity
so all persons can act according
ly. Under this bill, as finally
passed, it is provided that the
insurance premiums shall be uni
form, which means that property
in a particularly exposed posi
tion, for example property in
Hawaii or on the coasts of the
country, will not bear any high
er premium than property situ
ated in a less hazardous location.
Under this bill, real and per
sonal property may be insured
against war loss as to property
“situated in the United States
(including the several states and
the District of Columbia), the
Philippine Islands, the Canal
Zone, the territories and posses
sions of the United States, and
at such other places as may be
determined by the President to
be under the control of tire
United States,” and “to such pro
perty in transit between any
points located in any of the fore
going,” and “to all bridges be
tween the United States and Can
ada and between the United
States and Mexico.” Further pro
vision is made, “that such pro
tection shall not be applicable
after the date determined by the
Secretary of Commerce under
this subsection to property in
transit upon which the United
States Maritime Commission is
authorized to provide marine
war risk insurance.”
The last provision above quot
ed,with respect to marine war
risk insurance, was originally in
serted in the bill in the House at
