At the recent meeting of the National Mutual Life Society, the Chairman, Mr. J. Maynard Keynes, had a very excellent position to lay before the members of that Society. As was shown in the recent report, - holders of Participating Policies obtained a substantial bonus addition to their policies for last year, and it is clear from Mr. Keynes' remarks that this bonus was thoroughly consistent with the conservative printiples governing the operations of the Mutual Life Society. After paying it, a sum of about £64,000 was left for strengthening, the position in various _ways, while the. carry-forward was. increased. to the very large total of 2596,000, so that,-as the chairman stated, the Society is in an exceptionally 'strong position to meet any possible depreciation in security values.
