against loss by enemy action the government of canada by act of parliament has set up a plan of war risk insurance against damage to property caused by enemy action by countermeasures taken against the enemy by explosions of war munitions handled by third parties in terms of general information it may be stated that the plan provides a certain limited free compensation for damage to owneroccu pied homes and to chattels but the main feature of the plan is that owners of most types of property can protect their property by pur chase of government war risk insurance at very moderate rates this type of war risk insurance is not being sold today by private insurance companies because of the risk involved consequently the government has established a national scheme to make it possible for each citizen in canada to purchase the sense of security that comes from knowing that if his property does suffer war damage and the war has come much closer to canada in the last twelve months he can call on the resources of canada to help him make good his property loss how to obtain government war risk insurance the fire insurance agents and companies of canada have volunteered to the government the services of their extensive facilities and personnel on a nonprofit basis thus avoiding the setting up of the large organiza tion that otherwise would be needed to handle details of this nationwide government war risk insurance scheme your fire insurance agent or company will gladly supply complete details of this government insurance plan this announcement is published m tbtu
