Answer:

Using business or financial terms, Senator Norris stated that American labor force as American citizens were insurance policies to the money that the U.S. had given to the Allies.

Explanation:

An insurance policy is a "formal contract-document issued by an insurance company to an insured. It (1) puts an indemnity cover into effect, (2) serves as a legal evidence of the insurance agreement, (3) sets out the exact terms on which the indemnity cover has been provided, and (4) states associated information such as the (a) specific risks and perils covered, (b) duration of coverage, (c) amount of premium, (d) mode of premium payment, and (e) deductibles, if any.

The former speech paragraph explains what did he mean by insurance policies:

"We have loaned many hundreds of millions of dollars to the Allies in this controversy. While such action was legal and countenanced by international law, there is no doubt in my mind but the enormous amount of money loaned to the Allies in this country has been instrumental in bringing about a public sentiment in favor of our country taking a course that would make every bond worth a hundred cents on the dollar and making the payment of every debt certain and sure. Through this instrumentality and also through the instrumentality of others who have not only made millions out of the war in the manufacture of munitions, etc., and who would expect to make millions more if our country can be drawn into the catastrophe, a large number of the great newspapers and news agencies of the country have been controlled and enlisted in the greatest propaganda that the world has ever known to manufacture sentiment in favor of war."

Hi there!

From what what this question is saying it sounds like that the Americans being used as "insurance policies to guarantee the safe delivery of munitions"  must mean that the Americans were to insure safe transport of the munitions of war from location to location. So, Senator Norris must mean that the munitions of war are guaranteed safe transport by American citizens used as insurance policies.

How do Kenyans living in the city support one another?
coldgirl [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The people of the Kenyan cities make trades with each other in order to support one another.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The fact that cooperation is mandatory in order to achieve development of all has been taken seriously by the people of Kenyan cities. That is why, the people of Kenya put major emphasis on domestic trading  amongst themselves.
  • The economy of Kenya is majorly reliant on the domestic trade that takes place in its cities. Hence, it can be said that the macroeconomic structure of Kenya is a result of simple microeconomic machineries functioning within the country.
  • Training amongst each other has helped the Kenyan society achieve higher levels of social integrity.

How did the unstable economy in the 1920s contribute to the Great Depression?
Sophie [7]
In the 20's the U.S. was trying "to be the world's banker, food producer, and manufacturer, but to buy as little as possible from the world in return." This attempt to have a constant favorable trade balance wouldn't succeed for long. The U.S. maintained high trade barriers to protect American business, but the U.S. wouldn't buy from our European counterparts, so there's no way for them to buy from the Americans, or pay interest on U.S. loans. The weakness of the international economy certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Europe was reliant upon U.S. loans to buy U.S. goods, and the U.S. needed Europe to buy these goods to prosper. By the year 1929, 10% of American gross national product went into exports. When the foreign countries became no longer able to buy U.S. goods, U.S. exports fell 30% overnight. That $1.5 billion of foreign sales lost between 1929 to 1933 was fully one-eighth of all lost American sales in the early years of the depression.
