How is the New Deal
States Treasury daily statement.
The Treasury's statement of July 11, 1938, shows tha
of the same date $5,431,032.22 had been paid out to benefic
iaries but, despite the enormous sum collected and the smal
ernment has but $2,243,012 left.
246,812 is the cash reserve.
__he still had $10.
In short, what many people feared—that the government would collect the money for old age security and spend
it for something else—has indeed come to pass. The operation
of the Social Security Act presents an equally disheartening
picture. ——
be well to recall that the aim and purpose of the Act was not
“to set up a new method of taxation, to create a new bureau-cracy or to furnish jobs to tens of thousands of clerks, but to
_ provide a greater measure of security for the American wageearners and thereby to enhance the welfare of the nation as a
whole. Its sole aim was to relieve the needs of the unemployed, the aged and other dependents.
The American Association for Social Security has an
ient operation of the Social Security Act caanot be questioned. Abraham Epstein, one of the nation’s outstanding author‘ities.on social security legislation, is executive secretary, and
‘among the directors are John T. Flynn, Monsignor Francis J.
.-Haas,.Mary K. Simkhovitch, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and Arthur A. Ballantine, former Undersecretary of the Treasury.
A review of the Act published by the Association points
out that since the employer contributions are generally included in the price of goods, “it means that for every dollar
spent in old age insurance payments to increase the purchasing power of the workers, $197 of sorely needed purchasing
r were withdrawn from it and spent for other ‘purposes
up to March, 1938.” The Association points to a close relation between the present depression and the decline in mass
purchasing power resulting from the unnecessary funds plac_ed in future reserves. On another point, the Association says!
_ that during 1937 the national average of direct relief per per‘son was $23.43, “or almost $8.00 per month more than the
average unemployment insurance benefit.”
_._ “In view of these disclosures, is there any wonder that
despite the unemployment insurance checks the relief rolls
throughout the nation in the first quarter of 1938 increased,
rather than decreased,’’ the Association report said.
_ And in discussing the number of workers necessary to
operate the Act, the Association said that it took one insurance employee to every . ,000 insured workers in the United
States, or five times as many as it takes in Great Britain, beyeaking the cumbersome methods used by the Security
In conclusion, although, everyone is agreed that Social Security legislation is necessary, it would appear on a basis of the
y Deal Administration's own Treasury statement that the
