Social Security FactsSE Tgp nee aur i 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in old age insurance payments to increase the purchasing power of the workers, $197 of sorely needed purchasing r were withdrawn from it and spent for other ‘purposes up to March, 1938.”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 andling of Social Security reserve funds has not been such as 0 instill confidence, and the operation of the Act, from a in all such New Deal efforts——Contributed. —. nian of Social Security faring after three years of operation? The answer is to be found in an. analysis of the success of the Social Security Act by the Am-. erican Association for Social Security, Inc., and in-:the United sum paid out, the statement shows that in actual cash the govThe accounting of the unemployment trust fund, set up by the same Act, shows that as of June 30, 1938, the states. of the United States deposited $!,058,220,907 in the United . . States Treasury as their collections from the workers of the! nation. Subsequently, the states withdrew $101,975,000 to pay unemployment claims. Again, despite the enormous de-. _., It seems obvious that criticisms leveled at the reserve . fund principle by Republicans are justified. Obviously, the. government has appropriated to other purposes the major por. tion of the moneys collected from the payrolls of the nation . originally intended for old age and unemployment security. Theoretically, of course, the New Deal system of bookkeeping shows that a considerable amount of moneys lies in both the unemployment trust furid and the old age benefit fund. It is, however, in Treasury I. O. U.’s. It is as though a person. with $10 to his name would spend the $10 and put an I. O. U. for $10 in his pocket and delude himself into thinking In the words of the Social Security Association, “It may . _ €xecutive staff and board of directors whose interest in effic-. . ‘love it, so there! all—_ YOU PAY A TAX! ernment costs in the future. 1 } be convinced—that whatever —Contributed. said a man the other day, ‘“‘Nor me,” his companien replied. “‘I’m not in business. 1 don’t own any property.

For suddenly a sound mind has become a crime in Europe, a crime to be expiated in a concentration camp or before a firing squad. Thinking has become an error, a fault to be Questioning has become a vice, a habit to be blood in a A sound mind in a sound body!
