Social Security Abroad
ThU nntinn noted last week the third anniversary of its
social security law. These three years have constituted an in
troductory period; aside from the immediate old age assist
ance provisions, designed in the law to be temporary pend
ing establishment of the old age insurance program, the op
eration of the law has not yet reached maturity. Large sums
have been paid in, little has been paid out in benefits. The
law has not yet undergone the practical test. I
On the other hand, various measures aimed at social se
'curity have been tried out in European countries for as long
as half a century. It was Bismarck, hard-headed realist who
ruled Germany as premier and built that nation up to the
greatness from which it fell in the World war, who instituted
the first modern social security laws in 1881 not from any
humanitarian motives but as a means of checking the spread
of socialistic doctrine and of consolidating the power of the
central government he had led in establishing, as opposed to
the autonomy of the several states. The so-called liberals of
. Bismarck's day saw through these motives and opposed the
reforms he advocated. !
. Sick and accident insurance was instituted in 1881, old
age insurance in 1889. Unemployment insurance is of later
- origin, but it has been in operation in France since 1905 ; by
1911 seven nations had such systems. Today there are com
pulsory unemployment insurance laws in at least nine, coun
tries and voluntary programs in ten others. J . ;
Americans in general know pr actically nothing of these
experiments, but the various programs are familiar to offi
cials in Washington, DC. . The various social security meas
ures here were introduced "as brand new ideas, "made in Am
erica" as the latest thinsr in humanitarian legislation, but as a
matter of fact they are composites of imilar laws in effect
abroad ; there is scarcely a new feature in them.
Space forbids an outline of the various systems, but they
have certain things in'common. There has been strenuous ob
jection in Oregon to the so-called "pauper's oath" in the old
age assistance law. In Europe this feature is more accurately
described as the "means test," and its stigma of pauperism
has been resented and fought in every country where old age
assistance or unemployment assistance has been provided.
The experience of all nations operating unemployment
insurance programs has been uniform in one respect; every
such system broke down during the depression; The reason is
not difficult to find. Since all of these systems were based
upon actuarial statistics similar to data governing life insur
ance rates, but in this case involving the average incidence
and duration of unemployment, in supposedly normal times,
they were not able to stand the strain of widespread, pro-
traded unemployment brought on by the depression.
These unemployment insurance systems limped through
the depression, in some instances, but only by abandoning
the strict actuarial principle; in other words by supplemen
tal support from general taxation. Now the question arises, if
the system is weak in that it will operate successfully only in
fair weather, what revisions are necessary to make it more
.seaworthy? . I
The Oregon law provides protection against bankruptcy
of the unemployment compensation fund by empowering the
commission which administers it to reduce benefit payments
when necessary, but that of course would impose a hardship
on the beneficiaries. . ! i ,
In every nation, the problem of including different indus
tries and types of employment under the act, and the problem
of duration of benefits, have proven difficult. In nearly all of
them casual farm laborers, domestic workers and white col
lar workers have been" left out for one reason or another,
whereas at least the first two of these groups are outstand
, ingly in need of social security.
The other features of social security are still in the ex
perimental stage abroad despite their longer establishment
there. In no country are they considered to have reached the
ultimate solution. This much has been established through
out most of the world as a result of the depression that the
public will take care of its unemployed, disabled and aged
citizens. With this primary question settled, it should be pos
sible dispassionately to "consider the remaining problems.
Moses on Soil Conservation
And the Lord spake unto Mowi In Mount Sinai. Baying,
Speak unto the children or Israel and eay onto them, when ye
come into the land which I lire 70a, then shall the land keep a
sabbath an to the Lord. i
Biz jrears thou shall sow thy field, and six years thou shalt
prune thy vineyard, and rather in the trait thereof; but In the
seventh year shalt be a sabbath of rest onto the land, a sabbath
-for the Lord; thou shalt neither sow thy land, nor prune thy
vineyard. That which groweth of Its own accord thou shalt not
reap, neither gather the (trapes of thy vine undressed; for it Is a
year of rest unto the land. . .
And ye shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of old fruit un
til the ninth year; until her fruits come In ye shall eat of the old
store. Leviticus -25: 1-5 and 22. J
We are disposed to think of soil conservation as rather
a new thing. Here we have evidence of its ancient origin; in
struction to the Children of Israel in a method of conserving
fertility which was no doubt suitable to the land they were to
occupy. The wheat fanners of eastern Oregon let the land lie
fallow every other year ; it is necessary therel In the prom
ised land of the Israelites, it was-only necessary to let the land
lie fallow every seventh year, with an extra year at the end of
each 50 years the year of jubilee. . j
These passages from Leviticus have been quoted recent
ly in defense of the agricultural administration's policy of
scarcity. Rather, they relate to conservation of fertility, and
provide a suggestion that varying practices toward that end
are necessary on different types of land something that ag
ricultural bureaucracy, in Washington, DC, often overlooks.
There is also this difference, that the instruction to the Is
raelites came from a divine source, relayed through; the Pro
phet Moses which scarcely can be claimed for the orders and
regulations that come out of Henry Wallace's office.
f p 1 .
Waspier Act Amendment
Two conflicting reports have come "out of the national
capital as to the possibility of labor law revision at the next
session of congress. First it was reported that the commission
which went to England to study the. labor Laws operating
there, had returned but that no recommendations would grow
out of its studies, the view being that conditions are so dif
ferent there that no comparisons were possible. The second
report was that William Green, president of the AFL, and
President Roosevelt were in accord upon some changes that
should be made in the Wagner act and that therefore, these
chancres had a good prospect of enactment, j t
There has been widespread agitation for some revision
of the 'Wagner act but the last congress ignored it; presum
ably as too hot a potato. If the AFL is agreed upon the na
ture of needed amendments, the outlook is better, although it
is safe to assume that the CIQ will look upon the proposals
with suspicion and probably with hostility.;
The supreme court through its decisions in Wagner act
cases, has already brought about some reform in the opera
tion of the labor relations board, at the same time upholding
the essential aims of the act. The principal labor troubles in
recent months have resulted from jurisdictional disputes, and
it is expected that the amendments to be proposed would at
least clarify the provisions which relate to this problem. La
bor will, of course, be on its guard against any amendments
which might curtail its privileges, and if anyone hopes that
any such changes will grow cut of the apparent accord be
tween the president and William Green, those hopes are vain.

fixed of who was? Joseph
McLoughlin, who; made ' first
motion on constitution and laws:
-m
(Concluding from Sunday:) In
side the stockade at Fort Van
couver were about 40 separate
buildings, of wood, excepting the
powder magazine, which was of
brick and atone. One of these was
the comfortable home of the chief
factor. Dr. John McLoughlin, with
nis xamily. .
On the bank of. the Columbia
river, near the fort, were more
than 50 houses for the mechanics
and servants, where their native
wives and half and quarter caste
children were au.-commodated. Also
the hospital, boat house, salmon
house, ana near by barns, gran
aries, tbresMng mills and dairy
buildings. In 1833. the population
of the fort, men, women and chil
dren was about 800.
That was the headquarters for
ZO posts besides, all of them-ex
cepting the one at Astoria and the
fort on the Um po.ua north of the
Columbia river. This is important
to remember, for it shows ; that
the heads of the Hudson's Bay
company had, in the years after
1SZ3-4, when Dr. McLoughlin took
charge in this domain, little or
no idea of Great Britain ever
possessing any land below that
"river of the west."
The reader has had article one
of the prpvieional government's
"constitution and laws." Section
I read:
"We, the people of Oregon
Territory, for purposes of mut
ual protection, and to secure
peace and prosperity among our
selves, agree to adont the fol
lowing laws and regulations, un
til such time as the United States
cif America extend their Jurisdic
tion over us. Be it therefore
enacted, by the free citizens of
Oregon Territory, that the said
territory, for purposes of tem
porary government, be divided
into not less than 3. nor more
than 5, districts; subject to be
extended to a greater number,
when an Increase of population
shall require It. For the pur
pose of fixing principles of civil
and religious liberty, as the basis
of all laws and constitutions of
government that may hereafter
be adopted, be it enacted, that
the following articles be con

Article 2 was a sort of bill of
rights, declaring for the writ of

favor of education, and of the fair
treatment of Indians, and article
4 was against slavery.

Interpreting the News
By MAKE SULLIVAN
In that press conference in
which President Roosevelt black
listed Senator Tydlngs and Rep
resentative O'Connor, certain
minor incidents conveyed some
illumination. The conference was
much like the one on February
5, 1937. when Mr. Roosevelt
Introduced his proposal to change
the supreme court. In both con
ferences Mr. Roosevelt was con
bcIous of ' putting on a rood
show" and therefore was In high
spirits. In both, he was conscious
that M audience, a hundred or
so newspaper men, were Im
pressed, and that, too, gave him
pleasure. Always the newspaper
men like a good show. Reporters
of politics, like reporters of
Prize fights, baseball, or other
sports, - appreciate a player who
knows his game and plays It
well.
Mr. Roosevelt read his state
ment tb the newspaper men, for
sneer pleasure in the reading
one must assume. For the statement-
was , already in mimeo
graphed form and would be put
in the hands of the newspaper
men- as they left the room. For
the sake of dramatic suspense
Mr; Roosevelt did .not say until
mo en j mai wnai ne was read
ing was a newspaper editorial,
which he was endorsing as his
own view. At -one point he in
terpolated. A strong sentence in
the text read, "In American poli
tics, any one can attach himself
to a party ' whether he believes
in its program or not.
Mr. Roosevelt read that "con
amore ' as the music term for
with feeling" goes. Then he In
terpolated, with obvious pleasure
corder (secretary of state), and
giving his fees. Article 9, for a
treasurer. Article 10, outlining
the treasurer's duties. Article 11
his fees. Article 12, that the laws
of the territory of Iowa shall hold
In the absence of a local law. Ar
ticles 13, 14 and IS, that the laws
of Iowa shall hold in the realm of
county officers, probate matters,
vagrants, etc. Article 16, that the
supreme court shall hold two ses
sions annually, the third Tues
days in April and September. Ar
tide 17, that male persons 16
years of ake or older and females
14 or oldershall have the right
to marry, provided that those un
der 21 of either sex must have
the consent of parents or guar
dians; the legal fee for perform
ing marriages being $1, and for
recording same 50c. Article 18,
that offices subsequently created
shall be tilled by election, same
as those already authorized. Ar
ticle 19. that a committee of three
be appointed to draw up a digest
of laws and transmit it to the U.
S. goverpment, for their Informa
tion. "Resolved that the follow
ing portions of the laws of the
Territory of Iowa, enacted at the
first session of the legislative as
sembly of said territory ... be
adopted as the laws of this terri
tory": then follow the titles of
the Iowa laws so mentioned, al
phabetlcally arranged.

"that's a hot-one." '
Not In. Platform
After the reading, however,
when the newspaper men asked
questions, there were some quer
ies which slightly disturbed Mr.
Roosetelt's mood of satisfaction.
Mr. Roosevelt's statement had
emphasized adherence to the par
ty platform as his test of demo
cratic senator rectitude. But some
one ungraciously recalled that'
Mr. j Rocsevelt's tourt measure
was I not in the party platform.
Mr. Roosevelt was obliged to ad
mit that was so. The atmosphere
was chilled a little when every
one realized that with Senator
George's vote against the court
proposal omitted, extremely lit
tle wa left of the indictment
against him, for actually Mr.
George supported some nine
tenths of the new deal measures.
Indeed, it could fairly be stated
that Mr. George voted for prac
tically every new deal measure
that was identical with any
pledga in the democratic plat
form.
One newspaper man. seeking
interesting details, asked Mr.
Roosevelt if he had received
many telegrams and letters about
his j speech against Senator
George, and. how the messages
were distributed as between ap
proval, and disapproval. That
question - threw. Mr. Roosevelt
off;j obviously he had not an
ticipated it. Had the question
been expected, one-guesses there
would have been many messages.
for Mr. Roosevelt and those about
him know the art of stimulating
fan mcil." and In the past have
occasionally exploited the quan
tity "received." On some ast oc
casions the White House has
given it out that many thou
sands of messages were received.
Too Hot to Write
In the present Instance Mr.
Roosevelt was obliged to say
there hadn't been manv messag
es, only ten or fifteen. That num
ber is very, small; almost any
newspaper or. commentator would
receive more, about statements
less important.' Somewhat lamely
Mr. Roosevelt said he supposed
it was too hot . for people to
write letters.. Yet, without know
ing anything about it, one would
feel safe- in guessing that Sena
tor George received many ' times
10 or 15 letters and telegrams.
However, let us not make a
point of that. One of the many
fallacies current in the United
States is that which assumes the
stature of a political leader, like
the talent of a screen actress, is
in proportion ta the quantity of
fan mail received by each.
But is there any significance
in the fact that Mr. Roosevelt
received only 10 or 15 messages
about his speech blacklisting Sen
ator George? Is the country a
little itunned? If not by the
George speech alone, by the cum
ulative effect of many startling
actions and developments in var
ious fields? Perhaps by general
conditions that are beginning to
emerge to sight?
The country would be appalled.
if the country understood some
of the conditions. By testimony-
before a congressional Investigat
ing committee. It is shown that
throu-h action along many fronts.
the country is being taken to
ward the communist order of soA
ciety and government. The areas
in which the movement is going

or carried on under camoflouge
or are otherwise difficult for the
