The program, unannounced but none the less reui, of in
creasing federal encroachment on state functions and prerog
atives goes on. It progresses through supreme court decision,
througn enactment ot national legislation, through the exten
sion or' grants and loans which carry conditions of super
vision and regulation, in recent years we have even seen
federal agencies in the role of lobbyists in state legislatures,
advising, influencing, threatening to obtain tne passage ot
this bill or block the passage of tnat as it might be expected
to strengthen the grip of tne agency in question or to weaken
it.
In this regard, perhaps, no Washington bureau or author
ity has been more persistent than that which has the adminis
tration of social security, its influence was made manifest at
the legislative session in our own state and in others two
years ago. It has been understood that it would be made
manifest again this year. Further indication of this has now
Deen given.
" Not many months ago a measure in the United States
senate calling for unemployment compensation on a scale
hitherto unheard of met defeat. It was another attempt to
federalize this phase of social security which, in the be
ginning was turned over to the states. The pretext under
which the bill was urged was that unemployment compensa
tion had become a function of federal government because
employment is so largely connected with a national under
taking !- the prosecution of the war.
It shortly became apparent, however, that defeat in the j
senate was not to be the end of the story. Control could be
undertaken through the states and perhaps could insure one
of the objectives of federalization great increase in the
rate of disbursement.
Now a bill which moves toward this objective has been
introduced in the Oregon legislature. It is Senate Bill 78 and
its ostensible origin is the senate committee on labor and in
dustries. Briefly it provides for a maximum weekly benefit
of $25, for duration. of benefits through a muximum of 26
weeks. The present Oregon law allows $15 a week for 16
weeks.
; Unemployment compensation financing in Oregon varies
from the financing of social security (that part retained by
the federal government) m one very important respect. The
federal social security tax is a payroll levy against both em
ployer and employe; the unemployment compensation "contri
bution," a most misleading term, is paid in Oregon by the
employer alone. Nevertheless, Oregon has steadily built up a
fund which has assured the meeting of all claims which might
be brought against it under the existing schedule of benefits.
This was so in the beginning years of the operation of the
law. It is so today, even though we can foresee, in the im
mediate post-war years, the certainty of tremendous claims
against the fund. ' . "" '
Today there is more than $60,000,000 in this fund. For
such a state as Oregon the amount is, to put it mildly, impres
sive. For the sake of easy figuring, as will develop presently,
suppose we say that it has reached $65,000,000. Still more
impressive. But how many of the maximum claims of the
size that Senate Bill 78 proposes, would this $65,000,000 pay?
Twenty-five dollars for 26 weeks is $650. The number of
claims which could be paid would be 100,000. There could be
nearly twice that many. Moreover, under the Oregon law,
it is frequently possible for a claimant to come forward for
a second benelit year, this because of the peculiar manner in
which the base year (on which benefits are computed), is set
up. '
But long since the.fund would have been bankrupt. Thou
sands 'of claimants would, perforce, be turned awav. What
then ?
Why then we would hear from the social security adminis
tration in Washington to the effect that the state of Oregon
had failed to meet its obligations and that the social security
board would simply have to take over. A nice bit of strategy
and it could work. Let it be .stressed, however, that the only
..cV ,u nii-ii oiiuHu bui-u my uiiai u couiu possuiiy improve
on me suite s iitinuuintrauon would be by levying the em
ploye tax which the state does not levy.
ine urcgon legislature will do well to scan carefullv
henate Bill 78 and its possibilities. It is excellent to be gener
ous, to play Lady Bountiful, but it the part of wisdom to
make no promises that cannot be kept. The unemployment
compensation fund is adequate for the benelit schedules "it was
accumulated to insure. It is quite inadequate for any such
schedules as are proposed in Senate Bill 78.

WnshinHton, D. C When the
Hon. James Clement Dunn was
up for the senute foreign rela
tions committee Investigation and
ratification for appointment as as
sistant secretary of state in
charge of everything except west
ern hemisphere afluirs, a lot of
rocks were thrown at the gentle
man because of his alleged pro
fascist and anti democratic lean
ings. Specifically he was charged
with being pro-Franco, anti-de
Gaulle, anti-soviet and, by intima
tion, anti-semitic. And because he
was an adviser to former Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull, Dunn
was credited or blamed with be
ing responsible for shaping the
policy which the United Stales
government has followed in deal
ing with Spanish, French and oth
er problems.
None of these charges was ever
satisfactorily cleared up. Most of
the senate foreign relations com

After 23 months as a member

But because of this man's key
position as head of European,

Eastern divisions of the depart
ment of state and because of the
important dealing which the Unit
ed States must have with coun
tries of the old world in the Im
mediate future, It may be worth
while trying to get at the bottom
of his record.
First take this pro-Franco
charge. Jimmy Dunn has been
given the blame for shaping the
policy of the American arms em
bargo which made It illegal to
send arms to republican Spain, as
n result of which Franco was
able to overthrow tho established
government, putting Spain in the
axis camp.
ine .Spanish revolution broke
out on July 10, 1936. In July, 1935.
Dunn had been named chief of the
division of western European af
fairs in the department of state
and as such he would be nominally
in charge or. dealings with the
Spanish government. But in June,
l!13(i, just before the revolution
broke out, Mr. Dunn himself
broke out with stomach ulcers and
wont to the Mayo Clinic in Roches
ter. While he was gone, the U. S.
president on Aug. 22 announced
his own "hands off" policy with
regard to the Spanish revolution.
Jimmy Dunn apparently had noth
ing to do with it.
Tlie president was. In a sense,
hound to set this course by previ
ous congressional action. In Au
gust, 11135, congress had passed
the neutrality act, making unlaw

passed the Joint resolution declar

policy. James C. Dunn had noth
