Welfare State Costly
; The Institute of Life Insurance has been makinjr a study
-rf official New Zealand budget figures to find the answer
to the question of the cost of the "welfare state" to the
'public and to economy at large, for New Zealand is the
pace maker in social security and paternalistic experi
ments. : Its figures show that the New Zealand social security
program took virtually a third of every penny of taxation
collected by the government in the 1947-48 fiscal year.
The cost of the program has been rising steadily and has
more than doubled in the last five years alone. The Insti
' tute says:
,,. "Social experimentation and increasing governmet pateral
Ism have been characteristic of New Zealand for more than a
generation," the Institute stated. "A decade ago, coverage and
benefits under social security legislation were expanded so
greatly that New Zealand would appear to have reached the
ultimate In government assumption of responsibility for the in
dividual and his welfare."
The definition of social security in New Zealand goes far
"beyond that prevailing in the United States and includes
"govemmentally-provided services and benefits, like med
Jcal care, that in this country have been traditionally re
garded as an area of individual responsibility.
. Official figures show that the cost of social services in
New Zealand has tripled in the last decade, rising from 20
million pounds in the 1938-39 fiscal year, equivalent to
10 percent of all private income in that period, to 60 mil
lion pounds, or 13.2 percent of total private income, in the
1947-48 fiscal year. Social security expenditures repre
sent by far the major item in the cost of social services and
in the 1947-48 fiscal year alone came to over 40 million
pounds.
"Compulsory health insurance has been in effect in New
rZealand for a decade, and its cost has Jumped every year. In
Ihe 1948-49 fiscal year, outlays for the medical plan are offi
cially estimated at a new high of over 7'4 million pounds, an
increase of close to 50 percent in the last five years and equiva
lent to more than a third of the cost of all social services before
the war.
"Payments to doctors and drugs are the two big factors in
the flsing cost of New Zealand's compulsory health insurance.
The former has increased from about 1.3 million pounds In the
1944-45 fiscal year to approximately 2.3 million pounds in the
fiscal year ended last March 31."
!1 New Zealand has a special social security tax of 72
.percent on all income, business as well as individual, and
this is levied on top of all other taxes including income
taxes. However, the receipts from this tax, though very
large, have regularly fallen far short of meeting the cost
of the social security program. As a result, the govern
ment has had to make up the difference out of general
revenues, and these government contributions in the last
three year have ranged from a third to a half of the costs
of the program.
Enactment of the Truman compulsory medical servicee
program will invite proportionately greater taxation in the
United States adding to the load which has already made
the individual tax burden to Americans the highest in the
world, some $100 per capita higher than the individual
tax burden in New Zealand.
A Casualty of War
" James V. Forrestal, 57, first American secretary of de
fense, who took his own life Sunday in a 13-story plunge
.from the skyscraper naval hospital at Bethseda, Md., was
as much a war casualty as though he had been killed in
action. In recognition of it President Truman has pro
claimed a period of national mourning until Forrestal is
buried, and ordered the American flag lowered to half
staff on all public buildings, naval statues and military in
stallations, as a symbol of the nation's loss.
. Forrestal had been under treatment for a psycho-neurotic
disorder sinre the reluctant acceptance of his resig
nation April 2. He was suffering from what the military
service calls "occupational fatigue," a mental breakdown,
In which he lost a great deal of weight and appeared ex
hausted, physically and mentally by his unremitting labors
In his burdensome duties during the war, and as the presi
dent says, "In the critical years which have followed the
end of hostilities a great loss to the people of the United
States whom he has served so well and faithfully."
Forrestal left .behind his own epitaph, a hand scrawled
copy of a quotation from Sopheclcs, the great Greek tragic
dramatist (chosen from Axis) : "Comfortless, nameless,
hopeless save in the dark prospects of the yawning grave.
Better to die and sleep the never-waking sleep than linger
on," when reason is lost.
Forrestal was lwrn in Beacon, N.Y., in 1892, attended
Dartmouth in his freshman year and transferred to
Trinceton, where he was a member of the boxing team.
He entered World War I as an ordinary seaman, second
class, studied flying and rose to the rank of lieutenant in
naval aviation. After discharge he joined the firm of
William A. Read A. Co.. and became president of Dillon,
Read 4 Co., Investment firm, and in 1940 he was appointed
tinder-secretary of the navy, serving until his appointment
Is secretary of the navy, and in July, 1947, secretary of
Jefense.
Forrestal did his best to unify the defense forces, army,
Javy and airforce. but the law was defective in that it did
j ot confer upon him the requisite power necessary to per
fect consolidation of the branches against the opposition
