PLIGHT OF THE OLD INCREASING
The constantly increasing cost of living is making the plight
of the old and infirm, who have no way of increasing their income,
worse day by day. There are but a few now who deny that the
state has a definite obligation to see that reasonable comfort is
provided for the old who, ui spite of exemplary thrift and enterprise
in their day. have come to the sunset of life haunted by fear o
want. After the war is over the sleepless nights of old people
worrying about how to have food and shelter next month or next
year will be multiplied by many thousands because of those who
will have to go on the scrap heap in order to give returning soldiers
and war industry workers an opportunity to reestablish theni-
selves in civilian life.
It is the
_ hope of all who have _ given the subject serious, sym-
pathetic thought that the Federal Government will some day deal
more justly with the aged. The war situation has. however, sad­
dled upon the Federal Government such a multiplicity of responsibili­
ties and demands that Congress may not be able to do anything
worth while to revamp the old-age-security program for a long
/ time The only safe course, therefore, to pursue at his time, in
this vitally important matter is to work for it on both state and
national fronts at the same time.
The state is in a better position than the Federal government

now for the unprotected old people who will be
the victims of a circumstance which they cannot avoid when the
war is over. When Congress takes steps properly to protect al)
in old age, the people in their respective states will have to provide
the money for it. We can. therefore, hasten Federal action by
putting into operation immediately a state plan to be sj?jhronized
with Federal law or taken over by the Federal Government. If a
number of states will go as far, as any state can go by ifself, there
will soon be an irresistable demand on Congress to take over the
job of providing more adequately and make it possible to have
protection regardless of what state one lives in after retiring.
