Dear Three P’s:
At some of our recent busi
ness luncheons tßx'e has been a
great deal of discussion us to
she -welfare" state. Some of
the arguments have been het and
heavy; some claim 'that we are
on uie way to socialism and
communism; some claim that it
is the only way that an indi
vidual in this fast moving world
can be taken care of in certain
situations. It is argued that it is
the most important current po
litical issue outside of defense.
What is your comment?
—Latentia.
Dear Latentia:
You are correct that the "wel
fare state” is, the subject of a
great deal of discussion and de
bate. There is a great deal to!
be said in favor of some of the
benefits under so-called welfare
plans and a great deal to be
criticized as illogical, uneconomic
and poorly thought out. The
welfare state is nothing new; it
was tried in ancient civilizations
as well as in modern states. In
modern times we could go hack
to Rousseau and his theory and
philosophy in his book “The
Social Contract, or we could
consider Verblen and his ideas
in the U. S. In the modern
Jimes the welfare concept has
been slowly developing over the
last fifty or seventy-five years
and more or less culminating in
the Labor Party’s program in
Jpreat Britain providing for the
care of the individual from the
Jwomh to the tomb.
Let us briefly consider some
pf the background which has
jfeiven rise to the need of some
jlvell developed welfare pro
grams. In our earlier society the
"iclan and the tribe were the cen
ter of communal life and with
in these the individual was se
cure and was looktd after in
limes of stress. As society be- 1
pame more fixed in an agricul
tural economy the family became
jlhe unit with perhaps the aid
j>f the overlord. In this econo-
Tny the family of several genera
tions usually stuck together to
help other members of the fami
ly. In these economies life was
,'itough and there was no plush
■Ju.id viie journeyman broke from
jjthe family and hospices develop
ted and churches were the cen
ters for helping the needy. Pop
4ulation grew as well as indus
try and life was becoming more
and the indigent and.
needy became dependent on the
{local, churches, poor houses and
■{neighbors. Society became more
-and more industrialized and with
dhe advent of steam and power
ifor industry the mass of people
'were excessively exploited, with
'k;n« hours of labor, ooor pay
,and worse living conditions. In

1 form. Out of this came the for
mation of societies for <the al
, lev.acton of the condition of the
poor. The Salvation Army was
one of the societies formed for
.mis puipuse and stitl exists to
j oay. tne churches played a
1 g«_‘i part and if it woe not for
■ these efforts ‘there could have
i been a revolution in England at
I uie time. This pondit.cn led to
Uie formation of various political
| societies with what might be
called socialistic ideas; it was
ialso a time ip which the labor
movement was started in a hap
hazard way. Literature also
participated as illustrated in the
, books of Charles Dickens who
was g great social refajmer, and
George B. Shaw was one of the
founders of the Fabian Socialist
Society.
Factories increased, industry
became more and more efficient,
women became an important ele
ment in factory employment as
well as children. Man was di
vorced from the soil and last his
native sense us security as he
had no place to turn in the event
of a shut down of the factory or
a general depression. The indi
vidual was losing more and
more of his independence and
became a dependent upon.indus
-1 try for his existence. This is
continuing at an accelerated rate
with the invention of more and
mere machines to take over the
work of skilled craftsmen and
clerical labor. The old-fashioned
bookkeeper has passed out of the
picture and in his place you
have a machine and the women
are taking the place in operat
ing the machines necessary to
feed the automatic bookkeeping
machines. The demand for com
mon and unskilled labor is de
creasing; it is difficult for a
man without a definite skill or
profession to find work of a
permanent nature: women are
replacing men and often both
husband and wife are employed
in order to make ends meet.
Man is looking for security and
it is interesting to note that a
great many young men are join
ing the military to remain in
service for twenty years and re
tire at half pay.
This situation has given rise to
a great many social problems be
yond the ability of the individ
ual, willing and anxious to
work, to solve. This situation
also has been the reason for the
development ot‘ welfare plans
>iu h as unemployment relief, so
cialized medicine and subsidized
housing. From a medical point
cf view the economic situation,
the uncertainties of employment
and without any certainty of the
future has given rise to the in
crease in alcoholics, neurotics
and mental cases: a basic fear
of the future.
The great weakness in all of
these plans is that the govern
ment has to be the focal point j
of administration. This leads to,
the building up of a bureaucracy,
excessive costs of collecting the
tax money and its administra
tion. If a more efficient way
were devised there could be little
objections to some of the wel
fare"jjlamr-but stieh- plans be
come political footballs and the
clever and wily are the real
beneficiaries of all such plans
while the real needy shy away
from them.
The economic side of the pic
ture requires attention. If as
proposed the social security pro
gram is enlarged to care for
the medical needs of the elderly
thtre will be a further deduc-

LEARNS OF TRAGEDY— Mrs. Jewel Cross, 20, slumps In
anguish on the porch of her Chicago home after learning that
her 10-month-old son was killed in a fire. Holding her band
is her husband, Donald. The fire was caused by youngsters
playing with matches.
tion from the workers’ payroll.
The problem is how much can
present generations stand in the
way of taxation to pay for
these programs. The government
is already in debt to $290 bil
lion and future commitments
amount to SBOO billion which
the coming generations will have
to pay. It is a political ques
tion, but the welfare state is roll
ing on at great momentum and
will be a firey issue in the com
ing election.
Dear Three P’s:
My husband and I belong to
a local social group which ar
ranges to have parties every
riow and then. There is one wo
man when such a pai'ty is
broached immediately takes
charge and appoints certain peo
ple to do the work. She never
does anything but criticize. We
are getting tired of it although
we enjoy her membership. What
can we do in a situation like
this?
—Aliri'a.
Dear Alicia:
In all groups you will find
such people who like to arrange
everything and appoint people
to work out the details while
they sit on the sidelines and
take all of the credit. You are
an individual with common
sense so just assert yourself the
next time she takes charge. Just
refuse her assignment and sug
gest that she do it and then
make other suggestions. Do not
iust sit on the sidelines, criti
cize and do nothing about it.
Wave your own flag.
Diplomacy is the art of keep
ing cool.
—William Jennings Bryan.
