Want To Adhere Out of

Washington. Jan. 17. American
participation in World Court proceed,
ings seems a strong probability.
Whether or not to “adhere.” as dip
lomats express it. is a question for
the Senate to answer. A two-thirds
majority is required to answer it af
firmatively. However, the Senatorial
foreign relations committee recom
mended adhereence 14 to 7. Os course,
this is enough to turn the trick if the
committee alignment on the Issue be
accepted as representative of the
whole Senate’s sentiment.
The predominant guessing Is that
it should be so accepted.
The Senate’s World Court cleavage,
nevertheless, by no means is strictly
partisan, and the varying views of
most of the current session’s 13 new
solons are uncertain, whlcn makes
prediction somewhat doubtful.
Still, even the “antis” speak of ad

DEMOCRATS FAVOR IT
Why the Senate’s Democratic mem

net Committee Report
Washington, Jan. 17.—< AP»—Mak
ing its long-heralded attack on the
problem of “social security,” the.
Roosevelt administration laid before
Congress today a five.point program
designed as protection against what,
it termed the “hazards” of modern
existence.
Topped by a special message from
President Roosevelt, the program was
unfolded in a 40.000-word report by
the President’s cabinet committee on
security, and specifically in a bill
drafted by Senator Robert F. Wagner,
Democrat, New York.
In brief, the Wagner bill, following
closely the proposal of the cabinet
committee, headed by Secretary of
Labor Francis Perkins, provides:
1. Compulsory unemployment insur
ance. to be paid for by employers
through a payroll tax. This would
start at one percent next January I
and would be increased to three per
cent January 1, 1933. However, if busi
ness picks up fast, th e three percent
level would he reachd sooener.
2. Compulsory insurance against
poverty-stricken old age for wage
earners and small salaried workers, to
paid for by employers and employees
on a 50-50 basis. .
3. Old age pensions for the n®6dj'
aged who would hot be covered by
the compulsory insurance, to be paid
for by the Federal and State govern,
ments. i
4. A voluntary Federal annuity sys
tem for those who would not be in
cluded in the compulsory plan, and
who could afford to save for their old
age out of incomes larger than those
to be affected by the compulsory plan.
5. Large Federal grants to states
for aid to needy and ill mothers and
children; extension of the public
health service.
The Wagner bill carried appropria
tions totalling nearly $100,000,000 to
finance the program during the fis
cal year starting next July 1. Author
izations for’ spending more than $200,-
000,000 each year thereafter also wen*
includeded.
