Junr 16. 79/9 Out Of Balance While insisting either by pressure or mon etary purcnose on other peoples the adoption of our way of life, we should first examine our own ways, correct the fallacies and offer a basic pattern for others to follow. No doubt but what our way is best even with •all its drawbacks, but how much easier it would be to get others to follow if we cor rected some of our own faults. Aside from the political confusion, we are out of balance in recognizing basic values. Reports declare that self-indulgence led the people of this nation in 1947 to spend fifteen billion dollars for alcoholic beverages, movies, and tobacco and another fifteen bil lion dollars for war while only one and one half billions were spent for church and Christian purposes. Such a condition must puzzle other peoples who find it difficult to keep body and soul together. In this land where we profess Christianity, religious sects are at each other’s throat, and dre divided on doctrines within their own groups. More people are outside than there are inside the church. More people fish, play golf, go to the tracks, attend the movies on Sunday than are to be found inside the churches. •? * «* Promoting Improvidence? Christian Science Monitor. Temptation to manv elderly people to hide t»r divest themselves,of the resources that f/ould make them independent in order to obtain public assistance is persistently of- l fered by government. In consequence, many i claim virtual poverty and ask for the liberal , payments of old-age assistance when they i shouldn’t. If the old-age insurance of the federal gov- ! the people of 65 and over would not turn to relief. But the old-age payments, which are based on taxes paid by worker and employ er for a number of years preceding retire ment. have not been increased since 1939. They have been put altogether out of date by the jump in living costs, and today are far too low. This unfortunate trend is notably illustrat ernment was what it ought to be. many of ed in the experience of Massachusetts. Grants of old-age assistance made after a needs test averaged $61.48 in December of 1948. But the average of 4he old-age insur ance benefits here came to only $26.47 a month in the same period. The extra money given in cases of need has had its part in causing the “reliefers” in Massachusetts greatly to outnumber the in sured. Recipients of assistance grants in De cember totaled 90,497, against 58,069 of the insured. This is altogether undesirable and contrary to the original design of the social security system. The monthly insurance benefits should be increased to provide a basic minimum of economic security or floor of protection. The coverage should also be broadened to include millions of workers now excluded. The responsibility belongs to Congress. It has neglected to raise the insurance pay ments though several times boosting the re lief grants, and has taken no action toward extending the system. The quicker Con gress does something, the greater will be its encouragement of thrift, self-reliance, and good citizenship. Illinois Expose The odor in Illinois, as uncovered by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Chicago Daily News, comes from a stink as unhealthy and corrupt as any that has ever soiled the reputation of American journalism. Thirty-seven daily and weekly newspap ermen were found to have been on the pay roll of the state administration at various times from 1941 to 1948. Total payments are known to have exceeded $325,000 for work identified as “messengers,” “clerks,” “investigators,” "field men,” etc. . . . These men, as all newspapermen, had an obligation to the public. Their readers look ed to them for impartial news stories, fair and objective editorial treatment. They vio lated their trust. How can you be impartial in news treatment or fair in editorial com ment when you are being paid by the organi zation about which you write? These 37 newspapermen may be disci plined by their own readers. There is no machinery by which they could be disci plined by their fellow-editors, publishers, and reporters. But other newspapermen should do something about it, and quickly. Ever'' newspaperman and every newspap er association should denounce this violation of honest journalistic ethics.—Editor and Publisher. Faith visits us in defeat and disappoint ment, amid the consciousness of earthly fruility and the crumbling tombstones of mortality.—E. H. Chapin.
