Washington, D, C.— Can the
strength of a nation be measured,
by counting its weapons and men
in uniform, together with its
farms and factories? That ques
tion was answered in a recent
talk by Oscar R. Ewing, Federal
Security Administrator, which
was significant not only for what
he said but also for where he said
it.
• Ewing was addressing a class
of officers in the Industrial Col
lege of the Armed Forces, which
was organized to teach military
leaders the sources of the nation’s
strength. He told them the
strength of the nation is "simply
and literally” the strength of its
people.
In other words, the health, ed
ucation and social welfare of the
people, matters which are the
particular concern of the Federal
Security Administrator, are the
real basis for the nation’s mili

tary strength.
Ewing spoke of such ‘'Fail
Dear' proposals as health insur
ance aid to education and improv
ed social security as directly af
fecting "vour immediate concern
with the national security,” but
added, “I want also to make it
plain that I do not justify these
measures solely, or even mainly,
on grounds of national defense.
"They justify themselves, as
necessary and practical elements
in the kind of government and the
kind of peace-loving society we
believe in "
Ewing spoke on the "shocking”
discovery that World War II draft
records showed nearly one in four
of our men between the ages of
19 and 37 were classified as “4-F”
for physical or mental deficienees,
and was rejected as unfit for mil
itary service.
The Census Bureau, he said esti
mates that on any given day from
3 1-2 to 3 1-4 million workers are
off the job because of injury or
illness. Many of these could con
tinue at work if they went to a
doctor early enough.
“Far too many men and women
now are putting off getting medi
cal expense, or what they fear the
expense will be. Once the dollar
barrier is removed, more people
would get to a doctor before it
is too late.”
Lack of education is causing
many draft rejections even now,
yet Ewing's figures indicated that
today’s children will be little bet
ter off. "Considerably over 3 mil
lion children between the ages of
5 and 17 are not going to school
at all," he declared.
“And that is more than 1 out
of 10 of all children of school age
—potential illiterates and poten
tial '4-F’s,' rejected for education
al deficiencies in peace and war."
The Social Security system has
been notably strengthened. Ewing
said, as the result of the legisla
tion passed last August. But there
are still serious inadequacies, no
tably the failure to provide pro
tection against disability.
