Freedom of the press does not exist in many countries of the world. In Europe one finds the press more or less controlled in every powerful country except Great Britain. In Russia and Ja pan the newspapers are largely handled by the government for its own uses. In the United States despite cries about the freedom of the press being threatened the av erage citizen would conclude that the press is, in instances, “too free”. However, that is much better than to have a kept press, unable to print accurate news and dependent entirely up on the government, for permission to publish any article. Not only is the censorship of news maintain ed in many countries but the dispatch of newt to outside countries is limited and the receipt of news from the outside world also rigidly su pervised. Under such circumstances one can hardly ex pect the people of the countries to be able to form correct opinions on any subject. The form of government may vary but there can be no democratic processes where there is an absence of information and comment, and any desire of the people for peace, if it exists as many assert, can hardly be depended upon to exert much influence on a government in clined to warfare. * "SOCIAL SECURITY” The term “social security” is being used loosely by many American ctizens. This has come about as a result of the passage by Con gress of what is called the Social Security Act. It provides for a great increase in the social service to be rendered the people of America, through Federal cooperation with the various states, but does not include every essential of social security. The Federal-State proposed program embra ces nine different objects, each of which stands aside and apart from the others. Only one phase goes into operation automatically as a result of the Federal legislation. All others included require state assent and cooperation, although not all of them necessitate appropri ations by the state government. Unemployment compensation acts have al ready been passed by a number of states, to act in cooperation with the United States. The Federal Act provides for contributions from employers in proportion to their payrolls, and to set up their own acts employers in any state may pay ninety percent of their Federal contri bution to their state administrations and re ceive credit against the Federal tax. All ad ministrative costs are paid by the Federal Gov ernment. This plan has been devised to pro tect workers from the insecurity of unemploy ment, and after a few years it is expected to take care of the normal periods of unemploy ment. Aid for the aged is another important item in the program. It is of two forms. A Fed eral Old Age Benefit plan is effective without state cooperation, whereby beginning next year payroll assessments against employer and em ployee will gradually furnish a sufficient sum to pay monthly amounts to workers when they reach the age of sixty-five. For the present, before the foregoing plan can be set up, and for the benefit of those not covered by it, the Federal Government offers to pay one-half of { whatever total sum the Individual states pay as assistance to their needy aged. All adminis trative features and most of the legislative de tails are left individually to the respective states. Children will be helped very greatly by the program. Four different plans are included for their benefit. The states are offered Fed eral grants for the following purposes: to aid mothers in caring for dependent children; to improve maternal and child health services and prevent infant and mothers’ mortality; to ex tend and improve child welfare services; and, to treat and cure children who are crippled as far as is humanly possible. The individual states are encouraged to set up their own pro grams by receiving liberal Federal grants if they do. “ 1 <•*>♦** This leaves three other portions of the Fed eral Social Security program. Aid to the needy blind is similar in its scope as the Old Age Assistance. Public health services in the vari ous states will be extended by grants of money from the Federal Government. Then, the am ounts available for vocational rehabilitation have been increased, requiring states to match them, so that men and women injured in in dustrial or other accidents, can be made whole and self-supporting. The entire program is well worth the enthu siastic support of the American people. It will reduce human suffering and misery. It will provide for many who can not adequately respond to the misfortunes of life which have overtaken them. It is the application of the Christian doctrines of love and service in the relationship of government and citizen. m Washington News I For U. S. Farmers WALLACE’S VIEWS EVER NORMAL GRANARY. CONTRASTS 1932 AND 1936 URGES CROP INSURANCE One of the purposes of this column is to pre sent the views of responsible officials on ag ricultural subjects so that the farmers of the nation may become acquainted with topics un der discussion. Publication of views here does not imply any endorsement whatever. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace has long studied the problems of American far mers. His father was Secretary of Agriculture before him, having been appointed by Presi dent Harding. The son, appointed by Presi dent Roosevelt, had been a Republican for many years. Now, we understand, he is a Dem ocrat. We cite the record of political affiliation merely to suggest that his approach to the farm problem is not partisan. His solution of ag riculture’s puzzling questions may not be cor rect, but, in all frankness, it may be said that he has looked the situation in the face and presents an interesting suggestion. More than a decade ago he was discussing crop insurance and the ever normal granary but good weather, coupled with city prosper ity, prevented any recognition of the need for such & plan. Today, the fanners have passed through several trying experiences including devastating drought and, strange to say, al most as devastating production. Mr. Wallace insists that a more uniform sup ply fiom year to year and a more uniform price will benefit both fanners and consumers, de claring “consumers do pot benefit from cheap food one year if it means ruined farmers and food far higher in price a few years later” and “farmers do not benefit from exceedingly high prices for food if the consumer is harmed and the result is great overproduction, waste and low prices a few years later.” The record, he maintains, bears him out. In 1932, says the Secretary of Agriculture, “when accumulated surpluses had driven farm prices down to the bottom, one would expect to find consumers exceedingly well off.” Were they? The fact that food prices were lower than in generations did not prevent the consumers of the United States from suffering. The record, says he, “shows that the real period of scarcity was in 1932, when surpluses were greatest and breadlines were longest. “It was then that the farmers were losing their farms, that industry was prostrate and fear and hunger were ram pant. It was when farmers were burning com instead of coal that the city people were most hungry.” Mr. Wallace contends that the welfare of the city people and the farmers of this country are interdependent, that the employment of the la borer depends, in part, upon the buying power of the farmer and that the price of farm pro ducts depends, in part, upon the ability of the worker to secure employment and the money with which to buy farm products. He insists, and many thoughtful people agree with him, that increased buying power of farmers has had much to do1 with improved business condi tions today and that low prices on the farm, as in 1932, do not necessarily mean plenty for the city consumer.
