Member Of Congress Defends
'Presidents Social Security Act
ief . Executive Faced
With Realities In Am-
o'Venca Today, V
k5, ; Member 0f Congress ,,
Though there have been many re
f erenceB to the Social Security Act
sponsored' by President' Roosevelt
and enacted by ft Congress in Au
. . gust, I am certain that very few of
our citizeaa are familiar with its ac
fltual provisions. It ia truly a belated
recognition on the part of our Gov
ernment of its obligation to its eiti
,, zens. It marks an historic advance
p toward economic security for those
whose labors .and talents have contri
,, buted so greatly, to the wealth of this
Nation. What should f these citizens
of our country rightfully' expect from
their government in return for this
J contribution when, because of bad
health, misfortune or old age, they
have reached the deadline of service?
'. The answer to thW question is the
answer to the problem of social se
curity. In the past, it was a job in
good times, "; I the breadline in , bad
times.' Changed economic conditions,
, coupled "with technological' and scien
tific advances, have brought about
I; radically changed social conditions to
, : such a degree that it will be impos
' sible to obtain security " for every
- man and, his. family through private
; enterprise. We need not be surpris
ed at this development Time was
K when one family was an entirely self
; J supporting Unit which did .not seek
?; cooperation, even ..i or , ' protection
I s against its enemies. In various ways,
economic cooperation , .in - units as
large as tribes or villages grew, and
?.: with it there came an increasing lack
: of certain kinds if self.-rliance. Up
until four or five years ago, in the
- United States It was igeherally possl
; We for a decent, hardworking man of
average intelligence to build up for
himself and his dependents an ade

up and are able to support him. We
all, know that many industrial con
cerns make a policy of laying, 'off
men after they have passed the age
of ,45-50 years.,, Other skilled work
ers find life-long trades suddenly
valueless to. them because technolog
ical advances have superseded them
What are we going to do with this
army 4 oj. uieu uiiu uieir uepcuueuiB i
Shall we throw, them upon the humi
liations of charity, or force them to
eat the bitter bread of dole? Either
of these is a cruel reward for self
respecting and efficient servicel Shall
we urge them to save? With wages
what they. are and have been in a
large number of pur factories, that
is an even nitterer jest
: The money to provide for them is
here. The great middle class of
men and women in this country made
it with their hands and brains; it
only remains to find the proper fun
nel by which that wealth can be
siphoned off the. excess profits of in
dustry and stored up in the form of
security pensions. To do this is
plain ordinary justice, It is. some
thing else besides. There is a sec
ondary aspect of the social security
bill which in the' long run may prove
the more important. Its potentiali
ties for good are unlimited, assuming
of course that it will have fair, hon
est and capable administration.. The
pensions and unemployment insur
ance will be useful to the. whole na
tion, rich and poor, because they
will cushion the shocks of periodic
depressions which have ' .threatened
to shake our economic life to pieces
and destroy our civilization- All of
us have seen the grave consequences
which follow in the wake of panic,
depression, or even ordinary econom
ic fluctuations' of our" modern life.
Our failure i (he' (ast to provide
these safeguards has maae it aoso-
lately Imperative. during the-past-two
years that we provide . relief. No
one will deny that prevention is the
better policy. It . is. a part. of. good
Government to encourage and assist
able-bodied men to .do an honest day's
work.
In sponsoring the -Social Security
Act President Roosevelt" iacea tne
realities in America -today. Be sees
as the true purpose of a real and ef
fective social order supplying those

who live under it with the necessities
of existence- in abundance, providing
work" for the strong and -willing,-.
robbing old age of its miseries and
terrors, taking from, involuntary, un
employment its despairs ;nd desola
tion and above all giving such guar
anties of social- security as will - en--able
good men to go to bed at .night
without wondering miserably what
will become of them and their families-
on the : morrow. Millions . of
others will say with him that "any
civilization that fails in these 'ob
jectives is not a civilization that de
serves to endure." He holds a deep
seated conviction that as we lead the
world in invention, science and indus
trial achievement, we can also lead
the world into a new social order that
will free . men from their fears and
miseries and make them truly mas
ters of their destiny. Mr. Roosevelt
outlined the entire program in his
messages of June 8, 1934, and Janu
ary 4, 1935. In both, he stated
that: "Among our objectives, I place
the security of the men, women and
children of the Nation first" He
further stated that security for the
individual and for the family con
cerns itself with three factors; first,
decent liomes to live in; second, de
velopment of the natural resources
of the country so as to afford people
the fullest opportunity to engage in
productive work; and, third, safe
guarding against the major misfor
tunes of life- The Social Security
Act is concerned with the third of
these aspects of security safeguard
ing against misfortunes which can
not be wholly eliminated in this man
made world of ours. The Social Se
curity Act has been designed to pro
vide safe guards thrqugh cooperative
action by Federal and State govern
ments, thus making possible fullest
consideration of individual State
needs while maintaining unity of
purpose. Our own State, however,
has failed up to this hour to respond
to this challenge and to meet by co
operation its obligation and duty to
the citizens of North Carolina.
The provisions of this Act deal
with a number of distinct, although
related, measures for social security,
which the Committee on Economic
Security, in summarizing its provi
sionshas grouped under the follow
ing headings r Unemployment com
pensation, old-age security, security
for children, aid to the blind, exten
sion of public health services, voca
tional rehabilitation.

adjustment programs received a to
tal of S58.263.lt in rental Ami hnna.
fiit payments during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1935.
s These payments together with the
increase in prices paid to farmers
for their commodities have been re
flected in tte larger income being re
ceived by the farmers, said Dean I. O.
Schaub, of State College.
From 1932 to 1934, he pointed out,
the total income of North Carolina
farmers increased by approximated
155 per cent, or from $104,362,000 to
$266,449,000. The 1933 income was
$194,390,000.

43, corn-hog producers $719,363.20,
and wheat growers $51,599 67.
During this period the expense of
administering the programs amount
ed to $1,147,290.71, or approximate
ly seven per cent of the total AAA
disbursements in the State.
The administration expenses were
largely payments to county and com
munity committeemen who were se
lected from among the farmers to
assist the county agents locally with
the crop adjustment programs.

in Bertie County amounted to $138,
718.91; Gates $45,961.18; Perquimans,
