The subject OF old age pensions has
been a subject CT discussion and legis-
Iation for years in Europe. In Ger
many the matter was long ago taken
up by the imperial government. In
1889 an old age and invalidity bill was
passed by the reichstag. under which
in 1892 a total OF 100000 people in
Berlin alone-nearly one-third the en-
tire population-were insured There
has always been much dissatisfaction
with the working of the scheme. how
ever. in Germany, as in every other
country where it has been tried. In
Australia an old age pension law, with
government support, has recently gone
into force. Already grave defects
have been found in Its practical ap-
plication. In England Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain has been for years an
earnest advocate of national measure
tor old age pensions. The debate over
the pension bill introduced by him
was one OF the features OF the parlia-
ment now in session. In most cases
these old age pension schemes have
been practically compulsory life insur-
ance laws, the state guaranteeing the
payment of pensions to persons over
SIS who have not sufficient means for
independent support, and itself pay
ing certain percentage OF each PEN
sion.
