The principle Of oid-age pensions has
been fully accepted by the present Lib.
eral government OF Great Britain. The
Chancellor or the Exchequer. In his
budget speech last month, "earmarked'
a million aud half pounds OF next
years surplus MS the nucleus OF n fund
for the purpose. 1t is estimated that
not less than ten million pounds will be
required annually for comprehensive

France and in Germany. In Germany
both the laborlng man and the employ.
er are required TO contribute a certain
sum every year 10 an insurance fund
III the laborer falls III he receives
small sum weekly, and when he be.
comes old an annuity is paid to him.
Although the government supplements
the fund thus raised. the system was
originally one of mutual Insurance
against sickness and against need in
ola age, The French old-age pension I
law, passed last year, Is based on that
In force IN Germany. The Liberal cab
met following the lead of the British
experts on poor relief has rejected the
compulsory Insurance form of old-age
reiler, and has adopted the principle of
the laws Of New Zealand. In that col
ony no contributions are required from
working men, but an annual appropria-
ION Is made by the government out of
when a pension OF ninety dollars
'ear Is paid TO every worker who has
'assed the age of 50 ana has lived in
he colony twenty-five years. The New
Zealand plan is appealing forcibly to
ne advocates OF the pension system I'm

that the government endow
