OLD AGE PENSIONS AND FAMILY
TIES.

The argument that old age pensions
will break down family ties by reliev-
ing the children of the poor of tie
necessity of supporting aged parents.
and that such system, too, would
impair the thrift of the working
classes by destroying their motive to
save money for their later years-this
argument is met in the current Eng
lish discussion by a counter attack
upon the existing social order. What
are the laws of inheritance, it is
asked, but the foe of family ties and
thrift. In the average family Of
wealth, the children look forward not
to supporting their parents, but to
an inheritance of property which they
did not earn, and the requirement Of
property in this manner in no way
encourages thrift. Indeed, there are
countless illustrations of the fact that
the inheritance of ample property is
more ruinous than advantageous to
the heir, who develops extravaganza
in living rather than a propensity to
accumulate. If thrift is a virtue, why
should it be ignored in the arrange
ment of the social system for the chill
dren of wealthy families? The an
swer may be that the poor neeG TO De
thrifty; while the rich can do without
this quality. Thrift, under an aris-
'tocratic system, is class virtue. But
as England is becoming more and
more democratic country, such an
answer loses force, The masses must
see that the laws of inheritance are
essential to the maintenance of an ar
istocracy's existence, and that the
preaching Of thrift to the poor while
the rich are considered beyond its
pale constitutes a defense of class dis
tinctions. In any event, it is evident
that the opponents OF old-age pen
sions who emphasize the argument OF
thrift and family ties have features of
the old social system to handicap
their effectiveness The children of
the rich are not Obliged to support
their parents any more than they are
obliged TO be thrifty, yet family ties
in the wealthy class seem to survive
and flourish.
