insurance. for Men Who Go to War
to Replace Old Pension System
By w. C. MeAdoo. Secretary Of the Treasury

For the first time in the history Of the United
States a concerted effort on governmental initiative Is
now being made to provide adequate and scientific
financial protection for the officers and enlisted men
Of the army and navy for their dependents.
Instead Of proceeding along the old course Of fight
ing a war first, and caring afterwards for injured sol
diers and sailors and the families Of those killed, the
government is now at the very outset Of Americas entry
into the war laying plans for insuring and indemnify
ing its fighting men. The plan is intended to take the

place of the pension system 8 far a concerns men and women engaged
IN the present war. 1t is based upon the fundamental idea that the gov
ernment should, as a matter of justice, protect its soldiers and sailors,
and their dependent families, and should do this with due regard for
conditions as they exist today.
Workmeu's compensation laws, pension laws in the United States
and foreign countries, Insurance practice, and other related questions
have been investigated during the preparation Of the plans, and as q result
information viii be presented TO congress which II ls hoped Will lead TO
the enactment Of legislation both just and humane.
The necessity for such legislation is admittedly more pressing in this
war than in any other to which the United States a a party, because
at the outset the government has adopted the seechve draft system. 1t
8 generally admitted that under such conditions the government has q
solemn duty to perform to those selected.
In working out the new system, it is deemed essential that a system
for re-educatlon and rehabilitation be established, SO that injured men
may be fitted rs far as possible for lives of usefulness either in their
former or some other vocahons.
