United States Lax in
Dealing With Old Age

It is significant that the discrimina-
tons practiced against men and WON
en- past their prime are of an origin
peculiarly American. Abroad. such
practices are hardly known. In viz
tually every civilized nation the re-
sponsibllity for the old age OF work
ers has been removed from the indi
vidual concern and properly placed
upon the entire industrial society,
writes Abraham Epstein In the Forum.
Instead OF depending upon each em-
ployer to provide against the handi-
caps Of old age, comprehensive old
age insurance or pension plans have
been instituted which guarantee the
aged worker at least some assistance
in his declining years
These social provisions permit EN-
ployers to engage men and women al
any age without hesitation as long as
they are capable OF performing par
ticular task When they become In
capacitated either the invalidity insur-
ance system or the old age pension
plan takes care of them. In none of
the Industrial countries Is the attain
meut OF the age of forty fraught with
the dangers that confront our Amer

professional May not the solution of
our problem lie along the same pathf
