PENSIONS SEEN
IN BUSINESS
TREND
BY B. G. FORBES

This country appears to be mov-
ing toward legislation, to provide
for aged workers.
Governor Roosevelt, of New
York, has come out openly for
such action.
Has industry done, Is industry
doing everything within its power
to make State old-age pensions
unnecessary?
Admittedly an increasing num-
Der of large business concerns
have been instituting various plans
to enable employees TO avoid priva-
tions after they are no longer able
to work. But. on the other hand,
far greater number of companies
still act as IL they had no obliga-
tions whatsoever to such employees.
Quite recently one New York
corporation has been looping off
SO many workers that bitter i1s
iignation has been aroused. espe-
. eially as no explanation concern
ing the need for following such
q course has been offered either
the workers or the public. In
this particular case the company
Ii financially strong and pros
porous.
Many Sided Cases
IN one sense, the problem Of
providing for the aged is many
sided. complicated, puzzling. In
another sense. IL can be resolved
into very simple elements.
Briefly. aged workers or others
L. Al IN fhaVNls
selves cannot be allowed to starve
like 50 many famine-stricken Chi
namen. Provision must be made
to permit them to exist.
The necessary cost must, in the
final analysis, be borne mainly,
If not wholly, by industry and
business. In some countries work
ers are called upon to contribute
during their active years. Also,
IN some cases, the Government
directly bears share of the burr
den. with employers contributing
SO much weekly for each indi.
Nidual employe.
IN the end, however, industry
and business must first earn the
money, whether it Is ostensibly
put into the pension fund partly
by the workers and partly by tax
payers or directly by industry.
Have American business and
financial leaders given sufficient
thought to this question: Is it
better for industry to take care
of its own or to turn over this
duty, to politicians?
Let Them Rave
Business rave until it is
l1oarse about Governmental inter.
ference, but the 0ndisputable
truth Is that governmental In.
terference'' has almost always, IL
not always, sprung from wide
spread public dissatisfaction over
something business was guilty Of
.doisfg or not d0ing.

Industry; ana trade continued &C
Rive In DeceraBer and January al
though the general level of prices
remained unchangeds aceording to
the monthly survey Of business
and financial conditions through
out the country made hy the Fed
Sral Reserve Board.
From the financial standpoint.
banking and credit conditions were
influenced chiefly By seasonal
changes iii the demand for. cur
rency and BY requirement for end
of.year financial settlements, ac-
cording to- the boards review. Pre-
linfnary reports for the first half
of January Indicate steady in.
crease in the output OF petroleum
and greater activity in the steel,
automobiles coal and lumber IN
dustries.
Banking and credit conditions In
january were iii lenced chiefly by
the seasonal decline Iii the volume

The board poinfe out that Ct
member banks there was an IN
crease in the total volume OF loans
at the turn of the year, due chie1ly
10 year.end financial settlements and
the temporary withdrawal Of tunds
loaned by corporations in the New
York market. In January, deposits
ana loans Of member banks declined
to approximately the level Of the
early part of December.
'tIn the money market, rates on
calt loans declined sharply in jan
nary. while rates on time loans on
securities remained firm and rates
on acceptances advanced, the re-
view said.
other features of the report fol-
low:
creased in December, but the de.
cline was less than is usual during
the month, and the boards index
was slightly higher than in No
vember and above the level OF
wear ago. Smaller than usual
seasonal reductions were reported
in the daily average output OF steel,
pig iron, automobiles, copper
cement. silk and flour. while cotton
and wool textiles declined consider
ably. Meat packing increased IN
December, reflecting larger output
of pork products, though beef and
mutton production was smaller.
