BY CYRIL ARTHUR PLAYER.

LONDON, June 5.-WheneVer there
Is something to be got for nothing
there will be found persons to take ad-
vantage of 1t. In scheme OF Sucn
magnitude as unemployment insurance
in Great Britain, literally expanded to
meet prolonged emergency, abuses
are inevitable.
The extent of the abuse, estimated in
cash, is impossible to determine. A
Labor official in charge of important
research for the General Council of the
Trades Union Congress set it at S.
100000. 1t could be at best guess
and a guess limited by troublesome
definition of what is an abuse"
The writer, on the basis of converse
tions with representatives of all views
Of the problem and on a definition OF
abuse" which seems to him conserva-
tive. would set the figure at triple that
estimate, at least.
It IS clear that the ABUSES" form an
important financial item and more
important social problem. but that the
heavy expenditure Is due to principles
of the scheme, as now in operation. and
not to any single factor involving
wastage of money on the unworthy.
Never Based on Minimum.
There never has been any means
to the original plan, qualification de-
ponds (setting aside the matter OF con-
tributions) on the length of time dur
ing which there has been unemploy-
ment; 1t is never based on a minimum
earned weekly income.
The Labor ministry itself sees "a
number of difficulties, some of them ad-
ministrative (for example, that of as
certaining the precise amount earned(
vThnrn O I'd nthnrS n a.
ture, such as the effect such system
might have on the level of wages"
Theoretically, the applicant for eX-
tended benefit must prove
/. That he Is normally employed in
insurable employment and will normally
seek to obtain such employment.
2. That in normal times insurable
employment suited to his capacities
would be likely to be available to him.
3. That he is making every reasonable
effort to obtain employment suited to
his capacities and is willing to accept
such employment.
Obviously, all these tests are difficult
to apply-in fact, the discovery of an
effective test veXes the soul of the
administrator Of the benefit. The third
test is psychological. for it is extremely
difficult to decide whether any particu-
lar individual is genuinely seeking work,
o specific job for which he Is suited.
Problem in Mind Reading.
Whereas the test for health insurance
benefit is a doctors certificate and the
test for old-age pension 2 birth certifi-
cate. the test for eligibility to unem-
ployment benefit, now that the bars
are down and the original plan Eek
tended" is more or less a problem in
mind reading.
The importance of waiting period"
before benefit can be claimed has been
explained in preceding article, on the
basis that the first few days Of individ-
ual unemployment are easiest for the
worker to support and the most ex-
pensive for the State Cor the fund.- to
pay for. The waiting period is six days.
Following that, the rule governing
continuity of unemployment sufficient
to make a man eligible for benefit is
this:
Any three days of unemployment
whether consecutive or not, within a
period of six consecutive days are treat

Nonetheless, the disease this Winter

prevalence of influenza was reported
from Poland in November Within
month it was reported in France and
Germany and was spreading into Den
