AGREEMENT HAS | BEEN REPORTED
 | BYCHINA-JAPAN
High Japanese Officers Visited Shanghai for
 Ratification
BY DON K, KING (Unitel Press Stan Correspondent }

(United Press Stan COFrespOndent) }
 Shanghai, March 1.-(UP)-
 China and Japan were reported to-
 day to have agreed, in general terms, on cooperation to lease dip-
 iomatic and economic tension" in the Far East.
 The agreement, 1t was said, was
 the result of visit by high Jap
 anese military officers, understood
 to have the approval of the Jap-
 anese foreign office and war of- flee. 1
 2Chiang Kai-Shcls, commander-in- chief of the Chinese armies, was
 said to have been the, plenipoten- tiary for his government. Terms of the agreement as re- ported. presumably subject to ap- proval by the Japanese privy coun-
 cil and the chiefs of the Chinese Kuomintang governing party, were: af Il. Complete cessation of anti Japanese agitation in China, and
 inauguration of a publicity cam-
 paign for Chinese-Japanese under standing.
 9. Japan to give credits to aid China in it's financial difficul- ties.
 3. Japanese advisers, financial,
 economic and military, to replace other foreign advisers, particularly the German military mission which
 has been training Chinese govern ment soldiers for years. The agreement was said to car-
 ry a proviso that it must be rati- fled within six to nine months af- ter its formal drafting from its present verbal form to diploma tic document.
 A spokesman for the Japanese
 legation denied that such an agree rnent had been reached. He ad-
 mitted that there had been con
 versations. However, denial had
 been expected because of the deli
 cate and so far informal nature of the agreement.
 | Japanese army officers, and es- | pecially those in Manchukuo, were
 said to have been leading sponsors | of the agreement.
 As reported, the agreement was

Probably the most effective boom

that for Governor Alfred M. Landon

people If not with politicians. be-
cause Of its quite. subtle appeal on
two fronts-to business and to
farmers.
II can be guessed that a man
who could carry Kansas for the re-
publicans during a Roosevelt land
slide year Is a shrewd campaigner.
Republicans have carried very
few states the past four years. Cali
fornia and Kansas are the most
important.
ALT Landon fas he likes to be
called Is not a farmer, although
he recently bought q half interest
IN a ranch. He is a 5ig-tlme oil
operator. He Is Big Business every
inch OF the way. But he has a ma

His weakness. however, would be

Not Talking Much
Governor Landon IS not talking
much, as we have intimated.
There has. however. emanated
from Kansas something that counts
more than talk-"Kansas Is bal
ancing her budget"
But the democrats shout back IN
anger:
1T is the federal government
that Is balancing II. Huge SUMS are
going to Kansas for relief and farm
bounties. Governor Landon merely
sits back and lets us bear the bur-
den"
It is queer--but farmers like that
sort Of shrewdness.
Chances i'm Convention
Governor Landon will not be a
first chico. Other men. who have
been In the arena for years, simply
will jostle any newcomer aside.

RISKS ARISING OUT OF ILL
HEALTH.

AS a first measure for meeting the
very serious problem of sickness in
families with low income We recon-
mend Nationwide preventive public
health program. 1t should be largely
financed by State and local govern
mentS and administered by State and
local health departments, the Federal
Government to contribute financial
and technical aid. The program con-
templates % grants in aid to be
allocated through State departments
of health to local areas unable to
finance public health programs from
State and local resources; (2) direct
aid to States in the development of
State health services and the training
of personnel for State and local health
work. and 80 additional personnel in
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice to investigate health problems of
interstate or national concern.
The second major step We believe To
be the application of the principles
of insurance to this problem. We are
not prepared at this time to make
recommendations for a system of
health insurance. We have enlisted
the cooperation of advisory groups
representing the medical and dental
professions and hospital management
in the development of a plan for
health insurance which will be bene-
fetal alike to the public and the pro-
feSSions concerned. We have asked
these groups to complete their work
by March /, 1885, and expect to make
further report on this subject at that
time or shortly thereafter.
Evening star., 1935-01-17
SECURITY FOR CHILDREN

A large group of the children at
present maintained by relief will not
be aided by employment or unemploy-
ment compensation. There are the
fatherless and other young" families
without a breadwinner. To meet the
problems of the children in these
families no less than As States have
enacted children's aid laws. generally
called mothers pension laws. How
ever. due to the present financial diff
ficulty in which many States find
are on the relief lists than are in re-
ceipt of children'S aid benefits. We
are strongly of the opinion that these
families should be differentiated from
the permanent dependents and unem-
ployables, and we believe that the
children's aid plan is the method
which will best care for their needs.
We recommend Federal grants-in-aid
on the basis of one-half the State
and local expenditures for this pur-
pose Zone third the entire cost. "
Such Federal grants-in-aid are a
new departure, but it is imperative to
give them if the mothers care method
of rearing fatherless families is to be-
come nationally operative. The
amount of money required is less
than the amount now given to fam
lilies of this character by the Federal
Government by the less desirable route
of emergency relief. An initial ap-
preparation of approximately s25 ,000,-
600 per year is believed to be suffi-
cient. If the principle is adopted of
making grants equal to one-half of
the State and local expenditures lone
third the total cost, with special as
to States temporarily inca
pacitated, this sum might in time rise
to a possible S5O,000,0O0. Federal
grants should be made conditional on
passage and enforcement of manda-
tory State laws and on the submis-
sion of approved plans assuring mini
mum standards in investigation,

ton. After q specified date State

them. The necessary rules and reg
ulations for collection of contributions
are to be prescribed by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
We suggest that the Federal, Gov
ernment make no contribution from
general tax revenues to the fund dur
ing the years in which income exceeds
payment from the funds, but that it
guarantee to make contributions, when
the level of payments exceeds income
from contributions and interest, suffi-
cient to maintain the reserve at the
level of the last year in which income
exceeded payments. According to our
actuarial estimates the reserve on
this basis would be maintained at
about Sl5,25O 100000.
Five Years Before Benefits.
No benefits are to be paid until
after the system has been in opera
toin for five years, nor to any person
who has not at least 200 weekly con-
tributions, nor before the member has
reached the age of IS and retired
from gainful employment. Persons
retiring after having passed age IS
will receive only the same pension as
if they had retired at that age. The
benefits are normally to take the form
of annuities payable during the re-
mainder of the life of the annuitant.
Should a member die before the age
of 65, or before the amount of his
own contributions has been paid to
him as an annuity, the difference be-
tween his contributions and the
amount which he may have received
as an annuity, with interest at per
cent, is to be paid as death benefit
to his dependents. Members who have
made contributions for a short time,
but who, on reaching age IS are not
entitled to an annuity (becauSe they
have not made 200 contributions, are
to be refunded their own contribu-
tions with per cent interest.
Under one proposal considered by
the committee, the annuity pay
able to members in whose behalf
contributions are first paid during
the years 1887 to 1941 shall be
computed as follows: If they are
eligible to retirement in the sixth
year after becoming members, their
annuity shall be equal to is per cent
of the average weekly wage during the
period they have been within the sys-
tenn, not counting that portion of the
wage in excess of $3.50 per month. For
those retiring in the next five years
this annuity is to be increased by
per cent of the average weekly wage
for each additional 40 weeks of con-
tributions, but the increase shall not
exceed l per cent of each year Of
membership in the system. There
after the initial annuity is to be in
creased by 2 per cent for each 40
weekly contributions, but not more
than per cent per year, until q
maximum pension Of 40 per cent Of
the first $50 average monthly wages

VOLUNTARY OLD ACE
ANNUITIES.

The voluntary system of old age
annuities We suggest as a supple
ment to the compulsory plan that
contemplates the Government shall
sell to individuals. on a cost basis,
deferred life annuities similar to those
issued by commercial insurance COM
panies: that is, in consideration of
premiums paid at specified ages, the
Government would guarantee the pur-
chaSers a definite amount of income,
starting at IS. for example, and con-
tinuing throughout the lifetime of the
annuitant. The primary purpose of
the plan is to offer persons not in
cluded within the compulsory system
systematic and safe method of pro-
viding for their old age. 1t could also
be used by insured persons as a means
of supplementing the old age income
provided under the compulsory plan.
The plan should be designed pri-
marily for the same income groups
as those covered by compulsory sys-
TEN. hence provision should be made
for the acceptance of relatively small
premiums Gas little as 81 per month";
and the maximum annuity payable to
any individual should be limited to
the actuarial equivalent of $50 per
month.
There should be a study Of the
feasibility of Government contribu-
tions toward the annuities of people
now middle aged or older with income
Of s2,500 per year or less who come
under this voluntary plan, compar-
able to the unearned part of the an
nuities which will be paid by the
Government to people of middle age
or older who are brought under the
compulsory system. This is but fair
deal to farm owners and tenants. self
employed persons and other people
of small incomes whose economic
situation may be not one whit better
than that of many workers covered
by the compulsory system. Further
study will be necessary, however, be-
fore a practical method of accom-
plishing this purpose can be sug-
gested, one which will avoid the dan
ger of benefiting those persons who
need assistance least.

ADMINISTRATION

The creation of Special Insurance
Board within the Department of Labor.
to be appointed by the President and
with terms to insure continuity of ad-
ministration. is recommended to ad-
minister the Federal unemployment
compensation act and the system OF
Federal contributory old-age annuities.
The Secretary of the Treasury is
recommended to have full RESPONSE
bility for the safeguarding and invest
ment of all social insurance funds.
The Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration is recommended as the
most appropriate existing agency for
the administration of non contributing
old-age pensions and grants in aid for
dependent children. If this agency
should be abolished. the President
should designate the distribution of
its work.
1t is recommended that all activities
Of the Federal Government dealing
with the administration of laws based
on these recommendations be co-ordi-
mated and systematized.
