State Aid Is Vital

Right now 1t is extremely impor- tant to remember that except for the long range program of old age annuities or benefits-a phase which you mustn't confuse with federal grants to states for immediate old age pensions, which can be effective as soon as congress appropriates- the carrying out of the program de- pends on state legislative and ad- r1iniStrative cooperation.
 State programs must be devised and approved here and state funds provided to match" the federal grants for pensions to needy aged, mothers, and blind persons as well as the federal subsidies for other welfare work.
 Each state must 1egislate @ sat- isfactory unemployment insurance program, within certain broad federal standards, if 1t is to re- tain at home Q stipulated 90 per cent of the amount of unemploy- ment taxes its employers will be paying to the federal treasury.
 Only eight states have set up unemployment insurance laws. Some fast work is expected in l936 on the part of many others. Colossal Task Faced
 The administrative job created here by the program will be tre- mendous and the bulk of 1t will arise when the Social Security Board begins to establish individ- ual files for more than 25,000, ,000 Americans who will be paying into the Federal Old Age Reserve Fund toward their annuities in later life.
