SOCIAL SECURITY
 ACT CRITICIZED !I E )
Meyerhans Informs N. @wanians That Measure Is Defective

An assertion that the chief aim of
 tho social security act, to relieve
 iaborers of unnecessary burdens,
 was going awry and that it was
 conceived in haste and perhaps
 without the proper consideration. Alfred Meyerhans launched forth iii bitter criticism of the measure yes- terday atthe Kiwanis club luncheon held at the Elton. .s At the outset of his talk MT. Mey- eyhans stated that it was his belief, end the belief of many other men, thath the right Of workers Co have social security is one that shpuld not be questioned. The present leeislation, he further contended, is not the best manner iii which
 this end can be accomplished. There
 is no excuse for the defects in the
 bill as 1t now stands, because soc ciaI security has been experiInented
 with in Europe for the past fifty
 years. This country, he claimed,
 does not compare favorably with European nations In the Ynatetr.
 The speakers concluding sugges- l ton was to the effect that t cer. taintly is apparent that . little less
 haste and Q little more old fash- toned common sense would have produced . law that might have
 helped to solve the acute indus- trial problem that this one was in. tended to help.

 One vast change in the pension scale was made which has not been generally followed iil other countries. Tn January, 1920, on complaint that the amounts allowed were no longer sufficient, because of the drop in the vaiue of the franc, and the rise in the cost of living. every pensioner was granted i40 per cent addition to the sums he had been drawing.
 Special legislation has also been passed to take care of the helpless cases of disabled iaen--the blind, the tubercular, the paraiyzed--givi1g them as high as $500 extra per aE'- mum.
 Last year there were still on the rolls more than 1000, 900 persioned soldiers, eO0, 900 widows and orphans, end eo0,ooo parents of soldiers en- titled to pensions. z.-lt, x z ys

not to exceed ss per week.
 The German system of pensions ii ct the same time more scientific and more complicated than the British All who came back from the war uninjured or not disabled, were barred from the pension system German scientific planning came into the pension scheme in two df- 8erent ways:
 (i) It was recognized that the disabled man who in pre.war lie drew . high salary or wage should get c higher pension than the man who drew c lower salary or wage provided his disability now pre- vented him from working as for rnerly.
 t2) It was recognized that the cost of living differed. Thus tho veterans who lived in large cities got . higher pension than those who dweit in the country or in vil- lages.
 Factories Must Hire Injured
 The basic pension rate was fixed at O40 marks (e2iO per year for the 100 Der cent disabled man.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-30

For the men who are disabled 50 per cent or more and who have no financial resources outside their peri- sions, there Is added . "zusatzrente" of 604 marks te2oi.00).
 Finally, in the ease of the 100 per cent disabled man, who is blind, the veteran is given an Alsatian dog to iead him about and also food d. lowance for the dog. The top allow ance for 6 100 per cent disabled man thus runs to something like eSbo n American money. ss

BY MILTON BRONNER

BY MILTON BRONNER (NEA Service Stan Correspondemt) Y ONDON, Jan. 30 - The A cabinets and the parlia- ments of Europe have tried to do justice not only to World War veterans and their dependents, but also to the taxpayers.
 They have had to consider the impoverished condition of their treasuries. and their peoples after four years of terrific war. And ir doing 50, Great Britain, France, Ger many and Italy have worked out practically the same great basic rules:
 (i) That only those should
 be entitled to pensions who had suffered crippling wounds or whose
 earning capacity had been i'm.
 paired by diseases resulting from
 war service.
 (2) That compensation should
 not be upon . uniform scale for
 every deserving soldier entitled to
 pension, but according to the
 mathematical amount Of disability
 he had suffered. q
 (3) That there should be 6 time
 limit after which no further ap-
 plications for pensions could be
 considered.
 The British swung into action even before the war ended. Tn perl- sions for officers and men and their families, for hospitals, for artificial limbs and for ell other forms of TO. lief and care, the British Ministry of Pensions had expended 1,le2 O00,- 900 pounds from 1917 to the end of the fiscal year Io36. Tn Afnericai, money this Is Q bit short of six bile lion dollars. Tn the year io20-2l, the peak year, there were some $500, 900 beneficiaries, including the men, their wives, parents and children. The cost that year was 106, 900, 900 pounds or some $530, 900 900. Includ- ing dependents of all kinds. the number of pensioners has now sunk to slightly over one million. The esti- mated cost of pensions, etc, for the last financial year was only 43,000,- 900 pounds or about e2i6, ,000,0 900.
 British Basic Rate SlO . Week
 Tn considering pensions the basic figure was that for the man who was 100 per cent disabled. For instance, if 6 man were considered 90 per cent disabled, he got 90 per cent of what the totally disabled man got. The lowest degree entitled to . pension was 20 per cent. The same perce1t- ages applied to the pensions and al- lowances made to the veterans wife and children. Bearing this in mind, here are the pension figures for the 100 per cent disabled soldier:
 The private soldiers weekly al- lowance, 5000; the wife's allow. ances, for the first child si.e1, and $50 for each other child. For widows over 70 or with children, S0.66; widows under 60 and without children, $500. In the case of par. ents of soldiers killed in the war and who were in needy circufi1- stances, pensions do not exceed $500 per week. 100 per cent disabled men, who require constant attendance, are given on additional allowance,
