Support Hearst Findings

FTER fifteen months of intensive study a group of
IA American authorities social security assembled by the
Twentieth Century Fund made recommendations for
of the Social Security Act which in the main confirm and sup
port the earlier findings of the Nonpartisan Social Security
Commission sponsored by the Hearst newspapers.
The similarity Of the conclusions independently reached
more than coincidence.
The broad significance lies in the that the hasy drafting
of the epocha Social Security Act enaed inherent defects
which become apparent to any competent analysts
AS terate and reterate the need for
making social security through basic revision
then Congress likely recognize the need for constructive
action.
The Twentieth Century Fund experts recommend payment
of bigger old benefits and the Hearst Commission stressed
the desrabity of larger conrbuory benefits than
tempated during the first twenty-five of operation of
the plan.
The Fund proposed that benefits in 1889 rather
than in 1912 and the Hearst Commission also suggested that
benefits begin enthusiastically by 1940
The Fund recommended that contributory old benefits
be extended to groups excluded and the Hearst Commits
sion urged that be extended to exempt groups
rapidly Enthusiastically feasible that groups
could be brought under the terms of the Act forthwith
The Fund proposed that ultimately the workers share of
the cost of old benefits be decreased and the Hearst Com
mission urged that in later pay roll taxes be supple
mented by other forms of revenue if needed.
BOTH BODIES OF EXPERTS ADVISED ABANDON
MENT OF THE DANGEROUS HUGE OLD AGE RESERVE
FUND, SUGGESTING AN APPROACH TO A PAY.As-
YOU-GO BASIS, WITH A MODERATE CONTINGENCY
RESERVE.
Both advised posponement of the schedule for increasing
pay roll taxes for social security.
The significant fact is that these similar recommendations
from independent pubicists all of whom friendly
the idea of social security.
In the circumstances time should be lost by Congress in
promoting economic security in insecure world by
ing the defects from the helpful social legislation

Henry Weaver is the dean
of the official House reporters.
He has a summer place at
Front Royal, Va and invited
a few of his friends to spend
a day or two with him. Mel
Melidio, pair clerk, Hans
Jurgenson, tally clerk, and
their wives and John Jurgen-
son, 1S-year-old son OF the
Jurgensons were among the
guests.
In front of Mr.. Weaver's
place is a brook that the
guests thought should harbor
some bass. Mr.. Weaver told
them that If there were any
bass in that brook they were
very small and weren't worth
bothering about.
This statement didn't deter
his guests and a-fishing they
did go. One of the older
ones in the crowd caught a
half-pound bass and then to
their amazement and delight
Johnny caught a pound and a
half bass.
Happily they began to kid
their host about his warning
that there weren't any big
ones in the brook and off to
the kitchen they went to cook
their prize. The fish was cut
open and out crawled a water
moccasin. Yes sir, there was
q full grown snake right inside
the fish.
Now that's what I call a
fish story.
HERE'S AN UNUSUAL OF.
FER.
Members Of Congress have
been advised in a statement
in the form of an affidavit sent
to them that important mes
Sages are being sent around the
country in code.
The sender of this statement
claims that public utterances
by officials published in news
papers don't really mean what
they say but are in code and
he can decode them.
He offers this example: He
says a secret message was de-
coded from a telegram sent
Governor Davey by Frances Per
kinS as printed in the New York
Sun which he says reads when
decided:
do not call general strike
yet. No revolt. We need time.
Confuse issue. Create cOnfu-
The Washington times., 1937-07-17

sion. Yes, we must tie up rail-
road systems"
And he is ready to explain his
discovery to Congress, if they
want it.
THE DEBATE on the Senate
floor is so hot that even the air
conditioning system doesn't save
the Senators.
You can tell almost to the
minute how long a Senator has
been talking by looking at his
sleeves.
AS they enter the chamber in
the morning they are always i'm
maculately dressed. AS they
speak the heat begins to wrinkle
up their sleeves and as they
crate and gesture, their freshly
ironed summer suits begin to
wrinkle from the wrist up until
they begin to look as though
they've been slept in.
But no one makes the mis-
take of thinking they have been
sleeping. For as a matter of fact
it's the most alert Senate that
Washington has seen since the
League Of Nations fight.
TOM HELM is gone from
the precincts of Capitol Hill,
but every now and then there
is evidence that he is still the
erstwhile oracle Of Alabama.
On one occasion he made .
speech to the senior law class
of the University of Alabama
and he recited some verse to
them.
It made such hit he had it
printed and sent it to his friends
on the Hill. One of the verses
was written by Frank L. Stanton
and is entitled Keep a-Going."
"If you strike q thorn or rose
keep a-gOing-
If it halls or If it SnOwS-keep
a-gOing.
'Taint no use to sit and whine
When the fish amt on your
line
Bait your hook and keep

Keep a-gOing

If there be an indivisble cor
ner on the face of the earth. it
is the Holy Land.
If there be a single spiritual
heirloom left in the world to stir
a confused humanity, it springs
from the Jordan, Jerusalem and
Bethlehem.
For 5000 years, Palestine has
remained an unbroken heritage
of mankind. During these thirty
centuries, the moral codes to
which it successfully gave birth
were never altogether extin-
guished in the path of man.
Palestine could be conquered,
1t could be laid low, it could
even be almost depopulated, but
it could never be destroyed.
The British government would
now put Palestine under the
knife. This crucifixion of the
Holy Land is a mortal affront
to the conscience of mankind.
It is an affront which tran
sends the conflict of interests
between the Jews and the Arabs,
the ZioniSts and the MoSlems.
1t Is a challenge even more
challenging than the problem
of finding home for the per-
secuted descendants of those
Hebrews who first made Pales-
tine the shrine of the world.
The British took over this
shrine as trustees for all hui
manity. They undertook to pre-
serve its UNITY, to reeStablish
it once more as a model Of
HARMONY.
From the moment the British
assumed their sacred trust, they
began to sow DISUNITY, to cul.
tivate DISCORD.
Instead of bringing Jews and
Arabs together, both Semites,
they widened their differences
SO as to enable the British to
drive their imperialiStic wedges
into the holy soil.
When the animoSitieS deliber-
ately engendered in Palestine be-
gan to bear bloody fruit. the
British administrators were
ready to reap their harvest. They
set out in quest of a lasting
solution" of the crisis which
they had bred and furthered.
The report of the Royal COM
mission, approved by the Brit
ish Cabinet, pretends to offer
such solution. Its language
is that of justice to all. Its de-
sign is privilege for one-Great
Britain.
1t is part and parcel Of the
grand new deal inaugurated in
1918.
Who does not remember the
Tasting solution" which the
Versailles Treaty was promised
to offer? Who has forgotten the
Tasting solution" Of the forma-
ton Of the League OF Nations?
The principle underlying the
proposed crucifixion Of Pales-
tine is identical with that which
ushered in the Balkanization of
Europe. 1t is the same lasting
solution" which has nailed
nearly all mankind to the cross.
Under the proposed plan
Great Britain would retain con.
troll Of the two major ports OF
The Washington times., 1937-07-17

Palestine, Haifa and Jaffa, the
first largely Jewish and the
second predominantly Arab. She
would retain power over the
strategic port of Akaba and con-
troll over the oil pipeline running
to the Mediterranean.
She would rule Jerusalem,
largely a Jewish city, and use
the revenue derived from there
and from the harborS to finance
her regime.
Under the partition scheme
the Jewish area would have a
large Arab minority and the
Arabs a substantial Jewish mi
nority, so AS TO INSURE
FURTHER HOSTILIT1ES BE-
TWEEN THE TWO PEOPLES.
If the British government had
set out openly to intensity the
crisis in Palestine, with a view
towards the eventual ABSORB
ton of the country into the
empire with the status of a col
ony, it could not have devised
a more effective plan.
But if Great Britain were to
demand candidly that the Holy
Land be made a British colony
it would at least be an act of
high moral courage. 1t would
be in keeping with the tragic
past of Palestine, but would
preserve it intact.
For empires have come and
gone, from the age Of Assyria to
our own days, yet Palestine re-
manned undivided until the
present unholy assault upon its
eternal inYiolability.

Here is a literal translation
from a decree of the German
minister of education, entitled,
Foreign Travel by University
Teachers and Students" issued
a few months ago.
at has frequently been OBJ
served of late that Germans,
and especially professors and
students, when travelling. abroad
for cultural or scientific pur-
poses, have failed to establish
contact with their local national
official representatives. Such
contact is especially important
in countries where Jews exer-
else q predominant influence in
cultural affairs, and where emil
grants seek to press into the
foreground in questions con-
corning German cultural life.
"In these countries, it is partI-
cuIarIy necessary that German
national guests, local or official,
shall be informed Of these local
relationships by the official ma
tional representatives abroad.
II therefore order that all
under control of my ministry,
who travel abroad for study, re-
search or lectures, or for con.
crosses or SIMILAR purposes, shall
on their arrival in foreign
country forthwith get into con-
tact with the competent local
representative Of Germany, with
the foreign organization Of the
Nazi party and with the
branch office o. the German
Academic Exchange Service,
wherever possible. If this is
not done, a short report of the
reasons must be furnished to
me-"
