Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

@. SO When will the Social Sec
urity Board begin to make old-age
benefit payments?
A. SO Lump-sum payments are
now being made daily, but 1t ap-
pears many persons who have sums
due them have not filed claims. No
payment is made unless claim is fill
ed. If you have reached 65 since
last January 1 and have been paid
wages for work done as an employee
since last December 81 in any en-
ployment which Is not specifically ex-
cepted under the old-age benefit pro-
visions of the Social Security Act a
payment is due you. If you have a
legal interest in the estate of a work
er who has died since last December
81 a payment may be due you.
Your nearest Social Security Board
Field Office will give you every as
sistance.
O. 70 Is 1t true that $40 is the
least any worker will get under the
Social Security Act when he reaches
65 years?
A. 70 The minimum monthly
old-age benefit payment which will
be made to those employees who
qualify for monthly benefits will be
$40 a month. Payment of these
will not begin until January 1912.
Meanwhile lump-sum payments are
made to workers who have reached
SIS since last January l and have
qualified for lump-sum payments.
The amount of lump-sum payment
to an individual will vary, and will
depend on the amount of the wages
earned by the individual. The pay
ment will be 31a percent of total
wages For example: suppose wages
amounted to $1,000; the lump-sum
payment would be S35.
@. II When will unemployment
compensation benefit payments be-
gin?
A. II Payments of unemploy-
ment compensation benefits will be
begun to eligible workers next Jan
uary in the District of Columbia,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia and many other
States.
Q. ~ How much public assist
ance am l entitled to each month?
A. 70 The public assistance part
of the Social Security program is
STATED Federal program, which is ad-
ministered by the State, in accord
ance with a State plan approved by
the Social Security Board as meeting
the requirements of the Social Sec
urity Act. The Act does not spec
ify what amount shall be paid to an
individual. The amount is deter
mined by the State and is based on
the needs of the individual. Do not
confuse old-age assistance with old
age benefits

JAPAN AGAINST THE WORLD

Condemned by the League of Ma
tions and by world opinion every
where except in Germany and Italy,
Japan last week found herself Public
Pariah No. 1.
When news reached London of
what was to date the wars biggest
butchery-3,00O coolies blown to
shreds during a two-day bombing OF
Canton-a cockney crowd milled an
gritty before the Japanese Embassy
with cries of Call off your murder
ers!" Labor unions and peace socie-
ties sponsored a boycott ON Japanese
goods. A London milk-bar magnate
cancelled an order for 100000
Japanese straws- "straws to show
which way the wind is blowing" I'm
pressed by public wrath, Downing
Street sent another Mortified note to
Tokyo.
Because human life is cheap in the
Orient, Japan's army found it hard
to appreciate appalled, world opinion
But Japan's business men, anxious
not to endanger their $1O,00O,000
British silk market, cautioned the
army.
The army clique, however. still
over-ruled Japanese business, and
the army knew full we'll that the
Nine-Power pact guaranteeing
China's territorial integrity had no
teeth: that foreign protests could
only be enforced with warships; and
that however loudly western powers
might cry that the cat ought to be
belled, none of them wanted to do
the belling.
