eral specific purposes. In addition, I
believe they have made one other
tremendous contribution to our ma
tional spirit and consciousness. 1t IS
rather like a feeling Of being insured,
to some extent, against future dangers
for which in the past we had no in
surance. If I may borrow a term
from the regular insurance companies,
it is new kind Of group insurance
the family group. The feeling Of
participating in this new type of insur-
ance, the knowledge that it goes
beyond anything we have known
before, is something new in the Amer
ican way of life.
I might add. in passing, that it is
also something quite different from
the hollow claims that we have placed

$204, 100000 for almost 10000 in

Forty plans for aid to dependent chill

Funds for Dependent Children.
At the risk of pressing my point too
hard, want to ask that you consider
the last of these-aid to dependent
children, sometimes known as mothers
pensions. Here is the greatest recog-
milton Of the relationship of what FAM
lily group means in the development
and growth Of social security. For
Just as the objective Of social security
is protection OF the wage earner's FAM
lily life, so the essential factor in that
family is the protection of the children
in 1t. When you prevent the destruc-
tiun OF families by providing the
mother, or other close relatives, with
an assured income for the home care
of the child. you establish social Sc
curity right at the base. Charity may
or may not begin at home; am sure
that security does.

act. a number Of ether social programs

Put 1t, rseher, that we have taken
some Of the uncomfortable rugtedness
out Of rugged tndividualism.
This new feeling, sincerely believe,
Is more important than the fact that
the act now has its limitations
Through that feeling many of these
limitations may eventually be removed.
We who have the duty Of administer

those restrictions. We, too, want to see
the acts provisions extended to groups
such as domestic and agricultural
workers. We, too, have been studying
the possibilities of setting up ad-
ditional forms Of social security in the
act. We have been looking ahead,
but at the same time We have tried to
perform adequately what We have to do
now. Our reach should exceed our
grasp-but the grasp must be firm.
And, looking at the social security
act-both as it is today and forward
to what it may become-by all means
let us try to see it clearly, and in re-
lation to its setting IN the national
scene. Social security and the social
security act are not the same. This
Is most important fact to remember
The social security act is legislative

THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON TUESDAY.

In most States win run from q mini
mum Of IS to . maximum Of SIS, and
will be given for q period of about IL
to IL weeks. These benefits are pay
able In 23 States next January, with
the rest Of the States following later
IN the same year or in the following
year.
Right here want to touch briefly
on one phase Of the State unemploy-
ment insurance programs which Is
sometimes overlooked. No one claims
that unemployment insurance can
take the place Of job-and it is not
supposed to. The only complete pro-
lection against loss of q Job is an
other one. However, the unemploy-
ment insurance program recognizes
the Importance of helping the man
who is out Of work to find other en-
ploymert in the following way: The
social security act requires that un-
employment insurance payments must
be made through public employment
office. This means that the unem-
ployed worker will register at the em-
ployment ONCE, which will attempt to
find other employment for him. Then,
If another job cannot be found within
the short waiting period, the payment
OF unemployment insurance will begin.
Old-Age Insurance.
Here again, as In old-age insurance,
the program, although seemingly for
the individual, in fact merges with
and helps maintain the stability of
the family pattern. Who is hit hard
est by loss Of job? The unemployed
worker? The wife? The child? Surely
the blow is just as severe for any Of
the three, and it is felt equally by all
Of them.
Old-age and unemployment insur-
ance are the protective measures
which have been set up in the social
security act against the future. What
about the present? Here we have been
working chiefly to aid three needy
groups: the aged, the blind, and de-
pendent children.
Actual operation Of these programs
rests with the States. After their
plans for such types of public assist
ance have been approved by the So
cial Security Board, they receive Fed
eral funds which are added to the
amounts they themselves spend.
So far. total of $235, 900, 900 in
Federal funds has gone to the States
for assistance to almost two million
persons. I am speaking in round num-
bers for If put in the odd dollars,
and pennies, you would forget the
millions which are the interesting
figures. Let me break these figures
down just bit further so that you
may see in some detail what progress
has been made. There are so approved

ment Of monthly benefits to the sur
vivors. I hope the practical means
Of carrying this through will be found
This, then, is what we have begun
to do toward maintenance of the pat
tern in old age.
Now, what else do we do?
Reservoir of Security.
Similar to the fear of an insecure
old age is the fear of insecurity when
the Job is gone. The incomes OF most
American families are used up COM
pletely to meet daily expenses. When
the job is gone there is nothing to fall
back on, no reservoir-however small
from which to draw until employment
can be resumed.
In our Federal-State system of en-
ployment insurance, we are creating
that reservoir for the first time. In
the short period of its existence the
social security &C, has encouraged
Nationwide adoption Of unemployment
insurance laws. Through these laws
the eligible unemployed worker will
receive, after short waiting period

enacted program for low-cost housing
and slum clearance also has our OBJ
1ective. So do proposals for standards
OF wages and hours. Conservation Of
natural resources, resettlement OF
workers from barren areas to more
productive ones-these, too, have the
same goal as the social security act.
Many roads lead to social security,
and We must use them all.
I may have wandered a bit afield
from my specific topic. Let me re-
turn to it, in closing, by extending
for the Social Security Board our
special appreciation to certain mem
bers of my audience tonight. I have
IN mind the hundreds Of women's Or
ganizations - societies, unions, and
similar groups throughout the coun-
| try-which, ever since the passage
OF the social security act, have shown
deep interest In it. They have,
through careful study of its back
ground, its provisions and its pur-
poses, contributed tremendously to-
ward greater understanding of the
nature of our work.
And to all Of you who are listening,
may I say that the social security act
is not ours, who administer it. 1t is
yours-yours because you wanted it.,
and yours because Of the stake you
have in it,
| We look to you for guidance.
Evening star., 1937-10-12

You and know this is not so. What
the individual actually wants from
the old-age insurance program is tile
meaus through which he can keep
up the pattern of family relationship.
Old-age insurance means he will be
able to do this through his financial
contributions and through the fact
that he will not be a burden on the
others.
Many tears have been shed over
the poor house. It has been made
the symbol of all that is wretched,
mean, undesirable. But at the root
Of this feeling is one primary fact
that usually one goes to the poor
house alone. The individual has been
wrenched completely out of the re-
lationship which was seemingly in
separable from living The pattern
has been broken.
That is why the old-age insurance
provisions of the social security act
includes the lump-sum payment for a
workers survivors, to which I have
just referred. Furthermore, we are
studying at the present time the pos
sibility of giving this relationship
