sons. These people are neither parti-
sans nor reactionaries.
Do they believe with President
Roosevelt that "the successful opera
ton of the Social Security Act is
the best proof that it was soundly
Iconceived?" They do not. Indeed, the
American Association for Social Sc
curity finds that the Act is neither
"soundly conceived" nor that its oper-
alton has been successful.
Created Greater Insecurity
Instead of increasing purchasing
power, the Association finds the Act
has diminished it. Instead of giving
workers security, the Association finds
the Act has created greater insecurity
for them. Instead of helping industrial
workers, the Association finds that
the Acts chief result has been to
create new bureaucracy and govern
ment jobs for tens of thousands of
clerks.
Referring to New Deal claims of
the success" achieved in the old age
insurance system, the Association as
serts that SEARCH as we might, how
ever, the success in this stupendous
national undertaking seems confined
to the issuance of about 38,000,00O
social security numbers activ-
ity characterized by the Association
as unprecedented, costly, irrevelant
and unnecessary"
The average lump sum old age pay
ment up to April, the Association
found was $3.50, although New
York executive who worked (and still
does) for seven corporations was re-
ported to have received $1,001.67
More significant, the Association
found, was "the deepening insecurity
stimulated by this system" adding
that while the United States Treas
ury paid $2,935,829 to old age bene-
fciaries it collected in taxes from
workers and employers for old age in
surancea total Of $577, 45O,100.
"Since the employer contributions
are generally included in the price ot
goods" the Association Bulletin adds
at means that for every dollar spent
in old age insurance payments to in
crease the purchasing power of work
ers, $197 of sorely needed purchasing
power were withdrawn from them and
spent for other purposes"

New Deals idea for the more abund-

Space is lacking to give other con-
illusions reached by the Association,
except for a word about unemploy-
ment insurance. Pointing out that the
average benefit paid to the unem-
ployed totaled only $15.46 per month,
irrespective of whether the unem-
ployed person was single or had a
family with many dependents, the AS
ISOLATION made this observation:
"The evidence is sufficient to indi-
cate that not only has the operation
of the unemployment insurance laws
so far not proved that these laws
have been soundly conceived, but, on
the contrary, it definitely points to the
fact that these laws are not sue
ceeding in providing even as little pro-
lection as the totally inadequate home
relief

LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN MAILMAN
Publicity Director, Republican National Committee

Whenever anyone dares to suggest
that the Social Security Act is some
what less than perfect he Immediately
&c assailed by the New Deal propa-
oandists as a reactionary, a Tory, a
fend. an enemy of mankind, or worse.
Even though the criticism is construc-
tive and is designed to improve the ad-
ninistration of the act for the benefit
of the wage earners, the critics voice
is drowned out by shouts that he is
seeking it's repeal. Indecent motives
are attributed to everyone who disa-
orees even in the slightest with the
President and his New Dealers.
Republican criticism of the Social
Security Act has not been directed at
the objective of the act, "to provide a
greater measure of security for Amer
lean wage earnest and thereby to en-
nance the welfare of the Nation as a
whole" The point of Republican criti-
cism has been that as drafted the So
cial Security Act does not and will not
promote greater security for wage
earners. Republicans in Congress have
warned that the heavy taxes on pay
rolls and pay envelopes levied under
the act would have harmful effects,
with inconsequential benefits.
Contributed To Depression
Truth in time will establish itself.
We have heard Mariner S. Eccles,
chairman of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and
ar ardent New Dealer, say that the
withdrawal of consuming power thru
social security taxes is one Of the
major contributory causes of the
Roosevelt depression.
Now we have the testimony of the
American Association for Social Sc
curity, published in its current bulle-
tin. This organization for years has
fought for "the promotion Of social
security and social insurance in the
United States" Its executive secre-
tary is Abraham Epstein, frequently
called the father of Social Security
in this country. Its president is Bishop
Francis ]. Mcconnell of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. Among its di-
rectors are Monsignor Francis J.
Haas, dean of the School of Social
Service, Catholic University, Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise, Mrs. Mary X. Sink

and many other socially-minded per-

Here are some of the odd trade
facts disclosed In the new trade
treaties with Great Britain and
Canada:
The United States sells Great
Britain more than a million dollars
worth of false teeth yearly.
The United States cut its duty
on Canadian Christmas trees in
half; virtually all imported trees
come from Canada.
Air conditioning hasn't reached or
isn't needed in the British Isles.
The United States sold only $127 900
of such equipment there last year.
The United Kingdom buys four
fifths of the total American exports
of oysters. Duty was cut in half
by the new treaty.
Pecans were virtually unknown in
Europe until 1885. when American
growers crashed the British mar
ket. Americans sold 9lS0,000 worth
Of pecans to Britain this year.

Old Table Brought Out.
The pacts were signed in an elabo-
rate setting. An old walnut table,
used as a cabinet table in every
administration from that of Abra-
ham Lincoln to that of Theodore
Roosevelt, was taken from its stor-
for the occasion.
Behind it sat President Roosevelt
in tall carved oak chair. At his
right was Ambassador Lindsay, at
his left Mackenzie King. Secretary
Hull sat at one end of the table and
A. E. Overton of the British trade
delegation, which conducted the
negotiations, at the other.
Behind them were potted palms,
bowls Of huge white chrysanthe-
NUNS and the red window draperies
of the white walled east room. Be-
fore them, the cabinet, diplomats, q
few members of Congress and other
notables, hundred or more, were
seated in crescent of stiff gilded
chairs.
