Social Security for the Masses Must
Not Be Held Back

Progressive forces throughout the United
States will join with the American Fedora
ton of Labor in regretting the action of the
Ways and Means Committee of the House of
Representatives in refusing to recommend
legislation at this session of Congress extend
ing the benefits of the Social Security Act
to some 6,425, 900 persons now excluded from
it's provisions, including farm laborers, do
nestle servants, bank workers, Gamer and
employees Of non-charitable organizations.
The 1888 convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor declared that every person
who leads a useful constructive life has a
right to security after passing the prime of
productive service" and that therefore the
"coverage Of old-age benefits should be
widened to include all employed persons,
including the self-employed."
This broader coverage was also approved
by the Advisory Council on Social Security,
whose members, including many representa-
tive American citizens from employer and
employee groups and the public, and by the
Social Security Board, representing the
President.
The enactment of the Social Security Act

achievements in the history of the United
States. It's provisions lessen the fear and
insecurity Of millions of persons who are
entitled to its benefits. But fear and in
security are still present in the lives Of mil
lions more who by all the standards of justice
are just as much entitled to social security
when old age approaches as are those already
protected in a modest way by the provisions
Of the Social Security Act.
With the underlying and indisputable JUS
tice Of extending the Social Security Act to
include a few millions of those now barred
from its benefits SO plainly apparent, it is to
be hoped that the Ways and Means Commit
tee will reconsider its decision and recon-
mend amendments to the Act to include at
least the 6,425,OOO persons estimated to be
employed as farm laborers, domestic ser
wants, bank workers, seamen and workers in
non-charitable organizations.

the realization of this goal is an impressive
one.
To labor, National Sharecroppers Week
has particular significance. The Southern
Tenant Farmers Union is in a great degree
insurance that the Southern worker will not
be the tool Of the Northern employers who
seek to escape union restrictions by running
away into the South. The success of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union is a guar
antee that this flight will not avail him and
that the Southern worker, in common with
his Northern brother, is organized and ready
to battle for his rights.

Americas "Refugees-America'S
Problem

Special weeks, clarifying this or that aspect
of our national life, are usually inventions
of an ingenious p%ress-agent. There is little
press-agentry or artificiality about National
Sharecroppers Week, sponsored by the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union, which is
being observed this year from March "a
through March 81. Founded in 1887, Ma
tional Sharecroppers Week assumes greater
Importance this year as the problem with
which it seeks to deal becomes progressively
worse.
"America's Refugees is an apt term to
apply to the ten million slaves of King Cotton
in these days of concern for the plights of
the thousands left homeless in Europe. The
recent demonstration in southeastern Mis-
souri,, when more than 1900 sharecroppers,
their wives and families, sat down" on the
public highways dramatized in effective
fashion the story of these disinherited, facing
eviction from their miserable shacks, being
denied even the right to the impoverished
existence they knew until now.
There are many reasons for these develop
ments, the most significant of which is the
mechanization of cotton agriculture. The
failure of the Federal AAA program to
properly protect the actual farmer in its
subsidies to the cotton landlords has aggra-
waited a bad situation. But it would be I'M
wise to blame the individual landlord for
what is happening; it was keen mind that
once observed that "the class struggle in the
Southwest is between paupers and bank
rupts."
The only immediate answer is support of
the Southern Tenant Farmers Union and its
two-fold program: organization of the actual
farmers INTO a union which will fight for some
measure of alleviation Of crescent conditions.
and seeking to build large-scale cooperative
cotton plantations where the machine would
serve man. The record of the Union since

Intellectual workers in science,
education and the arts, are growing
daily more alive to the Illustration Of
their powers, the Justification Of
values and the lack of a general
guiding and unifying principle with
in their work. They see the de-
struction of all that is meant by "cul-
ture' in the fascist countries, and
the general degradation of it in CAPT
talist democracies. In the face of
this, only two attitudes are possible.
You can adopt a cynical Indifference
or a pathetic fatalism towards the
ends of your work and concentrate
exclusively on method (but sooner
or later you will discover how the
improvement of technique is gov
erned by the social purposes to
which that technique is directed);
or you can set about removing the
obstacles which prevent the full de-
velopment of your work.

HERE AND THERE
N BOOKS

AT the present time the choice for
every intellectual lies between q
fallacious freedom and a conscious
self-discipline for the purpose of at
tanning the possibility of real free
dom for all men and women. His
seeming freedom, by keeping out of
politics, will, in fact, be s~ubservience
to the needs of dominant interests in
society-interests which require that
the work of the intellectual shall
divert attention from the real con-
tent of the life of our time, which is
social struggle, the maintenance of
peace and rational thought. It is
not an accident that books of popu-
lar science deal with the microscopic
infinities of atomic structure and the
macrocosmic immensities of stellar
space. These provide a p~leasurable
feeling of being highly advanced and
in touch with the latest victories of
the intellect, yet induce a vague
pessimistic helplessness at the dwarf
ing of human values by their ire
mendous scales. They divert the
mind from the actual application of
science to the perfectioning Of instru-
ments of destruction, from the no
less destructive manipulations by the
monopolists of our food supplies, who
as inevitably murder by under
nourishment as by bombs and
poison-gas. 1t is no accident that
the science of psychology should be
vulgarized into the sexual theories
of Freudism so that we have young
people attributing the unsatisfactory
ness of their love relationships to the
working of a parent-hatred, when
it is the emptiness of their lives,
anxiety, and the monotony of their
work which makes them unhappy.
It is not an Oedipus complex which
illustrates the working-class boys
and girls but the lack of a wage on
which to set up a home, the lack of
privacy.
But the greater number Of the
young men and women who pass
through the higher schools and uni
versities do have their eyes opened
by the blunt economic question of
getting a living, And when, if they
are lucky, they get a job, they
realize that society does not want
to get the best out of them, does not
want them to realize all their po-
tentialities to enrich the common
stock of the community, but special
ICES them, makes them a cog in the
system, bangles in front of them for
a while the moczing hope of making
good, and then cynically scraps them
as a younger generation with I'M
tapped vitality and lower salary
levels come on the market.
The socialist construction of Bri-
tain would find Us so far from hav-
ing an unempoyabil 5arplus Of in
tellectual workers, that the training
OF new forces from the untapped re-
serves of the working class would
be a matter of the most urgent neces-
sity. At the same time, the new
construction would be going for
ward, with its demands for archi-
to plan the new cities, doctors
and nurses to run the new health
services, chemists and biologists to
restore the maximum capacity to our
and agriculture, athletic train
ers to cope with the universal de-
sire to enjoy games and sports of all
and artists, writers, actors,
musicians, cinema-men, to enrich the
leisure of the victorious
people.-Edgell Rickword, in The
Mind in Chains, PIP. 249-253.

 DEAD IN BOSTON

Boston, May 3. (UP)-Rose John son, said to be over 90 and purported Queen of the Gypsies," collapsed and died early today while being questioned by a police sergeant.

 Manifested In FILA
Considerable Home Building Expected to Result in New

expected. Therefore the bill should be ready for President Roosevelt's signature within @ few days.
 Increase Approved
 The main feature of both the house and senate bill under title II of the national housing act approve an increase from $3,00O, 900, 900 to $4O00, 100000 in the amount of mort gage insurance which can be out- standing at any one time, the i1- crease being subject to presidential action.
 The extension of the 25-year amortization period for new con- struction has been approved indefi- nitely by the house bill and for a two-year period by the senate bill, while the g per cent financing loans will continue without need for fur ther legislation. Two-year author ity to insure mortgages on exist ing construction has also been ex- tended, and both bills contain a pro- vision that the mortgagor or home owner wishing re-financing on better terms under the FILA insured mort gage plan, should give the bank or mortgagee the opportunity to re- finance before going elsewhere for a loan.
 Under title the bill has extended for two years the authority of FILA to insure loans for property im- provement and modernization. Ger tain amendments to this particular phase of the bill includes the ap- proval of an annual premium of one- half of one per cent in the senate bill and one per cent in the house bill. This mortgage insurance premi- um is placed upon the lender.
 Under title II, section 207 or 210. which deal with multi-family and group housing, the senate bill con- tains a provision for prevailing wages to be paid to laborers and mechanics but this does not apply to section 203, which includes one to four-family dwellings for new homes with mortgages not exceeding $16,- 900. The house bill favors repeal of section 210.
 Mortgage Restriction
 The senate bill also contains provision restricting mortgages in sured under section POT not only to 30 per cent of estimated value of a property after the completion of proposed improvements, but also to an amount not exceeding the esti- mated cost of physical improve ments exclusive of public utilities, street, organization expenses, etc. In short, only the cost of building and no part of the land value can be included in the mortgage.
 The passage of this bill by the senate should remove all doubts and hesitancy on the part of builders, leaning institutions and home buy CTS in New England and should be an accelerating influence to the building industry for several years.
