DIR. KINGDOM OPENS: Want can
be abolished! Our chronological So
ciety can create enough wealth to
supply the necessities of life for all
our people. The problem is how to
distribute wealth to get this result.
The Beveridge Plan is a program for
social security based on children's al
lowances, health and rehabilitation
services, and maintenance of employ
ment.
The question arises: can we have
such planning and preserve individual
freedom? The Beverage Plan overly
faces this issue, and neUeT subordi-
mates freedom to security. 1t MAIN
tains the contributory principle, not
only as sound finance, but as guar
antee of individual self-respect. It
emphasizes the value of voluntary
agencies, for while it provides min
imum for everybody, it leaves indi-
viduals free to provide for themselves
beyond this minimum. It sets no
limit to initiativei
It is not revolutionary. It takes the
principle of social security, which
has been applied unevenly, and ap-
plies it consistently throughout the
social order. 1t plugs present gaps
It does not make the government give
the people a, higher standard Of liv-
ing. It gives the people an opportu-
nifty to share in raising their own
standards.
1t can be applied to the United
States even more effectively than to
Great Britain in proportion as our
per capita wealth is greater than
theirs.
MIR. HALL CHALLENGES: The
Beveridge Plan would be revolution
airy If applied to the United States.
In Sir Williams own words "the i'm
portant thing is that the plan is part
of policy of national minimum. of
giving benefits as right which are
adequate in amount (enough for sub
sistenee without other resources) and
adequate in time Cast as long as the
need lasts) and do not vary with pre-
vious earnings of the person insured.
In other words irrespective of what
he does for society, society must give
every man a minimum to live on.
Could anything be more unAmeri-
can?
DIR. KINGDOM REPLIES: 1t uould
be unAmerican to allow any person,
adult or child. to go hungry or home
less if we can devise way to pre-
vent it The American minimum of
rights consists Of life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" A man
cannot enjoy life without enough to
keep him alive, or liberty without
minimum decencies of experience.
He cannot pursue happiness If he is
starving. The Beverage Plan is a
program for modelling the energy
and wealth of the community to safe
guard the well-being of all. It Is not
revolutionary. 1t is the explicit APP
plication of the principle implicit in
the Declaration of independence

MR.. HALL OPENS: The question
is not whether want can be abolished.
In country as blessed by nature as
the United States, if everybody con-
tributed his maximum in goods and
services to the community, without
interference from the Government,
there would probably be less want
than anywhere on earth. The ques-
ton is whether the Beverage Plan
can be applied to the United States.
The idea that plan. scientifically
worked out in great detail to give
social security and provide free med
ical care from the cradle to the grave
and irrespective Of the recipients
ability to pay, for a highly Industrial
lied community of 100000 people
dependent On imports for nearly all
their food and living on tiny island.
so small that nowhere can a man
stand on it more than rs miles from
the sea, that such plan could be
adopted to the United States where
economic conditions and the way of
life are almost Numerically opposed.
simply does not seem to make sense.
The per capita wealth of the two
countries does not enter into the
question. II it could be applied to the
United States, where earnings are
higher and distances greater, the
Beveridge Plan would cost upwards
of one billion dollars a month!
DIR. KINGDOM CHALLENGES:
Mr.. Hall rightly says: IF everybody
contributed his maximum" The point
is that many people are prevented
from doing so through no fault of
their own. They face periodic unem-
ployrhent from causes beyond their
control Has society a responsibility
for them? Yesi To hungry man the
question is decidedly the abolition of
want - his i1dnt - and the way to
abolish his want is for the commu-
nifty to pool its resources to provide
minimum of life for everybody.
4 nC DCbCt4dSG I AdA PoAAtS %A4C way
The hungry mans hunger is the same
whether he is rs miles from the sea
or 1.500 miles
MIR. HALL REPLIES: No civilized
community allows hungry man to
die of starvation, but responsibility
for those who face periodic un-
enplovment from causes beyond
their control" has nothing on earth
to do with the question "could the
Beverage Plan Be Applied to the
United States?" Apart from the fact
that there is no need for it in Amer
lea. that it would be repugnant to
American traditions and the Ameri-
can way Of life, it could NOT be APP
piled here because it's drawn up TO
deal with entirely different condi.
tons It would be bound to fail quite
aside from its prohibitiye costs.
