MIR. HALL OPENS: The question
is not whether want can be abolished.
In a 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 a 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 a tiny island,
so small that nowhere can a man
stand on it more than rs miles from
the sea, that such a 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. If 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? Yes! To a hungry man the
question is decidedly the abolition OF
want his t1ant and the way to
abolish his want is for the commu-
nifty to pool its to provide
a minimum of life for everybody
The Beverage Plan points the way
The hungry mans hunger is the same
whether he is rs miles from the sea
or $500 miles.
MIR. HALL REPLIES: No civilized
community allows a hungry mar tc
die of starvation, but responsibility
for those who face periodic un-
employment from causes beyono
their control" has nothing on earth
to do with the question Gould the
Beveridge 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 ap-
piled here because it's drawn up to
deal with entirely different condi-
tions. It would be bound to fail quite
aside from its prohibitive costs.

ing. II gives the people an opportu-
nity TO share in raising their W

II can be applied to the United
States even more effectively than to
Great Britain in proportion as our
ner capita wealth is greater than
theirs.
MR. HALL CHALLENGES: The
Beveridge Plan would be revolution
ary il applied to the United States.
In Sir Williams W words the I'M
portant thing is that the plan is part
of a policy Of a national minimum, OF
giving benefits as a right which are
adequate in amount (enough for SUBJ
sistence without other resources) and
adequate in time Qast 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: It t1ould
be unAmerican to allow any person.
adult or child, to 60 hungry or home
less if we can devise a way to pre-
vent it. The American minimum of
rights consists of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" A mar
cannot enjoy life without enough to
keep him alive, or liberty without
decencies of experience.
He cannot pursue happiness if he is
starving. The Beverage Plan is a
program for mobilizing the energy
and wealth of the community to safe
guard the well-being Of all. 1t is not
revolutionary. 1t is the explicit APT
plication Of the principle implicit in
the Declaration of independence!

HELENA-Governor Sam c. Forc
announced he has been advised the
war relocation authority will open
three branch offices in Montana to
aid suger beet growers and other
farm employers who wish to obtain
evacuee labor.

Havre, Billings and Helena. The
Havre office will serve northern

Montana and the Billings office the
eastern part of the state.
Governor Ford said he had in

pervisor for this distrist, the Mon
tana state administration lis anxious
to cooperate in every way possible
to obtain the maximum number of
loyal Japanese farm laborers for
placement in Montana to help re-
lieve the acute labor shortage" The
relocation authority has been asked
to facilitate the release and place
ment of loyal japanese and other
evacuees into productive use outside
the relocation centers, he said.
Certain minimum requirements
have been established to safeguard
the procedure for obtaining vacu-
ees, the governor said. They are:
1. There must be no evidence of
~disloyalty on the part of the evac-
uee.
2. A definite offer of employment
must be submitted to the evacuee
and accepted by him.
3. The authority must be reason
ably sure that the community at
titude is such that the release of
the evacuee to the community will
not endanger the individual, cause
public disturbance or jeopardize the
relocation program in any way.
Evacuees will be released to all

The lesson-sermon also included
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Science

ness, sin and death, being inhar-
monious, do not originate in Coo

them. Jesus furnished proofs on
these statements"
