London (JPS)-The demand that

Professor Of Economics, y. Y. University
The rising tide of political
promises of security and happi-

been expected in 1914. Neverthe-
less, it may be well to consider a
few general truths that have a
bearing on these matters.
No government can eliminate
all risks from the lives OF indl-
viduals. Accidents and sickness
Will occur. Occasional unemploy-
ment must arise. Old age creeps
on us inevitably.

eminent may guarantee TO its

wellbeing food. clothing, shelter.
Unless the people, however, desire
10 have their incomes leveled

will be injured, and be made un-
happy by the equal treatment OF

HEALTHY ECONOMY

There can be no quarrel with
the impetus 70 undertake post
ponable governmental construc-
ton at a time when private
industry is down rather than at
a time when there is a shortage
Of manpower and materials.

tional economy. In the last

ity for private activity, instead
of adding TO the sum total of
useful work performed.
