tory at the present high level.
The program calls for bringing
into existence a world security
organization that will make it diff
cult, If not impossible, for any ma
ton to use aggressive warfare as
an instrument of national policy
This asks for greater patience anc
forbearance perhaps than any strong
and victorious people ever have
shown, yet the mood is such in
this country that we can hope to
see the desired security system SCI
up even earlier than the end of the
war. The temper of the times is
wholly different from that of 1915
and 1920. Isolated selfishness has
been repudiated at the polls clearly
and emphatically.
The Domestic Program.
The program of the successful po-
litical party calls for an improved
standard of living in America. The
President In his message to Congress
last January set this forth in what
he called an economic bill of rights
There is every reason to believe
his desire to see these rights made
real during his term of Office is as
great as his desire to help build a
world security organization. This
bill of rights follows:
The right to a useful and re-
munerative job In the industries
or shops or farms or mines of the
Nation;s
The right to earn enough to pro-
vide adequate food and clothing and
recreation:
The right of every farmer to
raise and sell his products at re-
turn which will give him and his
family decent living;
The right of every businessman,
large and small, to trade in an
atmosphere of freedom from unfair
competition and domination by
monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a
decent home;
The right TO adequate medical
care and the opportunity to achieve
and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection
from the economic fears of old age,
sickness, accident and unemploy-
ment;
THE right to good education"
mot Achieved Easily"
Not one of those rights will be
achieved easily, since each cuts
across some special privilege.
Take for example the right of
every family to a decent home.
There is your national housing prob
lem with all its ramifications. 1t is a
right that will not be established if
first consideration is given to the
demands of the large and active
lobby now on the ground in WASH
ington working in behalf of real
estate and money lending institu-
tions. 1t will not be established if
first consideration is given to the
demands of those building trades
unions which seek to protect all the
outmoded construction practices of
the past.
Or take the right to adequate
medical care and the opportunity to
achieve and enjoy good health. That
will not be established until general
good health is accepted as a COM
munity responsibility and the pro-
fessional men who could do most
toward making good health matter
of course, cease to frighten them
selves with the hobgoblin of Social
lied medicine"
And so with other rights. Only one
of those listed by the President ap-
pears to face little organized opposi-
tion. That's the most ambitious
sounding one of all; the right to ade-
quate protection from the economic
fears Of old age, sickness, accident
and unemployment, Gov. Dewey de-

Senator Walter F.. George, Demo
crat, Georgia, promised Saturday
that his senate finance committee
would have ready for senate action
by the end of February legislation
extending social security benefits to
every member of the armed forces.
George pictured the social security
benefits as a long term supplement
to the immediate cash, mastering
out payment the senate already has
authorized.
He contemplated that before the
end of 1914 the congress also will
enact adjusted service compensa-
ton legislation.
Those three measures, added to
the program Of federal aid Ii ply
