1ound inadequate IN the States
where the State funds are avail
able and the insurance program
already covers a fair share of the
burden. With our low per capita
and Government income (remem-
Der our per capita income is about
Us toA that of your small south
ern cities), it is unfortunately
hopeless to expect that the even
matching formula provided for
the Virgin Islands would permit
us to establish an adequate
program.
90 Schedules A and B submit
ted that we now have an active
caseload of 1913 persons and a
waiting list of $40 persons. Our
first effort must be to cover the
total caseload and relieve the SUI
fering of those who need help but
have been struggling along with
out aid. Our total funds Federal
and Municipal) must therefore
cover assistance to at least 1777
persons. Using all the Municipal
funds available and evtn Commu-
nifty Chest monies, there is no hope
that we can raise more that $500
a month. That represents an all
out effort. After taking care of the
categories not covered by the Act
General Assistance and Foster
Homes). about $4,000 of Island
money would be available for
matching. With the Federal con-
tribution of $4,000 a month, a to-
tai of $4,000 a month would be
available for the caseload of 1777
persons. The overall average
would be incdeased to only $40
a month per person. I know that,
in passing H. R. 5000, you intend
ed to be much more liberal than
that-you provided a maximum
of $4,000 a month! ! know that
you would be as unhappy as we
would be that assistance rates
would average still only 26 cents
a day! ! Twenty-six cents for all
the living needs of a man or wo-
man or child.
a. But if Congress provides in
stead that the matching basis
shall be the same as IN the States,
we could achieve a program that
youand we would be immensely
happy and proud about. Schedule
c attached shows that this pro-
gram would be like. In the Social
Security categories, $40. aged,
, 1949-12-03

blind and totally disabled persons
would receive assistance averag-
ing $1,000 a month, and 875 de-
pendent children would receive as
sistance averaging $1,000 a month.
The Islands Government would,
of course, care for the partially
disabled and for children in fos-
ter homes at comparable rates.
This would not only be a happy
program-it would also be a rea-
listic one. The locay share of $7578
a year could be met from local
funds. The Federal share would
represent about $780, 900 a year
only abouta quarter of a million
dollars! ! The assistance rates
would be realistic representing ap
proximately 500 of the average
low income family budget. Be-
cause of higher food and clothing
costs here, budget needs for lower
income families are a trifle high
er here than the average in Puerto
Rico. There need be no fear what
ever that these assistance rates
would have any adverse effects
upon the economy or upon en-
ployment conditions in the Islands
Minimum wages for common la
Dor in our local Wage and Hour
Act are 40 cents an hour repre-
senting about $1,000 a month.
Minimum wages even for maids
and walters in hotels, ETC., are set
by the Act at 80 cents an hour or
about $500 a month. Even domes
tics in private employment earn
between $1,000 and $4,000 per
month each plus meals. Obvious
ly there would be no incentive for
anyone to prefer assistance at the
rates suggested to work at the
wages now current. And there is
the final control that only per-.
sons unemployable by reason of
age or disability are certified for
~aSciSfanco 7 am .nroI1d RI COW that
our Department has an excellent
record of carefulness and firmness
in this respect. Finally the assis-
lance rates would still be much
below the minimum rate of $500
set for pensions under the retire
ment insurance program.

Director of Social Welfare
70 the Sub Commute Of the House
Ways and Means COMMITTEES. re-
lating TO the application Of Social
Security legislation to the Virgin
Islands,
Concluded from yesterday
The second is:
B. Needing a complete Social
Security program as badly as I
have described above. the United
States citizens who live in the Viz
gin Islands need Federal partici-
patton therein on at least as favor
able a basis as is provided for
their fellow Americans In other
parts Of the nation.
() We are deeply grateful for
inclusion of the Virgin Islands in
H. R. 5000. We are especially hap
Ply that we r included in the
social insurance provisions on the
same basis as the rest of the ma
ton. We believe we can make't the
retirement and disability pro-
grams work successfully here on
this basis. We are convinced that
this is the best long-range method
of providing for the aged and dis
abled, and employers and employ
ees here alike have declared their
intention to support and coope-
rate in these programs if Con-
greSs acts favorably on this mea-
sure, as we sincerely hope it will.
In a decade or two, the retirement
and disability benefits coming to
insured workers would reduce
the burdens of public assistance,
and the struggle to carry the pub
lie assistance program would be-
come easier.
~ Nntil. that time. however, we
need here even more urgently
than on the continent where So
cial insurance has already long
been in effect, the liberal match
ing basis for public assistance and
medical care provided for the rest
of the nation but from which we.
have been excluded in H. R. 5000.
Even as it is, H. R. 5000 would
give us real help, and for that we
are truly appreciative. But it just
does not go far enough to meet
our deplorable situation! This
even matching basis has been
