Congressional
Crist Mil :.
BY REP. GEORGE sMATHERs

With the high cost of living,
millions of gainfully. employed
workers are today spending every
cent they make and saving little
or nothing for their declining
years. An old age. of poverty is
in prospect for many of those
people unless some constructive
steps are taken to provide ex-
tended coverage of old age and
Survivors insurance.
Presently drives are being
made in various industries for the
establishment of private pension
programs as a joint effort of la
Dor and management. Unfortu-
nately, such privately financed
plans are based on the employ
er's ability to pay, which means
that they are partial, uncertain,
and usually available only to the
employees of large corporations.
AS result, some workers receive
genrous benefits, while leaving
others, equally deserving, entire
ly unprotected against the haz-
ards of old age.
With the great majority of
workers the only system which
can be counted on as permanent,
comprehensive and adequate is
federally financed Social Securi-
ty program. The passage of the
Social Security Act in 1885 mark
ed the beginning of such a plan.
Unfortunately the protection now
afforded is grossly inadequate
and leaves millions of our citizens
excluded fro mits protection. 1t is
shocking to realize that today in
this country there are almost
twice as many people on relief
rolls as are receiving federal in
surance benefits. More than TO-
100000 people are now working
in jobs excluded from social Sc
curity. This means that a large
segment of our population is
moving toward the sunset of life
with no provision being made for
the economic problems those
people will have to face.
The answer seems to be in ex-
banding the coverage and in
creasing the benefits of Social
Security. President Truman rec
commended such course of action
in May of last year and aaain in
his State of the Union message
to Congress two weeks ago. Now,
when employment and earnings
are at the highest levels on rec
ord, it is the most favorableStime
for our working people 20 earn
protection against the various
economic perils which will face
them and their families as a re-
suit of old age. s.s..,slka
1T is my earnest desire and hone
that the 81st Congress will take
seem immediate strides toward
the establishment of compre-
hensive an dadequate system of
old age benefits.

AWAKENS MEMORlEsa~T o.:

Cities, unlike individuals, are likely
to forget they have reached their hum
dredth anniversary. Sol it was with Tampa,
which had to be reminded that it had been
Incorporated in 1849, 100 years ago.
Up to the time preceding the trek
king of cigar factories from Key West to
Tampa, that "city" was composed of few
houses huddled in the vicinity of Franklin
street, crossing which one sank to his
ankles in sand . i
Tampa began to perk up when Martin
Ybor in 1887 was offered a large tract of
land if he would move from Key West to
Tampa. He accepted the offer and founded
that section of Tampa that is still called
Ybor City. 49,.
When Ybor left Key West, it was the
largest city in Florida and maintained that
lead till the year 1890. Jacksonville then
stepped out front.
The big fire in Key West in 1886 and
a series of strikes among local cigarmakers
accelerated the movement of factories
from Key West to Tampa. Leaders in that
city, particularly Peter o. Knight, en-
visioned the economic benefits that would
ensue by making Tampa's cigar industry
the largest in the country for the manufac-
ture of clear Havana cigars. So the leaders
offered owners of factories in Key West
not only the sites for the factories but the
construction of the factories also without
cost to the owners. n, ..t
The E.. H. Cato Cigar Company,
established in Key West in 1876, was made
flattering offers to remove to Tampa, but
all of them were rejected. Other large
manufacturing companies, with few ex-
ceptions, accepted the offers during the
1905, so that by the end of the century,
Key Vests cigar industry was merely a
shadow of what it had been.
AS the factories left, so did cigar
makers, numbering several thousands
Tampa's blow to Key West had a double
effect-reduced the number of factories
here and cut down the city's population by
one-quarter.
Today Key West, which had 1O4
large and fairly large factories when cigar
manufacturing here was at it's peak, is to-
day without single large factory. The
factories now operating here are what
cigarmakers call buckeyes, some of which
produce clear Havana cigars. -.

SAYS COLLEGES LACK INTEGRITY

Speaking recently before a conference
of the Association of American Colleges,
Isr. Kenneth |. Brown, head of the or
ganization. asserted that American COL
leTes and universities lack integrity. He
saw they are more interested in getting
additional buildings than good faculty
members and are guilty of neglecting the
intellectual and spiritual sides of campus
,Um..
DF. Brown charged that colleges COM
o. petefor students in unethical ways, fac
1ihy members break solemn contracts at
will and college presidents seek the COM
,pany a rich widows 10 get funds to con-
struet buildings and dormitories. He sug-
gests that the ethics of the counting house
aadthe code If competition have replac-
ca higher standards once common in edu-
cation.
n Is a rather serious charge which DR..
Brown brings against the institution of
higher learning He says that lack of
.Resdemic integrity" has brought college
ostalogs into disrepute. He says that the
eaiaiogs stress the development of the in
di}fdual student and picture a curriculum
fctply concerned with the development
ui the student. by contrast. he says:
Hut when one listens i'm on trustee

industries, and industries making

Of the oil refineries is also being
increased.
Merchant Marine Growing
The capacity of the Swedish
shipyards has been increased con-
siderably during the last few
years. Annual deliveries now to-
tai about 250,O00 gross tons, COM
pared with $4,000 tons before
the war. Sweden thus is in po-
sition to increase deliveries to 9TH
er countries and at the same time
proceed with the expansion of its
own merchant fleet.
Despite the serious losses dur
ing the war. the Swedish mercan-
tile marine at the end of 1917 had
grown to g million tons, or near
~ 20 per cent more than in 1899.
During the next four years. about
100000 tons will be added to the
fleet annually, and the net in
crease during the four-year Pc
Rod is estimated at 100000 tons.
Net earnings of h e Swedish
merchant fleet are estimated to in
crease by about 80 million dollars
over four or five years This would
mean that the present trade ball
ance deficit on the freight account
would be changed into a surplus.

AS a result of increased use of

SO are expected to be about S.5
per cent higher than the present
normal yield. In four or five years
from now, Sweden, according to
present plans, will be self-support-
ing in bread grains, about 100000
tens of butter will be produced
annually, or nearly two-thirds of
the total consumption Of edible
fats; the cultivation of oleiferous
plants will supply raw materials
! for 100000 tons of margarin and
! 10000 tons of seed cakes; the do
nestle sugar production will rise
to 10000 tons, as compared with
total consumption of 375, 900
tons; meat production can be es-
timated at 1875, 900 tons. as COM
pared with a consumption of $780,
900 tons, while corresponding fig
ures for pork will be 100000 and
175, 900 tons. If these figures are
to be reached, considera BILE in
crease in the import of fertilizers
will be necessary. The farmers
also need about 10000 new trac-
tiers annually. Swedens own pro-
duction will soon amount to 1000
and a further increase seems pos
sible
