Furthermore, the Senator in

"a 10-year decline in costs and case

"They show that the proportion
of the population dependent upon
some form of public aid has de-
clined from III 12 per cent in 1910
to less than 4 per cent at present, -
Mr.. Ewing said.
Further reduction in public aid
can be expected as more old
people qualify for old-age and
survivors insurance.
I'm fact. the effects of more
liberal insurance provisions are
ALREADY being felt in highly in

In such areas, more old people
are now living on their insurance
than are dependent on old-age
assistance.
For the country as a whole
the number of aged insurance
beneficiaries exceeds by nearly

with goods beyond the concept Of
