each state should be free to enact its own unemployment insurance law. But no state should be at liberty to neglect this problem, or to put a more progressive commonwealth at a competitive disadvantage. For this reason, the bill proposes a 3 per cent Federal tax upon pay rolls, to be remitted to employers in so far as they contribute to unemployment insurance funds under state law. As an added incentive, a Federal subsidy, aggregating $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, and $50,000,000 for each succeeding year, is provided for allocation among the states to aid them in administering such unemployment insurance laws as they may enact. Explains Proposed Systems Old age, unlike unemployment, is a natural phenomenon that descends upon mankind everywhere with unfailing regularity. Therefore the bill treats this problem primarily on a national basis. It sets up a Federal system of compulsory old age insurance, to which both employer aod employee contribute, and which will provide at least the minimum requirements for health and decency to every worker who has reached 65 years of age. At the same time, the measure is careful to make special provisions for workers who are now so near the retirement age that they will have no chance to insure themselves by their own contributions. In addition, a Federal subsidy of $50,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1936, and $125,000,000 for each succeeding year, is provided to help the states care for the aged who can not be brought under the compulsory national plan. Finally, provisions are made for the establishment of a voluntary system of old age annuities, administered by the national Government These proposals are built upon the Gibraltar of business common sense. Unemployment insurance is cheaper than relief because preparedness is superior to planlessness. Attention Should Aid Remedy The focus of attention upon the scientific treatment of unemployment'should diminish that evil just as life insurance has lengthened the span of the average life. And in an age where the displacement of men by machines has become an ever present technological threat, it is certainly desirable to substitute instead the displacement of the elderly worker who is entitled to a rest by the younger and stronger and who is entitled to a job. There is a not a single dictate of business judgment that has been neglected in framing this legislation. In order not to burden industry during its battle for complete recovery, the unemployment insurance tax of 3 per cent will not become fully operative during the next two years unless the index of productive activity reaches 91 per cent of the 1923-1925 level. The old-age pension tax begins with 1 per cent of pay rolls in 1937 and scales up gradually to 5 per cent in 1957. The Federal appropriations under the bill are similarly graded. Important Human Problem However, the quest for economic security does not rest upon the promptings of economic judgment alone. It is a transcendency important human problem. There is no reason why the worker unemployed through no fault of his own should be more neglected than machinery that is idle during the slack season. There is uo justification for giving ! the man who has grown old and i tired in the performance of his life i work less consideration than a re- ! tired race horse. The day has ! passed when the wealthiest nation ! in the world can remain the most delinquent in its treatment of the most pressing nf all social questions. The proposed legislation is not ; confined to old-age pensions and | unemployment insurance. Federal subsidies of over $40,000,000 a year are provided to help the states in caring for dependent children, in promoting maternal and child welfare, in aiding the crippled, and in advancing public health. While most of this money is to be allocated among the states on a dol-lar-for-dollar matching basis, there is enough flexibility to safeguard ; the poorer localities which are uni able to help themselves. Preparing for Future If one contrasts the economic security bill with the public apathy toward the unfortunate that pre--1 dominated a few years ago, he finds j it hard to realize that he is still living in the same world.

are taking decisive steps to shake off its lingering aftermath, to prevent its recurrence, and to set up safeguards for those who may suffer in the future from economic forces beyond the control of the individual.

VAN NUYS URGES JOB INSURANCE CHANGE Workers’ Premium Payments to Be Asked. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. Frederick Van Nuys today expressed dissatisfaction with the Administration’s unemployment insurance measure and announced that he will seek to amend the bill to provide for premium payments by employes as well as employers. The bill, introduced with the President’s message yesterday, provides for payment by employers only. “This is contrary to the experience of practically all countries which have adopted legislation on this subject,” Senator Van Nuys said. He has been studying the foreign systems for many months and was invited to a recent Whit§ House conference as an expert. zenith of perfection in sociaj legislation. But considering that we are venturing into a region that heretofore has been practically unexplored by the national Government in this country, the bill does embody a step forward that is almost unparalleled in its boldness and scope, We are breaking the ground for a structure in which economic wisdom and humanitarian impulses shall be blended in perfect proportion to protect millions of our citizens from undernourishment during their formative years, from privation in their prime of life, and from destitution in their old age.

10 NEW ARMY FLYING FIELDS AREPROPOSED $190,000,000 Coast Defense Project Pushed by Florida Legislator. By Scripps-Hmcard Sewspaper .4 llianrs WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.—Ten military aviation posts, each capable of accommodating 1000 planes and each costing not to exceed $19,000,000, are proposed in a bill introduced by Rep. J. Mark Wilcox iD., Fla.). The bill embodies an air defense program proposed by Rep. Wilcox last summer before the Federal Aviation Commission. It is said to receive favorable consideration in the commission's forthcoming report. and some members of the Army general staff are reported to approve it. As described by its author, the bill would establish three air bases on the Pacific Coast, one in the Great Lakes region, one in the Gulf of Mexico area, two new ones on the Atlantic Coast, one in New England, one in Florida, one in the Rocky Mountain region for reserve and supply purposes, and one each in Alaska and Panama. These would be in addition to Langley, Bolling and Mitchell fields along the Middle Atlantic coast. Nor are they intended to supersede existing bases at Dayton, 0., Montgomery, Ala., Shreveport, La., San Antonio, Tex., or elsewhere. It is proposed that each station be equipped to maintain one bombardment group and one coast defense group permanently planes. But landing, fuel and service facilities would be available to handle 1000 planes in case of war. The program would require from 2500 to 3000 planes. The total estimated cost of $190,000,000 represents the maximum, according to Mr. Wilcox. The bill is backed by the National Air Frontier Defense Association, representing communities interested in obtaining such posts. The association meets in Washington Feb. 1.
