General Welfare:
Social Security
A primary consideration of modern governments is social se
curity, which is a very comprehensive term. To understand how
comprehensive, you have but to read the preamble to the Wagner-
Murray-Dingell bill, quoted in our issue of November 20, prelimi
nary to this editorial. After all, what are governments for? The
preamble to our Federal Constitution well states their purpose.
Familiar as those words are, or ought to be, I will set them before
you here:
Wt the people of the United
Stales, in order to form a more
perfect union, to establish justice,
to insure domestic trnnquilit\, to
provide for the common defense, to
promote the general welfare, and to
secure the blessings of liberty for
ourslvex and our posterity do or
dain and establish this Constitution,
The "general welfare;" there is
the kernel of the whole matter;
that is the end and aim of all gov
ernments. The general welfare
calls for schools, for roads, for pub
lic buildings, for many kinds of
scientific research, for soil conser
vation, for flood control, for irri
gation facilities, for many kinds of
service, for the conservation of all
natural resources—and for all that
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill in
cludes under the term ‘‘social se
curity.” All this, in ever increas
ing amount, for the ‘‘general wel
fare."
Modern industry has vastly in
cfeased the need of social security.
The hazards in mines, shops and
factories—not to speak of those on
streets and highways—are so enor
mous that the casualty figures
sofltul like reports from the most
destructive of wars.
Citizens, healthy and strong to
produce, the the chief wealth of a
country. All other wealth is use
less without this wealth. All oth
er wealth is for this wealth. A
healthy and vigorous people should
be the primary concern of states
men and of governments. Such

conditions should therefore be cre
ated. such institutions should be
established, such laws should be
enacted, as will provide the best
protection for the health of all the
people.
The best medical care should be
universal—for the poor not less
than for the rich. Adequate hos
pitalization should be available for
every family. The time will come.
I venture to assert, when this will
be made so without money and
without price. We are manifestly
in a transition period. Intelli
gence and humanitarianism and
statesmanship are on the increase.
The health provisions of the
Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill have
been summarized as follows:
"In addition to its provisions for
much needed improvement of the
entire system of employment secur
ity and old age benefits, it provides
health and disability benefits to
practically all workers not other
wise covered and to members of
their families in industrial, com
mfercial. agricultural, domestic and
non-profit Institutional employ
ment.
"This bill provides the services
of a physician chosen by the work
er. Care is to be available for as
long as needed, at tfie home, office
or hospital, including preventive,
diagnostic and therapeutic treat
ment and care, as well as periodic
physical examinations.

"In brief it Is a carefully consid
