Abstract

The Shape of Things
October 7, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents news related to world politics. The building-up of Japanese air power in the Philippines for the purpose of waging, an all-out battle on that new outpost of Japan's "basic sea area" has simply resulted in the annihilation of all the strength so carefully husbanded. Although Great Britain's new social-security plan is slightly inferior to the Beveridge proposals, it represents a marked improvement on the present system and is vastly better than our own limited program. Like the Beveridge plan, the new British proposals attempt to provide protection against all types of insecurity, whether resulting from unemployment, old age, sickness, motherhood, large families, or death of the family breadwinner.
