q __ our pioneer forefath- • were interested in Free-

Idom. not security — right? fid like you to comment on

|(hjS of course I realize that

j' 0Vt all your answers are

Limply factual explanations Vnd official interpretations of

[social Security. But it would 1 "]_,e interesting also to have, [if possible, your own person-

al opinion on this question. A Possibly interesting —

ibllt how much it would be

worth might be questionable! Some degree of personal in-

I terpretation no doubt enters

into my answers. But I try I always to be factual, reason-

fable and responsible. Of course, our pioneer fore-

fathers were deeply concem-

| £d with Freedom — as we

their descendents had better I be. On the whole they made

freedom their business

and it’s up to us to keep that business going, and growing. Surely we can do that only

j as we are mutually under- standing and caring; not ir-

| responsible, lawless and de- structive; and not narrowly selfish, callous, contemptuous, unfair to unjust — and there- fore irresponsible and “de- structive by degrees” of hu-

! man personality, and of liber- I ty and democracy. Freedom historically has not only been hard-won but hard-kept. Lib- erty, enlightenment, and re-

sponsibility are necessary for the life of democracy.

Evidently the great major- ity of Americans today be- lieve that a basic measure of Security is also important, along with our freedoms and liberties — and in fact makes them more meaningful.

But the need and desire for security are surely not new in American history. Natu- rally, in certain ways our forefathers were more inde- pendent — and less inter-de- pendent — than we. Mostly living on relatively isolated family farms, they produced nearly all of their own food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities of life. “By the sweat of their brows” they and their families literally made d liVlfig .\?f and "achiev- ed security as best they could.

We in our largely indus- trialized and urbanized, spe- cialized and interdependent ‘money economy” don't real- ly make a living — we buy it. In our jobs, businesses, and professions we work and earn money with which to buy our living.

The problem of money, the well known medium of ex-

change, is not new. We are told that the love of money is the root of all evil — re-

sponsible for so very much cruelty, suffering, strife and upheaval. But in these days, with the high-and-higher costs of living in this world, the lack of money is bad, too.

For the most part we and our families have security so

long as the earned money keeps coming. But when old age, disability, or death of the family breadwinner stops the money, the ordinary 20th century American family faces a real emergency and dilem- ma.

At such a time, especially, there is a serious need for economic security. And it is primarily to help meet this need and this dilemma of our modern money economy that Social Security exists.
