Pro and Con
Welfare State, Topic for Science Forum;
United States Faces Important Decision
In Uie recent fund Ihe term welfare
slnlc has ts-en handled iihout ioiirualiH-llcnll}
li> reference lo President Tru-man's
promised "Kalr Heal" and to
British itiinnmy. It Is a slgulliciint
term heenuse It represents a funda-mental
political Issue In the western
world loda.v.
The I'nwideiit has bean Hiviised of
leading us towards the welfare state.
The present day problems of Ilrltlsh
ii-onoiny luivi' IsM-n Isid at the door of
the welfare state. Olivlon-ly for some
It is III.I a desirable end. For others
It Is the Inevltsble end of social prog-ress.
The welfare state Is is-rtlnent
enough to our own future to ls-ar ex-ainiiuilioii.
Basir Question Pesed
(ienerally s|a-nklng It is u suite in
which the government assumes res|s,n-slblllty
for the securlly of Its citizens.
As our society becomes inore complex
the handling of Its problems must ba-re-
evaluated. Can the Individual provide
for bis security adequately through his
own efforts and those of private agen-cies,
or Is it accessary tor the state to
iisMiiae the role of one overall public
welfare agency?
Tims,- who assert thai tlie former is
true see In the wclfurc state u danger-ous
similarity to totnlltiirlnnlsm. IK-livering
such authority Into the hands
of government is a threat to individual
rights.' (irent Ilrllain is considered the
chief i-\ .iiii.lc of the welfare state In
the world today.
Since her economic eX|a-rlment Is--
gun In 1II0I) with I.In.nl Oeorge's social
security IMHIK.-I, Ilrltalu has c-oniinua-d
to makr- advano-s In providing for the
public weirare, until today the lan-'li-b
man Is offered In return for his taxes
a wide variety of lienettts: free educa-tion,
free milk for school, u fixed week-ly
|M\ ini-iii in time of sickness and un-employment,
iienslons In old oge and
fr<-e mcdiail attention. In addition tlie
government financial policy keeps basle
foodstuffs artificially chi-ap, and suh-sldixes
low rents.
Objections to Welfare State
Today Great Britain is faced with
major financial problems. Critics of
the welfare state believe that It U re-sponsible
in part for this situation.
They fart tluil Ihe nation will never
|aiy its way while staggering under the
heavy burden of taxation such a sys-tem
Implies. They |H.IHI to Britain's
program of free medical attention as
an arch example of inelllcleiicy. They
also feel that In the long run It Is
detrimental to-die dignity of the In-dividual
cltlxcn. Their Ibisiry n-sts on
the siipiHisltlon thai the removal of
want removes tin- Incentive to Is-tter-ment.
Arguments In Favor
Tliose who la-lleve in the Welfare
State feel Ilia! segments of ws-lely arc
no longer capable of coping with gen-eral
problems. According to democratic
traditions men are entitled to certain
rights. The Declaration of Indepen-dence
mentions "the iHirsuit of haisd-ness."
Prom this it would aaasj Unit
in guaranteeing those rights, the stale
has some responsibility for permitting
the Individual to seek the fullest ex-pression
of himself. There are certain
needs fundamental to human existence.
With the growing oomplexitlee of so-ciety
these needs have widened la scope.
