SOCIAL SECURITY
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS Sir, —A while ago it was said that though the tax for “social security” was to be imposed on April 1, the “benefits from it were to be indefinitely postponed. Where is the law, common, just, fair law that says that such a thing can be done by a few people known at present as the Government? Does it not savour rather of extortion to fill up the empty coffers of that Government? It is like going into a shop and buying a loaf, and doing without it until the shopkeeper chooses to send it. I am not lying back for “social security”; no decent independent person is, but one wants to know the right, or wrong, of this matter. —Yours, etc., H.M. March 15, 1939.
