COMMUNISM'S REAL AIMS. COMMUNIST workers in this country do not wear the bristling beards of the cartooned Russian. They do not bellow in Cossack fashion but speak In oily tones, describing the wonders of society under the aegis of a proletarian dictatorship. Their beguiling tones have deceived a few Americans, whose normal reasoning power was weakened by depression worries.

The link of the Communists with the world revolutionary movement, however, was revealed in one of the broadcasts of Earl Browder. the party's candidate for President.

INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES. rpHE editorial In The Star of yesterday headed "Unemployment Insurance" Facts seems to have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

The Social Security program includes unemployment and old age benefits, and the two are confused in the minds of many. The editorial used the term "unemployment insurance" with quotation marks to indicate that it is a misnomer, as it is used by many, but that does not seem to have been grasped by all. The point The Star was making is that many have en idea the money to be deducted from pay rolls will be handed to them as a pension when they reach the age of 65. The old age provision of the law, of course, is one feature and is handled from Washington while the unemployment insurance is provision made for those who are laid off or are out of work and is administered by the state. The difference between the two is explained by C.

A Northwestern coed won a May Queen title and Phi Beta Kappa honors, proving that all rules fail in dry weather. Division of the state as follows: Your editorial of Thursday headed "Unemployment Insurance" Facts does not deal with unemployment insurance at all, but with old age annuities, which are entirely under Federal supervision, providing for payment of monthly annuities to workers when they reach the age of 65. Your editorial leaves the impression that only persons who live to be 65 years old will receive any benefit and that those who die before 65, or who choose to continue to work after 65 will lose all money they have paid in under the old age annuities plan.

As a matter of fact, the family of an employe who dies will receive at time of death more money than this employe has paid. This is true, regardless of whether the employe dies before he is 65 or afterward, unless the employe has received monthly annuity benefits. In this case, the family will receive the difference, if any, between the annuities received and the amount of the employe's equity (3i per cent of the total earnings on which he has made payments to the government). Annuity payments to the employe or lump sum payments to his estate are made regardless of whether the employe is rich or poor, and depending entirely on the amount he has been earning. The old age annuities plan is entirely under Federal supervision.

Unemployment insurance is the feature of the social security act which is administered for the state of Indiana by a nonpartisan board of five persons representing labor, large and small employers, and the public. Unemployment insurance provides for payment of benefits to eligible employes in event of unemployment. Benefits are determined by the amount of the employe's regular earnings. These unemployment benefits are in no sense charity, since they are paid from a trust fund which the employe and his employer have built up. The Indiana unemployment compensation law was drafted with expert advice and after consultation with both labor' and employer interests.

It is recognized as one of the best unemployment laws in the country. For unemployment insurance, employes by law will never pay more than 1 per cent of their earnings, The rate for 1937 is nine-tenths of 1 per cent. Employer's rates will be 1.8 per cent in 1937 and 2.7 pv'r cent in 1938 and 1939. After 1939. contributions of both employer and employes to the unemployment fund can be reduced and even eliminated if employment in that particular company is sufficiently stable.

Stability is measured by the amount which a company has in its reserve account in the trust fund as compared with the company's total pay roll. Contributions to the Indiana unemployment fund can in no sense be called a tax. The word "tax" does not appear anywhere in the Indiana law. Every cent of contributions is deposited in a trust fund and can be used only for payment of benefits to unemployed workers.
