handle is hein.cow/anamacp0202 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD
WE are approaching the fourth anniversary of the Social Security Act and
discussion is actively under way regarding possible changes in the extension and
coverage of the Act. The present volume has been designed to give the reader
the necessary background for evaluating the various changes proposed as well as
to make him familiar with the work already accomplished.
Developments have been so rapid that since some of the articles in this volume
were written, President Roosevelt has transmitted to the Congress the Final Re-
port of the Advisory Council on Social Security. In an Appendix the reader will
find a summary of the recommendations made in this report of the Advisory
Council.
Limitations of space have made it impossible to include a full presentation of
certain governmental programs now being carried out which have a direct bearing
on the social security of large segments of the population. These include The
Works Progress Administration, Public Works Administration, and the relief ac-
tivities of state and local governments. Measures relating to labor standards,
conservation of natural resources, farm security, housing, and other matters have
also been omitted of necessity, although they play an important part in a rounded
program of social security in the United States.
