SAFE IN THE ARMS OF THE STATE
SOCIAL SECURITY IN NEW ZEALAND. By A. M. Finlay. Whitcombe & Tombs. T is a little odd to find a serious study like this sandwiched between "A Guide to Ballroom Dancing" and "An Easy Way to Study Astrology" in _Whitcombe’s "Simple Guide Series." But in book-production, as in so many other ways, war makes strange bed-fellows. The astrologer lies down with the rockgardener; the bridge-player with the political philosopher. Here. in any case is Dr. Finlay explaining not merely what Social Security offers us, but why it offers us anything at all. For he is a good deal more than a guide. He is a historian and an advocate to begin with, a prophet before he says good-bye to us. If you want to know how much you are worth at 60, or how old you will be when your "universal superannuation" is sufficient for your needs, he will tell you. But he will tell you at the same time what the background of Social Security is, how what you now have in New Zealand compares with what they may one day get in Britain under the Beveridge plan, and why Social Security, like peace is "indivisible." And for this you will pay only half-a-crown-philosophy, tables, index and all.
