SPEECH DELIVERED BY BRYCE M. STEWART, DIRECTOR OF
RESEARCH, INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COUNSELORS, INC. NEW YORK,
ON JULY 16, 1938, BEFORE THE ROUND TABLE ON ADMINISTRATION
OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM, INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC
AFFAIRS, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, CHARLOTTESVILLE
CONSTRUCTIVE PROPOSALS FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE REVISION OF UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
We are concerned in this discussion with the American system
of unemployment compensation under which twenty-five jurisdictions
were paying benefits at the end of June. The acid test of any in-
surance institution is its ability to pay the promised benefits
promptly and accurately. Judged by this standard, the six months
experience indicates that there is something wrong with "unemployment
comp, n as it is familiarly called by its administrators. The Social
Security Board has recently announced an investigation of the ad-
ministration of unemployment compensation, and no doubt several
changes will be effected.
The system has certain merits which might be indicated, but
the title of this paper implies consideration of its defects. While
it is difficult to obtain a proper perspective on the American system
because of the complicated nature of the legislation and administration
and the brief experience, the following criticisms may be offered as
indicating the general point of view taken here.
1. Lack of unified planning and command has resulted in a
complicated, disjointed organization without sufficient cohesion,
flexibility or morale for so great an enterprize, constantly changing
in character.
