§ Next year, if the taxes fulfil their promise, and they are doing it up to the present—as a matter of fact, the new taxes, all except three, have exceeded our expectations—if, next year, they come up to expectations, and if we return in the 1142 following year to a normal naval expenditure, we can see our way now to start next year a great national scheme of insurance against unemployment, and against invalidity—a scheme on a contributory basis with a liberal State subsidy, a State subsidy twice as liberal as that given by Germany for the same purpose—which will insure 2,500,000 of workmen employed in precarious trades against the evils of unemployment and 13,000,000 of workmen and workwomen against the distress that comes from sickness and premature breakdown of the breadwinner, and which will provide for the setting up of sanatoria for the curing of the workmen.
