PREFACE

In the National Insurance Act it has been our
aim to provide as far as may be for every worker
some kind of shelter against the slings and arrows
of fortune. In doing so we have not, I think, laid
any real additional burden upon the wealth and pro-
ductive activity of the nation. We have substituted
for tardy relief provision made in anticipation of
need, no more costly, but infinitely more effective
and more kindly in its operation than distress funds
or the Poor Law. Some remain, for the moment,
wholly or partly outside the operation of the scheme.
We have not even yet been able to reach the lowest
deeps, to grasp the utterly incapable, the loafer, or
the wastrel, and set him, too, on the firm ground of
self-respecting manhood fit to withstand all the
shocks of adversity, but we may claim to have
established barriers to prevent men falling into that
abyss of human despair.

We have in one great measure swept into the

PREFACE



National Insurance Scheme some 10,000,000 workers
hitherto unprovided for. Much remains to do, and
in the coming years much may be done, but here at
least is a beginning made on a broad and com-
prehensive plan.

The clear and concise explanation of a measure
of such complexity, which touches our national life
at so many points, confers rights and imposes
liabilities upon so many millions of the population,
and affects so many diverse interests, is of great
importance to a large number of people who cannot
but be anxious to know exactly what their position
is. Moreover in such a measure, as past experience
teaches us, it is inevitable, whatever care may be
taken in the processes of draftsmanship, that points of
difficulty will arise. Especially is this the case in an
Act which traverses so much untrodden ground. I feel
confident therefore that, in the work of administra-
tion, a book such as this, which endeavours to
anticipate and elucidate the difficulties, will be of
considerable value to a variety of inquirers. The
authors have made a minute study of the Act, and
are well acquainted with all its details and ramifica-
tions. It would obviously be impossible for me to
express agreement with all the opinions indicated by
them on questions of interpretation, but they appear
to have collected a mass of information which cannot

fail to be of value, and to have dealt with their
subject from every point of view. I heartily com-
mend their book to all who wish to bear their share
in working out the scheme which Parliament has
initiated.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE.



NOTE BY THE AUTHORS



After the storm and stress of Parliamentary discussion and
public criticism, comes the less exciting but none the less arduous
task of bringing into operation the machinery of a statute, which
makes a wholly new departure in social legislation. It is for the
use of those who, in a greater or less degree, are entrusted with
this task and for those who, without being directly responsible,
are nevertheless as good citizens interested in the success of the
measure, that this work is designed. We have attempted to
describe, simply and broadly, the machinery of the Act and to
bring together in a connected form matters which can be gathered
only from a careful comparison of the various sections. The
position and responsibilities of employers of labour and of insured
persons under both Parts of the Act have been carefully set forth
in a systematic manner and the finances of the measure have
received special attention. What are the reserve values which
unlock the funds of the Friendly Societies, what becomes of the
State twopence, and how and when the promised extension of
benefits will take place, are questions to which not only politicians
but the public at large desire a simple but considered answer,
which we have endeavoured to give. We hope the book may
prove of value to officials and members of Friendly Societies,
Trades Unions, and other Approved Societies, whose interests are
so vitally affected, and that it may serve as a useful handbook for
future members of the Insurance Committees which are to be set
up for the administration of the Act.

Our task has not been merely one of exposition. Many grave
legal questions will arise as to the interpretation of the measure,
and we have attempted, in annotating the sections, to call
attention to these problems and to assist in their solution by
reference to decided cases and parallel statutes. In this respect



x NOTE BY THE AUTHORS

we trust that the members of the legal profession may find the
book not without value in suggesting interpretations, if not always
in finally solving the points of difficulty.

To the members of the medical profession, who will shortly be
called upon to decide the manner and conditions under which
they will perform the important functions assigned to them by this
measure, we commend our work in the hope that it will assist
them in finding the course which is desirable in their own
interests and those of the public.

It has been our endeavour to deal fairly and fully with all
points of interest without unduly trespassing on the realm of
controversy. We may have erred in our interpretations and some
mistakes there must be, but we shall be sincerely grateful to any-
one who will supplement our efforts by disclosing our errors.
