Social Insurance Fund in Soviet Russia.

The social insurance fund for the benefit of the workers in Soviet Russia will total 3,757,600,000 dollars this year. This sum is set aside for the workers for medical care, care for children, insurance for old age or temporary disability, including confinement of women workers. This fund is administered by the trade unions. While the workers in the capitalist and colonial countries are the victims of unemployment and stravation and get very little relief if any, only in a country like Soviet Russia where the workers rule, can such a huge sum of money be devoted to the health and care of the masses. This is because the first consideration of the Soviet  Government is the well-being of the workers.

General Smuts, in a recent speech said, «There will be no underdog so long as I am Minister of Justice. All are equal in the eyes of the law and I will carry out my duty in this wise.
