Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Social Security Board: Letter From the Social Security Board Transmitting First Annual Report of the Social Security Board for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1936 An attempt to find security for a people is among the Oldest of political Obligations and the greatest of the tasks of a state. The Declaration of Independence sets down as self-evident the right of a people to provide new guards for a future security. The avowed object of the Constitution of the United States is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. But what is security? It is no blessing to be had for the asking. It is no gift of the government through a single legislative act. It is no abstraction too nebulous for definition. Security begins with bread and butter. But a mere subsistence is no security for the American citizen. The Nation is rich in natural resources; it possesses a developing technology; it has a varied abundance of human capaci ties to turn to account. Security is more than a condition of material well-being. An opportunity to earn a living, to be a member of the community, to have a part in the government is basic. In positive terms, the security of a people is the sum of the arrangements set up by business, by the government, and by society through which the things we cherish are safeguarded against the hazards we, as individ nals, cannot control.
