Excerpt from Old Age Pensions and Pauperism: An Inquiry as to the Bearing of the Statistics of Pauperism Quoted by the Rt. Hon. J. Chamberlain, M. P. And Others, in Support of a Scheme for National Pensions

The returns of pauperism in England and Wales are fro quently quoted as absolute evidence in favour Of some kind of National Pension Scheme. This paper has been written in order to show that the relation between the two has been mis-stated, and that the returns afford no pretext for the proposal. If this be so, the main and most telling argument for it falls to the ground.

In support of the proposal, other arguments have also, no doubt, been used. But they are of minor importance, and to them little or no reference is here made. Here it was desired to deal with only one point in the controversy.
