The basic report of Rin-Cho performs an important part in the promotion of the administrative reform of the Japanese Government. On the other hand it makes some retrogressive propositions against democracy, social security and social welfare service. These propositions at issue aim to realize "a vital welfare society", but actually they are in danger of extension of the self-reliance of individual and the private support of kinship. Our democracy and social welfare service of Japan are on their way to development, but haven't yet developed to a high degree. Therefore in the present condition, I think, the promotion of selfreliance and private support may present a grave menace to the development of democracy in Japan. I have written this paper for the purpose of consideration of these points.
