Abstract
THE thirtieth annual report of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust for the year 1943 (The Trust, Dunfermline) records a year of quiet progress and consolidation, the total grant expenditure showing, for the first time during the War, a decrease, from £69,000 to £62,000. This was due to the transfer to the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts of financial responsibility for large orchestras and opera, the diminution or withdrawal of many of the salvage grants made early in the War, as well as of certain maintenance grants renewed on a diminishing scale, and the improved financial position of beneficiaries who have been offered grants on a deficiency basis. Grants for the equipment of youth clubs increased from £5,695 in 1942 to £9,178 in 1943; but conditions in the book trade have compelled the termination of the limited club library policy operated since 1940 for the benefit of new clubs. A preliminary report on an inquiry into conditions of unemployed young men in Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff was published in November under the title "Disinherited Youth", and a report on the Trust's bursary scheme for training youth leaders was also published during the year and circulated chiefly among central and local education authorities and voluntary organizations concerned with the welfare of young people. Grants were continued during 1943 in aid of the administration of the Land Settlement Association, the Museums Association, the National Council of Social Service, and the Rural Development Council of Northern Ireland as well as towards the maintenance of the three central libraries.
