KINSMEN TRUST
NEW MOVEMENT IN BRITAIN
RUGBY, February 18
The Kinsmen Trust,, which is to provide scholarships and grants in Britain for children from the United States and thU Dominions, was inaugurated in London today. Preference will be given to relatives and friends of those who have afforded hospitality and rendered services to British children. ' :
'Mr. Geoffrey' Shakespeare, Dominions Undersecretary, said that nothing tended to cement countries more closely than the" entrusting to one country of the children of another Some 6000 children had been evacuated, privately or officially, to Canada, and nearly 5000 to the United States. Thus there were 11,000 parents who felt they were in debt to the North American Continent. A great number of these had resources, barely adequate for their own needs, but there were a large number who were able and anxious to show gratitude in practical form and even would welcome the establishment of the Kinsmen Trust to return to the 'children of North America the generous hospitality that had been extended to children from the United Kingdom.
