LORD NUFFIELD'S WORRIES

INCREASED BY 500%

SENTIMENT

Begging Letters From COLLIDES

All Parts Of The World

LORD Nuffield, who confessed that he had "not the foggiest

notion" of the extent of his gifts to charity, except. that they

· totalled more than £10,000,000, said that he had "got tired of giving away money and needed a rest.”

He was discussing the announce Iment of his Intest benefaction, his £1,000,000 ft to Oxford University for the creation of a new college and the endowment of Fellowships.

"The idea that giving away, money is rosy thing is the biggest fal- incy," sald Lord Nulled. "My res- ponsibilities and worries

Explaining the reasons for his an- nouncement that he could not con- sider any further benefactions al pre- sent, he mided:

One can do so much harm by giving money away In the wrong direction.

WORLD-WIDE REQUESTS

"After the announcement of any gift, I am written to from all over" the world. The requests for money come from individuals and organisa- tions alike. I have bad letters from Central Africa and from the East, many of them obviously written by professional letter-writers,

"When you have made a gift, you are the man to be shot at by every- body who thinks he would like some money. People with stacks of money. themselves write to ne on behalf of causes for which, if they wished, they could easily give enough of their

own.

"At the present time I have six people opening my letters. Much of my correspondence is marked Per- sonal,' 'Urgent' and 'Most Important." The work begins al 8.30 in the morn- ing, but I cannot get my own letters until 11.

"I never answer a letter from my own private address, and 1 never open a letter at home unless i re- cognise the handwriting. For the past 12 months, I have been getting an average of 200 letters day, nearly all of them asking for money. "I make a point of rejecting these Inopportune applications. Frankly, 1 am rather short with people who stop me in the alreet. I have been stopped many times by people who should

know better.

"Por these reasons I must cimphasise i that from now onwards 1 cannot acknowledge these requests, or ans- wer correspondence which my sent gift may provoke."

Lord Nuffield explained the motives: which prompt his generosity. "I just feel that it is up to anyone who has more than he requires to help those who are less fortunate," he said. "In particular, 1 like to help those whose health is not such as I myself JORSEES.

Sentiment collided with Interest In States of the United carly stages reaction to the Sino-Japanese uni- declared war, and business opinion did not exert any decisive mandate upon the course of United States policy. Lack of confidence in the neutrality law probably further con- fused the general reaction to the For Eastern struggle,

The historical sympathy of the United States for China and the ten- deney to support the weaker party in a struggle were countered by ccond- mic interest bused upon the large and flourishing comineree with Japan. Trade with Japan in 1930 represented 8.3 per cent. of United States total ex- ports and 7.1 per cent. of imports, whereas exports to China represented 1.0 per cent of total exports and 3 per cent. of imports. Some observers thought that the relatively large com. mercial Interest with Japan was deterrent to application of the United States neutrality act,

The national foreign trade conven- don to be held at Cleveland, Ohio. November 3 to 5, will afford the first broad forum for businessmen's dis- cussion of the struggle in the Orient, and muy crystalize opinion concern- ing the future course of United States policy both toward the Far Eastern war and the Philippine Common- wealth.

This twenty-fourth annual conven-. tion will concern itself with the Unit- ed States policy of international co- operation and non-discrimination in the field of commerce, but special sessions devoted to the Far East and the Philippines, and to Latin Amerin, will localize attention to current pro- blems both in the Far East; and among the southern neighbours of the United Statcs.
