TRAVELLING GRANTS TO THE US

SIR,--A limited number of travelling grants to the United States. are to be awarded in January to young businessmen who have graduated and done their National Service. The grant will provide for travel to and from the United States and within that, country. There will also be a subsistence allowance for each day .spent in the United States up to a maximum of seventy days, the recommended dura- tion of the visit.

The aim is to enable holders, of these grants to see different parts of the country and to meet Americans in various• walks of life and to get to know the tradit:ons, customs and thought of the country.

On return to the United Kingdom, it is hoped that this experience may be turned to good ,account and so further understanding between the two countries.

Fuller- particulars of the project can be obtained from the English-Speaking Union of the Common- wealth, Dartmouth House, 37 Charles Street,

London, WE—Yours faithfully, F. FOGARTY
