The financial statement at the annual meeting of the National War Funds Council showed an accumulated fund of £87,598 and trust funds of £8348. The Income and expenditure account showed a deficit of £14,471 for twelve months, an Increase of over £ISOO over that for the previous yearAllowing for trusts and imprest committees the sum available for general and unemployment relief was approximately £07,000, which at the present rale of expenditure would suffice for about six years. Considerable discussion took place concerning general and unemployment relief, Iho expenditure for the year being £15,295. The increasing responsibilities the council were being called upon to shoulder with the consequent rapid depletion of funds was stressed, the probability being that the council’s funds would be expended before those of the district soci-
eties, though the original (Intention was that the council would provide Imprests to allow the societies to continue to function when their funds were exhausted.
