Authors seek share of govt. Aid by Ivor Brown London special owns in Britain today Reliance on the Public purse which in the Case of the poor is called seeking National assistance is increasingly common among people of All ranks callings and incomes. The number of professions demanding to be. Nationally assisted grows Ever larger and the claimants talk Ever louder. Doctors working for the Nat ional health service ask for bigger salaries which the tax payer has to find. School Mast professors for their premises and equipment As Well As for themselves and seek vastly increased Grants from the Treasury. Most British education is now on National assist Ance. Practitioners of the arts Are also clamorous in the lineup for Public Aid. Once most artists were regarded As disreputable types who ought to live on what they could earn from those who would pay. Britain had an old ers and University want much More in 194r parliament permitted local authorities to spend up to sixpence in the Pound of their incomes derived from local taxation in order to support the arts in their area. At first Many of these bodies did nothing about it but now there is a drastic change of opinion. Town councils have become eager to build and Back threat ers and concert Halls As a course of local prestige. Before that assistance had been limited to museums and Art galleries presumably on tie supposition that no body went there to enjoy himself. Authors of books have now become painfully aware that they Are out in the cold. It is True that a few whose work is in great demand can make Good Money but the vast majority make very Little. No subsidies for them. They have an additional and most reasonable cause for shouting louder than any of the other professions. Public bodies so far from helping them Are in robbing them by the and Strong Puritan belief that provision of lavish Public Library theatres were the workshops of ies from which a popular Book satan. Hence Public endowment Mav be taken out free and used was unthinkable. That tradition has at last been broken in the Case of music and drama. The demand for a National theatre built and sustained with National assistance a Campaign which had languished for Over a Century has at by 100 or even 200 readers. The Public libraries act of 1850 legalized the spending of the local taxpayers Money on books for general use. This was reasonably designed to help the self education of ill paid workers who could not Deax Murdoch who was elected president of the Art directors club after the second annual exhibition of advertising and editorial Art.

But now the whole Conception of a free Library has changed. It provides fiction of All kinds and is used by those who want a murder mystery or i a love Story quite As much As by those who Are seeking knowledge.
