Announcement of the creation by Edward S. Harkness of a trust of $10,000,000 to be used "for charitable work in Great Britain" was made yesterday in London. The board of trustees, including Stanley Baldwin, former premier; John Buchan, novelist; and Sir Josiah Stamp, economist, will meet soon to determine the disposition of the money.
