| BRITAIN & AMERICA. A GREAT LIGHT AT
LORD BIRKENHEAD ON THEIR UNITY OF AIM.
Anglo-American relations and the Wall Street collapse were among the subjects dealt with by Lord Birkenhead at a luncheon of the Oxford Luncheon Club at Oxford last month, when he gave in- pressions of his recent visit to the United States.
Lord Birkenhead said that it might seem presumptuous to sug gest that anything could be seen et value in a visit lasting six "wecki, yet sometimes the very rapidity of one's journey enabled one to co- eet, not indeed knowledge, but im- pressions which, if founded sound information, might be of some interest. The Wall Street collapse had been the greatest pos- sible surprise to him. He had met many of the leading figures in Wall Street, but not one who had anti. cipated the extent of the collapse. „

When the Prince of Wales had Bartholomew's Hospital, London, Enished his moving appeal for St.
recently, he turned Pa electric switch on the table in front of him, and set revolving a great light or the 1oof. This for months to come will remind London of the great effort whion was started to raise £1,000,000 for the oldest hospital in London, whose record of service has lasted through eight centuries and 97 reigne.
There is a very little of Rahere's religious foundation left in stone in the huge blocks of building, which for the most part date from the early eighteenth century. A grent scheme of reconstruction has be come urgert, and has now hegun in the building of new surgical blockt and cperation theatres, but a great
deal more must be done in the way of new buildings and the endow. ment of teaching and research. The raising of £1,000,000 in these days is a formidable undertaking, but the claims of " Bart's" are incómpara. ably strong, and a good start has been made in solid contributions from the King Edward's Hospital Fund and the great City Companies and other sources.
The great hall at "Bart's," where the Prince was welcomed at 2 anthering of medical people and friends of the hospital, is one of the finest rooms in London, domi- He was not putting the training,nated by Holbein's glowing portrait capacity, and judgment of English financiers kelow those he had ob served with admiration in America. With all the disabilities and handi- caps with which British Snance had been hampered, it was not without satisfaction that they could reflect that in 1920 the City of London was still the acknowledged centre of the finance of the world,
of Henry VIII., who was the recond founder. There is a long tradition behind everything at "Bart's," and the presence of the Lord Mayor was a reminder that the first Mayor of London, Henry Fitz Alwhyn, in the twelfth century, was connected with the great city hospital, as all his successors have been, officially.

Anglo-American Harmony, Speaking of Anglo-American rela- tions, Lord Birkenhead said that he never met an Englishman who de- ired anything but good relations with the United States, He had met many Englishmen who disliked Americans, and many Americans who dieliked Englishmen, but there was to-day in these islands almost complete unanimity of thought on tiis question. On the question of international morality the broad views of the two peoples were idens tical. I don't believe," he con- tinued, that two nations could be found in the world who so univer- sally detest the horrors of war. The jurisprudence of the United States was founded upon and bor rowed from ours. All three circum. stances made for a community of thought from which a community of
