LONDON BISHOP'S PLEA.

THE EXTRAS OF HOLLYWOOD.

OUTSPOKEN SERMON TO THE AMERICAN LEGION.

YOU ARE TAUGHT TO HATE

THIS COUNTRY.”'

"I am perfectly certain that the young people in the schools of your great country are not taught to love Great Britain as they should do; indeed, I have been assured by young men with whom I have cor versed that they had been taught to hate this country.

"This business must be taken in hand, for it is, from the point of view of both countries, most serious thing.""

捉

The Bishop of London made this statement in his sermon at S. Margaret's, Westminster, on the occasion of the visit of the Ameri- can Legion.

Bond Of Understanding.

I believe with all my soul, and I say it to all your representatives," continued the bishop, that the whole future of the world depends on dur two nations keeping together in the bonds of love, fellowship and understanding, and my prayer over there and here was, and is, that nothing should ever dim the good understanding and the trust and love which were manifested on that glorious morning, which I shall never forget, when we welcomed the representatives of your nation in St. Paul's Cathedral on coming to stand side by side with us in the great struggle.

"All misunderstanding seemed then to have passed, "away and have a treasured letter from MŹ Page thanking me for the glorious service of that day."

The bishop pointed out that the two nations had separate needs; America was self-contained and did not want a far-flung empire. This country would starve in three weeks if it had had no other source to

look to.

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. The extra players in the crowd scenes of films made in Hollywood look a light-hearted, gay lot of people, certainly. And when they' are actually working in a film in- deed they are gay.net

A few days ago a film director in a studio here said to one of his assistants, Just look at that old fellow, doing that animated bit of acting over there Is be one of the regulars". The assistant re plied, "No, he isn't. He's nearly crazy with joy at baving got the day's work. His wife and daugh ter hadn't eaten for three days: they are dying of starvation. He's acting his bit with all that thusiasm out of sheer happiness

Similar situations occur every day in Hollywood.

And among the crowd of actors. who create atmosphere" in-pic- tures one notices, frequently, a- distinguished face.

Someone in-

forms the visitor, casually, that the owner of the face is General X or Major V-naming men who perhaps in the Russian, perhaps the German, the French, or the Austrian army possessed names to conjure with during the days of 1914 to 1918. And now they are extra players in Hollywood, only too happy when they receive a day's salary for playing an extra

On the other hand, the idea chat anyone in this country might hold that America wants to swallow up Canada is just about as ridicu

ous as the other iden. We want nutual trust between the nations so that those things will never be thought of."

The bishop then asked Americans not to be surprised if a man who had lost two sons in the war three yeare before America came into the war, and owing to the stress of things in this country had tow to sell up bis home, felt a little. sore about it

Instead of feelings of which he spoke being engendered, he urged that between the two countries there should be bonds of sympathy, good-will, love, and co-operation.
