that and the generally agreeable treatment which Hollywood play CTS receive. Preacher is very busy and prosperous movie butler, but he is not star and he has not forgot ten the way he used to get kicked around, and sometimes out, on Broadway.
 Nice Work
 There were many hungry, job less weeks and months in New York, and for a time he even ac- cepted the indignity of being a comic chorus boy, singing and dancing with a group of ex-army men who all were more than 6 feet tall. After becoming an actor he remained painfully aware that, backstage, he was regarded as no more human or necessary than one of the props. But it's differ ent in Hollywood!
 When an actor reports for work in the morning, Preacher ob- served, a waiter comes over from the commissary, takes his order If he hasn't had breakfast, and de- livers loaded tray to his dressing room. On the set, he never is al- lowed to stand very long, for somebody's always following him around with a chair. The property man always can produce a bottle of pop if he's warm, or an aspirin if he has headache.
 A prop boy always is at hand to run errands. And there's a chap who stands around with a powder puff ready to powder his nose if he gets tired of powder ing it himself. A studio car al- ways is at his service if some things wrong with his own. And even his social engagements and romances are arranged by the studio publicity department. All in all, Preacher finds that actors have a pretty easy time of it.
 Beneficial Bump
 A bump on the head caused Preacher to become a movie butler. I don't mean that he was dropped when he was child. It was bump against an overhead microphone in his first picture, Hollywood Party" in which he had been cast as gentleman. But due to his feet 4 1-2 inches of height he kept getting in the way of the sound boom, so the dl- rector decided he was too ludi- crously tall for the part. AS par tial compensation he was allowed to play the bit of a butler.
 So bored and depressed was Preacher that his mood was re- flected in his acting. Instead of resenting this lack of spirit, Di- rector Chuck Reisner thought 1t funny and used the actor in sev- eral similar parts. When Preacher tried to snap out of his sorry mood, Reisner wouldn't stand for it; told him to hold the pose and he'd amount to something in Hol- lywood. Sure enough, Frozen Fuss Preacher now is making four or five times as much money as he ever earned being a frivolous

Hollywood-Recently, and for the third time, 20th-Fox took up Arthur Preachers option. The actor doesn't know Daryl Zanuck, having met him only once, and briefly, so he dashed off a little note of apprecia- tion for the renewal of his contract. Back came letter from Zanuck saying that the company was very glad to have him working for it.
 This may sound to you like an ordinary exchange of formal pleas antries, but Preacher, when I saw him, could talk of nothing except

The writer estimated that even
with mounting emergency cXpen-
ditures "it remains doubtful
whether the entire supplementary
appropriations approved by the
Diet session can be used up with
in the next year"
Since August, 1887, exports and
imports of gold and of certain
other commodities have not been
made public. This has been inter
preted as covering weakened
position. The Oriental Economist
stated that while the individual
items have not been published
they have been included in pub
lished totals which show that ia
pans import balance is not so un-
favorable as might be supposed.
The trade figures are withheld
under the industrial espionage
law so that foreign governments
and the people at home may not
know the details Of how much is
going into munitions.
1t is the fashion in Japan for
leaders to talk Of "a national
crisis" or drastic emergency"
1t is sometimes thought that
alarms are raised occasionally so
that greater grants of power may
be accorded those in control. Fol-.
lowing up that line of thought, it
might be reasoned that perhaps
the present situation is not SO
serious as some of Japan's harsh
control methods might indicate.
Leaders might be using the cur
rent circumstances to impose a
type of government which would
not be popular in less strenuous
times.
In recent years the economic
structure Of Japan has been shift
ing toward cartel system with
the government sponsoring COM
binations of firms in related indus

There is no thought of non
cooperation. Many Japanese are
not in favor of the war in China,
but they would not think of re-
fusing help. That would be dis
loyalty to the emperor, the most
serious crime possible.

Fred Roe said that the Glover
