The hand was played in Q dupli- cate contract match and following is the bidding as 1t actually oc- cured at the table. South, who held a four and a five card suit, felt that neither one was strong enough to open and decided to bid one no trump.

wouldn't even ask me to go to that horrid
place!" Her voice broke She put her head ON
the table and sobbed 1t was a procedure
which seldom failed to work with Matt.
With q sigh, Matt rose from his chair,
nervously lit a fresh cigarette and walked
slowly to the window. Below, snow-covered
automobiles slowly made their way along the
slippery streets and few pedestrians hurried
by as if the thought of warm homes accelerated
their progress "At least we'd be away from
this beastly snow" he muttered savagely.
Thelmas sobs answered him and, going TO
her he sat on the arm of her chair. She
raised tear-stained face. Surely it's not too
much to ask of you when You know what 1t
will mean to me-" he pleaded softly.
She raised her head angrily. That's just
it. You're only thinking of yourself Gradu-
ally her eyes Softened and she slipped an arm
about his neck "Oh, Matt, I've never fused
because you're poor. But I just couldn't be
happy there a minute. Please let's stay here"
As her lips found his, Matt drew her close.
Her happiness was the most important thing
after all.
I'VE won't go if you feel that way about
it, he whispered.
She smiled happily. why don't you go
over to Mr. Blanfords tonight and tell him
you won't CO." she coaxed You might change
your mind by morning
ITS too cold" he protested. And anyway
you know I'll keep my promise"
Just the same I'd feel lots better if you'd
tell him tonight"
"An right then. To please you I'll go over
and have a talk with him now"
How long will you be gomez" she asked.
"Oh, couple of hours. I'd rather talk to
him away from the Office. Maybe I can sound
him out and see If there's any chance of
promotion here" He slipped on his coat and
walked slowly toward the door. Thelma was
humming softly as she cleared away the din
ner dishes.
AS MATT made his way toward Blanfords
house. feeling of intense disappointment
surged over him. Now he realized how much
he had counted on that last plea to bring
Thelma around-and it had ended by his
giving in. Why must she always have her
way? Surely she did not realize how much the
promotion meant to him. If he turned down
this offer, Mr.. Blanford would be slow in sug-
costing something else. AS for promotions IN
the home ofice-well, he felt tolerably certain
that two years hence would find him just that
much deeper in the rut He a fool to
give in so easily. Why couldn't he stand his
ground against few tears? He loved her.
That was his only excuse.
In answer to his ring, maid opened the
door.
"Is Mr. Blanford IMP" inquired Matt
mo, sir he's isn't here right now. He
phoned that he wouldn't be in until after
8. Do you want to wait for him?" she
asked, opening the door invitingly.
Matt hesitated. He had promised Thelma
he would see Blanford tonight. The thought
Of long walk home and back again was too
disagTeeable to be considered. Yes he'd bet
ter wait.
In the library he nervously paced up and
down. Not since the days when he was small
boy with all his hopes centered on a pony had
he wanted anything quite so much as this trip.

CUDA'S ECONOMIC
PROBLEMS CITED
Machado Tells Congress He
Expects a Definite Con-
SoIidation OF Peace"

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, Cuba, November 4--PEsi-
dent Machado scted the attention Of
the Cuban Congress to economic prob
lens when II reconvened Monday and
said he expected . definite consolida-
tion Of peace"
Cubais economic condition has been
the subject Of several statements re-
Gently in which the United States has
been variously blamed on account Of It's
tariffs and defended as q friend.
The emergency revenue legislation
passed by the Senate now Is before the
House, along with q request from the
President that the Huse cut its budget
25 per cent in conformity with budget
adjustments In other departments. The
Senate will discuss the countrys eco
nomic status Wednesday.
Creation Of a separate department Of
labor also was recommended by the
Presidents message.
Absolves u. S. Of Blame.
Senator Celso Cuellar del Rio. Matan-
zas Delegate 10 the Cuban Congress,
said he disagreed with Senator Viriato
Gutierrezs recent statement that Cuba S
economic crisis is due TO the Platt
amendment, the treaty of reciprocity
with the United States and the high
tariffs OF that Nation"
Our economic difaculties derive" the
Matanzas man said In formal state
ment, from the fact tnat our
potential riches are absorbed by foreign
capital in the stupendous proportion OF
81 per cent, and, in riches already de-
valnned even more since the proportion
Ia close to 80 per cent"
This. he said, has brought about, IN
the 90 years Of our Republican ex-
istence. an unfavorable balance in our
FINANCES of $3.50, ,571 and monetary
supply of less than 100000, ,00o.'
Entry Into Banking Field.
He contended the Cuban government
should 90 into the banking field. so that
available money might be "concen-
trated and distributed In the public in
terest" and mole money might be
issued to represent riches in existence
or in state OF production.
The Hoover administration, ike tnat
of Roosevelt, has helped us to con-
uuer and strengthen our independence
and has always aided us in moments Of
economic difficulties" he said.
Neither is the United States to blame,
he asserted, for the fact that strangers
have taken over the greater, and the
better part OF the national territory,
made themselves lords of almost all
Cuban commerce, absorbed the greater
volume of the sugar and tobacco IN
dustries, dominated the more important
DEVELOPMENTS of public services, nor for
our lack of a banking system and our
own money"

under review, still more, 1t had been
exceeded. The second tremendous
fact since the last congress was the
liquidation of unemployment in the
Soviet Union. The third great fact
was the practical solution of the
grain problem on a Socialist basis.
Connected with this third fact was
the fourth great fact that the deci-.
sive masses of the poor and middle
peasantry were definitely on the path
to Socialism. This permitted the
development of the fifth fact, the
struggle for the liquidation of the
kulakS as a class.
The dominating role of Socialist
industry was seen in the fact that it
now accounted for two-thirdS of the
total production. Now that the grain
problem had been solved, intensive
work was being performed to raise
the level of technical culture and
solve the cattle breeding problem.
The right-wing opportunists had de-
clared that it would last or 10
years before the collective and Soviet
farms could supply the necessary
quantities of grain. However, these
predictions had been refuted. The
commodity production OF the collec-
tive and Soviet farms was already
above the level prescribed by the
Five Year Plan. At the time of the
XIV Party Congress collectivization
accounted for IL per cent of all
peasant farms; one year later 2.3
per cent; in 1929 81 per cent, and
at present 35.5 per cent During the
last 6 months million peasants had
joined the collective farms. The ad-
vantageS of collectivization already
made themselves felt. The average
area Of land under cultivation per
head in the collectives was twice as
large as the average per head for
the individual peasant farms. The
yield per unit was also considerably
higher in the collective farms. The
century old contradiction between
town and country was being wiped
out.
Referring to the tasks to be car
ried out this year, Molotov declared
that by the end of the year at least
so per cent of agriculture must be
collectivized. In Northern Caucasia.
The Central Volga district and the
steppe areas in Ukrainia the collec-
Invitation was already go per cent.
Today the members of the collective
agricultural undertakings were the
chief support of the Soviet govern
ment in the country areas.
A tremendous increase in produc-
ton was planned for industry. Dur
ing the course of the year 51S new
factories would begin work. Real
wages were rising and the costs of
production we're being lowered. The
slogan put forward by the masses,
Five Year Plan in Four Years" was
being carried out. In the industrial
group "a" petroleum, locomotive
building, agricultural machinery, peat

Whitewash Selves
Oakland Local Is in a
Bad Situation

OAKLAND, Calif.-Cooks, Wait
ers and Mattresses Local 81 at it's
last meeting had all of the local
grafters present, because one of the
clique was charged with embezzle-
ment and forgery. In the charge it
was exposed how Organizer johnson
used an old receipt, rubbed out the
contents of it and gave the receipt
for $40 with the signature of the
former secretary, who is dead, and
kept the. money for 80 days. Evi-
IDENTIFY this would not have been re-
turned, but, finding out that charges
were preferred against him, he
turned in the money the day of the
meeting.
From Bad to Worse.
The local is going from bad to
worse. The last few months the
local was in debt about $4,000 be-
cause they had to pay the officials
their fat salary.
The restaurants are firing the
union workers and taking in non
union workers for less wages and
longer hours.
By the way, here is news for A. F.
of L. union members in Oakland.
Who comes in to save the local from
bankruptcy? Why our big brother,
Spooner. He is the big official and
secretary of the Central Labor Coun-
Gil, who Tor many years controlled
most of the locals in the city. He
always puts his foot on every one
who dares to oppose him. Well, ne
is losing his hold slowly but surely in
the Central Labor Council, so now
he comes to our local and is nom
mated for the president. He stated
that he thought it was time for him
to step in and help to put the local
in good condition. He will meet in
q few days with the local officials
and will help to straighten the mis-
understandings. H'm-let us be on
guard. Some more whitewashing
coming.
That is the way these grafters
build the union-blacklist those who
dare to oppose them in their dirty
work.
We walters must stick together
with the mattresses, who recently
have been the fighting spirit in the
local Let lis exnOsa them az ever1,
turn. We shouldn't permit them to
pull the wool over our eyes. When
the local grafters are thrown out and
the local is in control of the workers
we will be able, together with the
militant workers, to fight for better
working conditions, which these fax
ers are not trying to help us attain
