The Bidding

The Bidding
Most players will open South's
/ hand with one club. but the writer
7. has long advocated the bidding Of
! four-card suits ahead of five-card
suits and as both the North and
South hand contain four and a
, five. the writer will give the bid
/. ding according to his system.
[. South bid one heart, West
! passed, North bid one spade--this
lis q one over one and, as advocated
by the writer, requires the partner
to rebid, although 1t makes no
/, promise for game. East passed.
!. and South bid three clubs. The
! bid Of three clubs informs partner
i that there is q possible game in
: the hand even though partners
hand contains only one and one
half tricks. North responds with
three diamonds. II South now
! held Ave hearts and five clubs he
would re-bid his hearts, while II
he held two spades and two dia-
monds he would go to no trump,
/, but holding three diamonds and a
singleton spade, he bids four dia-
\ monds.
This gives North pretty accu-
rate reading on, his hand-flve
clubs, four hearts and three dia-
monds. With this information,
North surrenders his desire to
play the hand at no trump and bids
six diamonds.
The Play
East has the opening lead and
plays the deuce of club. The truck
; Is won in dummy with the ace,
West playing the three, and declar-
err the FIVE. With North, the de-
clarer. holding two doubletons and
J the dummy singleton, 1t Is more
than likely that one hand holds a
singleton diamond. The declarer
plays the five of diamonds from
dummy, West plays the nine and
North, the declarer, wins the trick
l with the ace.
The nine played by West warns
the declarer that East may hold
four diamonds to the queen ten. so
q small diamond Is led by declarer.
! and when East plays the eight,
South, the dummy, wins the trick
with the jack, West discarding the
/. eight of hearts. The ten of spades
! Is returned from dummy. North.
J the declarer, winning with the ace.
The eight of spades is ruffed in
dummy with the seven of dia-
monds.
The king of clubs is led from
dummy and then small club,
which the declarer trumps with the
'4hree OF diamonds. Declarer leads
the king of diamonds. discarding
small heart from dummy. He then
! leads the king of spades. and East
makes q good play in discarding
the jack Of clubs. The nine Of
hearts il discarded from dummy.
but II Is easy for the declarer to
read East's hand which contains
nothing but the queen of diamonds
and three hearts, so the six OF dia-
monds Is led by the declarer which
East IL forced to win with the
queen Of hearts.
East must now lead a heart
which IL won by dummy with the
ace ana the clubs are good IN dam
my. Declarer has bid and made
a small Aam at diamonds.

Leaders and
Leadership
BY TZIRUL


THE Party must have an expert
i enced staff if its leadership is to
be on correct lines. Without ten
or so talented (and talents are not
as thick as peas) reliable leaders
with a trade union training and
with considerable experience in
Party work who are able to work in
harmony with each other, not a
single class can carry on steady
struggle in contemporary society,
wrote Lenin ("What Is to Be
DoneO.
The practical application of the
political line of the Party as well
as Of its tactics and strategy, are
closely linked up with the problem
Of guaranteeing to the Party an
efficient cadre of functionaries,
with the question of how the Party
forces are distributed, how closely
they are connected with the masses
Of workers, to what extent they are
politically trained and tested, and
theoretically prepared. That is why
the Bolsheviki, headed by Lenin,
were always SO intent on the edu-
cation and training of Party cadres,
and carried on this work in the
midst of ruthless struggle against
opportunist deviations from the
political line Of the Party.

against what enemies did Bolshe-

Communism is: "First of all, and
principally, in the struggle against
opportunism. which, in 1914, grew
definitely into social chauvinism,
and finally deserted to the bour-
geoisie against the proletariat.
This was naturally the chief enemy
of Bolshevism within the move
ment of the working class, and this
remains the chief enemy also de-
Neloped on an international scale"

and hardened itself in long years
of struggle against petty bourgeois
radicalism, which is similar to an
archism or has borrowed much
from it and deviates in all essen
tials, from the conditions and re-
quirements of consistent prole-
tartan class-struggle.'
Ruthlessly sweeping aside all OPP

variety the Bolsheviki headed by
Lenin also kept an attentive eye
on all advanced revolutionary
workers, they drew them into the

n Mo GfOOArM, I1O1dliO Lie
n Manifesto adopted by the World
Congress Against War furnishes a
platform upon which various ele-
ments of sincere opponents of i'm
perialist war can unite. In the Re
solutions Committee where the
Communists constitute small
minority and where intellectuals,
pacifists, non-party elements and
Socialist delegates were in the ma
jority, the Manifesto was adopted
unanimously. At the plenary ses-
sion the Manifesto was approved by
1900 delegates minus 10 Trotskyites.
The Communists accepted COM
mon minimum program of struggle
against imperialist war but they
did not mask their party position
and their maximum program. In
his program speech Marcel Cachin,
French Communist leader did not
rnince words:
"In order to defeat imperial
ism we must turn imperialist war
into civil war. In order to come
out victorious from this civil war
we must do all in our power to
disarm the bourgeoisie and arm
the working class. We must win
over the soldiers on our side.
From this standpoint the question
of mobilization is a practical
question. One who signs the
order of mobilization decides
thereby that the workers enter
the barracks becomes soldiers
and take weapons in their hands.
Those who oppose military serv-
ice without further demands him
der the arming of the proletariat.
1t is precisely the revolutionary
workers that must join the
armies in order to lead the
armed proletarian masses in the
struggle against the bourgeoisie.
"These tactics, are the victori-
Gus tactics of the Bolsheviks in
1917. The TRANSPORTATION of the
imperialist war into civil war has
brought freedom to the workers
and peasants of the Soviet Union
Therefore, we demand tat
i'm the choice Of anti-war weap-
ons the experiences of our Rus
sian brothers should be utilized.
To win the army and the navy
on our side, to create a united
front of toilers and to teach them
the use of arms this is our duty
If we wish to lead the proletariat
to better days :"
DELEGATES DEEPLY
IMPRESSED
The delegates listened to Cachins
speech with profound attention
His clear enunciation, his SLOW
manner of speaking helped swing
Is words into the minds and
hearts of his audience. Those who
understood French swallowed his
ords, and when upon the conclu-
sion of his speech the translators
from their high red perches began
tranSlating Cachin's words into
German, English and Dutch, the
delegates strained, their ears in
order not to miss a word. The
rabbi in the American delegation
sighed with disappointment and
the two old pacifist ladies in our
delegations were obviously unhappy
But they had no answer to make
The experiences of the Bolsheviks
in 1917 are a powerful argument!

PROBLEM
NOT SOLVED.

NUE. SOLNED.
This problem of cardes is felt in
every section of the Party and par
ticularly in the lower organizations.
1t has not yet been satisfactorily
solved nor have any serious efforts
been made in taking this problem
in hand. AS the author points out,
this is one of number of impor-
tant weaknesses accounting for the
tagging of the Party behind the re-
evolutionary mass struggles.

ers from below, the establishment
of links with the masses in the
factories by the promotion of fac
tory workers, the carrying on of the
daily work by far larger number
of factory workers in place Of a
small number of secretaries; the
strengthening, by a policy of con-
centration, the lower links of the
Party, all of these weaknesses ap-
ply with special force to the Party
in the U. S.
The measures which must be
adopted in order to overcome this
weakness by the pursuit of syS-
tematic cadre policy, are clearly
outlined by the writer. His inSis-
tence that this question must be
given systematic attention, that
there must be real energetic day
to day consistent handling of this
question is entirely correct.
THE CRY FOR FORCES.
Everywhere there is the cry 'give
us forces, forces, forces" But as
the author emphasizes. there are
forces at hand" 1t is necessary to
select them, to push them forward.
1t is necessary that these workers
be Systematically helped" -
that working class leaders be

aged to work for their own i'm.
provement, given opportunities to
prove their worth by the assign
ment of the most important and
increasingly responsible work.
We ask the party members, the
district and section committees to
give consideration to this article
and to work out ways and means in
order to apply them locally. The
Central Committee of the Party
likewise is working out ways and
means to overcome the inadequacy
and weaknesses of the Party cadres.
This task must be fulfilled as part
of, in connection with, and as
consequence of the development of
the mass struggles of the workers
and the achievement of the leading
role of the Party in the growing
struggles of the workers against
wage cuts, for unemployment relief
and insurance, against imperialist
war, etc.
