terest on the part of the newspapers.
which have always printed political
speeches without payment, but there
have been various suggestions from
newspaper publishers that If the Ma
tional Committees have any money to
spend for the distribution of speeches
they could just as well buy advertising
space in the American press to print
their speeches. Thus far the political
committees have avoided this subject.
though in other campaigns it was not
unusual to see hundreds of thousands
of dollars spent in this way. Objec-
tons have been entered from time to
time that political advertising would
lead to discrimination between news
papers in given communities and would
bring up controversies about alleged
influence which the major political
parties do not wish to be troubled with.
As a consequence probably nothing
will be done by the political commit
tees along this line this year, though
the whole problem of campaign ex-
penses is some day going to be re
viewed from the standpoint of public
policy. Various members of Congress
have suggested that campaign funds
should not be solicited from private
sources at all. but a limited amount
be made available by the Government
itself for each OF the major parties.

The rule governing this is very simple. Don't open with one no trump # your hand will lose
 nothing by becoming the dummy
 at a no trump contract: e. g., if you held spades A K x( hearts A \ \, diamonds A K. clubs x X Here is c hand containing five quick tricks which should not be opened with one no trump, but
 with a bid of one spade. This
 hand has nothing to gain with the opening lead. If there is game in the hand at no trump, undoubt- edly the extra trick will be made
 with partner as the declarer and this hand as the dummy.
 With a hand containing tor tricks, partners hand undoubt. edly holds cards with tenace posi- tions, and therefore the gain will be made by having his hand led up to rather than yours.
 However, suppose your hand
 held spades A K x X, hearts K x diamonds A o x, clubs K x x. With
 this type of hand the proper open.
 ing declaration is one no trump and
 not one spade.
 If you were to open the bidding with one spade, partner, in nl
 probability, would answer witt
 one no trump and you would ther
 have this hand being led through
 rather than up to.
 You can easily see the advan.
 tage of playing the no trfmp con. | tract with this hand as the de
 ciarer rather than dummy, as yot are, in all probability, sure to wir

6x WWAs Gs ACNAnLxNING
 Secretary, American Bridge League
 When contract bridge was first played, we were taught not to make an original bid of one no trump when the hand contained biddable suit = in other words, to bid one no trump originally was to deny the holding of 8 biddable suit. This theory has been com pletely changed in modern contract bidding.
 An original bid of one no trump now shows a very fine hand which should contain from 5 1-2 to 1 quick tricks. It denies a biddable five-card major suit, but not neces- sarily a good four-card major suit.
 It shows a hand that may gain a trick by the opening lead by be- ing led. up to rather than through. Tn the majority of cases 1t should have all four suits stopped.
 However, there are times when an original no trump bid must be made on a hand having only three suits stopped, but the fourth suit should contain at least four small cards. To become successful contract player, 1t is necessary to learn the manipulation of no trump con. tracts. One of the first ques- tions asked by many players re- garding this new type of no trump bids is how to distinguish whether a hand should be bid one of suit or one no trump when containins ! 3 1-2 or more quick tricks.

Japan considered the most Inn
portant point in the league pro-
posal the provision for round ta-
Bile conference after withdrawal
of troops, for Japan considers
withdrawal Of Chinese forces neces4
sary for permanent solution OF

The four main points Of the
league proposal were:
The Interested powers will

liostilities;
2-The conference will be UNDER
taken on the basis that. Japan re-
tects any territorial gains at shang-

The first reaction to the peace
moves at Shanghai and Geneva
had been distinctly danpening. 1t
was intimated that the Chinese
proposals made aboard the Britt

required simultaneous withdrawal
Of both forces.
Immediate cessation OF HOSTILE
ties at Shanghai was held impos-
stbie.

ed that there was very little to be
said about the situation. Japan
had just cast o stone into q pool,

were the peace reports from Gen.

Geneva had not reported officially
on developments there, the spokes-
man said, but on the basis Of press

appear to be similar to the Japa-
nese proposals.
