The Bidding

While South has favorable no trump distribution, he has a bid able spade suit, therefore his open ing bid should be one spade. West has the required high card strength for an ovcrcall, but he has no bid- dabIe suit, and therefore must pass North has two biddable suits-as they are both of equal length, the higher ranking suit is bid first, therefore North should bid two hearts. East's only possible bid has already been made by south, therefore he should pass.
 South, lacking normal support in hearts. should now respond with two no trump. North would then show his other suit with q bid of three diamonds and South would then go to three no trump. Many players with two five-card suits and a. singleton in partners suit will refuse to allow the hand to be played at no trump, and with a hand similar to North's would pre- fer to bid four diamonds and force partner to make a choice between diamonds and hearts. However. when this hand was played, South bought the contract for three no
 
 trump.
 The Play
 West, the opening leader. has two four-card suits. South's denial of both of North's suits shows West that undoubtedly South's side strength is clubs, therefore q club opening, may be detrimental to West. The diamond suit Is safer opening and 1t will be q lead through strength. as North has bid diamonds. Therefore West leads the jack of diamonds which IS won by the declarer with the queen. His natural play now is the nine of hearts, West should play low. the declarer takes the finesse and East wins with the jack.
 East reasons the hand as fol- lows: If South held the queen of hearts it would have been led In preference to the nine, while If he held the ace and one heart he might have allowed his partner to play the hand at hearts. West has opened diamonds. therefore he has at least four diamonds---this leaves the declarer with but one diamond There is q possibility of killing the dummy by the return of diamond if West can lay off the hearts until the second round--so instead of res turning his long spade suit. due to the fact that he had no re-entries East tries to kill the dummy and returns the six of diamonds which is won with North's ace.
 The declarer may return the king of diamonds from dummy oi may lead a spade or a club. but regardless of how well he play, the hand. all that West must do ii to refuse to win the first hear trick. When the declarer lends | small heart. West should play ths queen and then take tho next hear trick with the aco---this will block the dummy and defent the decIar er's contract one trick.
 There arc several interesting variations of play. but this enpu' claiiy good defense on the part Ol East and West stops game.

Katsuii Debuchi

Japanese Ambassador Katsu Debuch is soon to
leave washington for home. Reports are that he is
A&be replaced.
If that is true, it is not only regretable but
little ominous 1t is open secret that the mill
tarsts of Japan were dissatisfied with his handling
of Nippon's Manchuian invasion episode in this
country.
He was too conciatory they said. Too mild with
the state department
Few diplomats have made more friends in Amer
lea than Ambassador Debuchi Few have handled
themselves better in difficult situation. During the
most dangerous moments of the Japanese Chinese
conflict when the entire world was frankly critical of
Japans actions, he kept his feet on the ground. He
never lost his head Nor did he lose his temper-and
that was the most important of all His contagious
smile and his personality carried him much farther
at washington than any amount of table-pounding.
Buster is seldom an aid to diplomacy, as Japan has
very good reason to know. But for her threat of
serious consequences" uttered on the of vote
in congress on Japanese exclusion the act most likely
never would have passed.
A similar gesture at the height of the Sino-Japa-
nese crisis, to put it conservatively, would have
availed Japan exactly nothing whatever. 1t would
have aggravated, instead of appeased world senti-
ment against japanese aggression
TODAY Japan is reported to be contemplating new
dmperiastic ventures in Asia. If that is then true
diplomacy of the very highest order, not saber-rat
ting, will be vital abroad.
We trust. therefore that if Ambassador Debuchi
is replaced at washington. it will not be by two
sword nilitary-minded swashbuckler of the take-it
or-leave-it type.
This we hope because we realize fully the value of,
and sincerely desire, the maximum friendship be-
tween Japan and the United States.
