DEBTS EXTENSION
URGED BY LEADERS
Sloan Committee Asks Re-
adjustment After
Study.
ax the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 14.-An ex-
tension of the moratorium on inter-
national debt payments and "reconsid-
Grafton and readjustment of the inter-
governmental debt-funding agreements"
are urged in a report made public to-
day by the Committee for the Consid-
Grafton Of intergovernmental debts.
The committee Is headed by Alfred
P. Sloan, jr., president of the General
Motors Corporation.
The report was drawn up by group
of outstanding economists.
said, by 81 business, farm and labor
leaders, including Alfred z. Smith, for
mer New York Governor; Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University; George w. Wickersham,
former Attorney General, and James
M. Cox, former Governor of Ohio.
Great Benefits Seen.
"a reasonable readjustment Of inter-
governmental debts" the report said,
promises far greater material benefits
to the American people than the direct
income which would be received If pay
ment could be made in full"
Pointing out that an increase Of one
per cent in the Nations annual income
would amount to more than twice the
current annual debt payments, the econ
omistS maintain that "a readjustment
of these debts in the light of present
world conditions, suited both to the
capacity of our debtors to pay and to
our ability to receive-especially if it
involved favorable concessions to Amer
lean trade-would go far toward the
stimulation of worldwide and American
economic recovery"
Employment and the earnings Of
American labor would be increased" J"
the report continues "The profits of
agriculture and industry would expand.
Security Of private American in
vestments in European countries and
of foreign bonds now held by American
investors would be strengthened.
Furthermore. through this improve
ment In business, tax revenues would
automatically increase, while the burden
of taxation upon the people would be
reduced"
Conclusions Reached.
The report concludes as follows:
"A realization of the consequences
to American well being of excessive
demands upon our debtors makes a
reconsideration of existing debt agree
ments necessary.
by sensible readjustment of these
agreements which would stimulate re-
vival of business. the American people
would stand to gain far more in dollars
and cents through revival Of trade
with Europe than they would gain in
an attempt to collect the last dollar"
The reports three recommendations
are:
a. That the elected representatives
of the American people recognize this
vital and delicate problem as a nom
partisan issue to be settled strictly on its
merits in the best interests of the
United States.
%. That Congress authorize, by the
recreation of the World War Foreign
Debt Commission or otherwise, such re-
consideration and readjustment of the
debt-funding agreements as would best
advance the interests of American trade
and promote American prosperity.
"3. That Congress extend the mora
torium for sufficient period to give
time for these negotiations"

spot for the jack. twelve spot for the queen, thirteen spot for the king and a fourteen spot for the ace. Now select 13 cards from one suit of a deck and lay them out on the table in their ranking or- queen and jack the fourteen, thirteen, twelve and eleven spots respectively. Now select any small card and subtract 1t from the highest card the fourteen spot. If you had selected the five, you will now find, after deducting five from fourteen, that there are nine cards higher than the five spot in every suit.
 As the card is always the fourth best. the leader therefore holds three of these nine cards. so in- stead of saying five from fourteen leaves nine and the three the lead- CT holds. from nine leaves six. we shorten the procedure by deduct ing the three cards held by the leader from fourteen and arrive at the constant figure of eleven. and leave the leader out of our calculation.
 Now. for practice. take the thirteen cards of the suit you are using and deal them out in four hands-in any distribution you care to. making sure that the opening leader always has at least four cards. Lead the fourth best, look at the dummy. look at either of the other two closed hands and see if you can tell how many cards higher than the card led. are in the other closed hand. Practice this until you are thor oughly familiar with tte working of the rule of eleven.
 It is very seldom that a card higher than the eight spot is ever led in the rule of eleven. When the nine spot is your fourth best card, you invariably hold an honor com bination that should be led in preference to the fourth best.

BY VIM E. MCKINNEY Secretary, American Bridge League


 One of the first and most im- portant plays in bridge that must be fully mastered by every bridge this and in the next two articles We will explain 1t in detail. It is not long after taking up bridge that we ,our longest and strongest suit Few lead is all about or know how to read 1t when made by partner or an opponent. -&
 The rule of eleven Is mathe- nautical method which, when the correct deductions are made. may be your only means of defeating the opponents contract. and as the same information is available to the declarer. it may work out to his advantage.
 The rule of eleven requires that the card led by the fourth best of the suit led. For example. if you held Q-10-S-5-2, and that was the suit you had selected to open, the five spot should be led. The numeral of the card led should be subtracted from eleven. In this case five from eleven leaves six. The result will tell you the number of cards higher than the, card led that are in the hands of ffthe three players other than the leader.
 Using the example above if dummy now held K-9-6 and you, as partner of the leader. held A-J- 2. you would now say five from eleven leaves six. As there are three cards in the dummy higher than the five spot, and as your hahd contains three higher, you would now know that the declarer held no card higher than the five. If dummy played the six, you would play the seven which would hold the. trick. If he played the nine, you would win the trick with the jack. while If he played the king, you would take 1t with the ace.
 The mathematical principal of the rule of eleven is as follows:
 Cards in reality begin with the two spot = there is no one spot. Now let us substitute an eleven
