Now partner, with the queen and

better not to support your spade
bid, because you have only six
trumps between you. Therefore. he
should bid three diamonds over your
bid of one spade.
In not going to no trump, partner

either to support the heart suit or.
if you have the club suit, to 90 to

against the republic Of France for
falling to meet her last debt pay

called for enactment Of Senator Hi
ram Johnson's bill to prohibit de-
faulting nations from selling their

nifty said the Hoosier senator.
France and other defaulters have
placed themselves in this category in
world opinion
France Called Worst
Indeed, the behavior of France
is far worse than that of any other
nation, for she freely admitted her
capacity to pay, and at the same
moment when she violated her OBJ
legation to the United States. had
one audacity to extend credit to
Austria in sum practically as
great as the installment due the
United States which she had re-
fused to pay
The international bankers said
Senator Robinson, continue cease
lessly to spread the propaganda
that these debts should be can
celled for the good of Europe and
transferred to the backs of our own
oVerburdened people.
"Of course, they have a selfish
interest in the matter They have
loaned hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars privately to these governments
and their people, and they believe
their chances for receiving pay
ment Of these private loans will be
enhanced if the taxpayers of Amer
lea can be sacrificed.
"Money Their God"
Not only that, but these same
organized financial interests in this
country are the largest holders of
the taX-eXempt bonds of the United
States, so they void gather in the
gold, going or coming.
Money S their GOO, and regard
less Of the TACT that our people are
taxed to death, these financial
despots continue to apply the lash"
One thing is certain" said the
senator, The republic of France is
entitled to no consideration from
us. The paltry amount of the de-
1aulted installment due us is only a
fraction of | per cent of her ma
tional income nor more than per
cent of her annual budget and per-
haps not more than 7 per cent of
the amount she spends annually for
armaments.
In fact, she Authorized the con-
struction Of one warship in the last
few days, the cost of which will run
to more than six million dollars
above the defaultcd lnstallment of

cause the broadcasting band
was crammed full Ga stations, has been
removed and about a dozen newcomers
will be invited into the charmed broad
casting circle.
The commission has opened a new
band of wave lengths for hroadcasting
stations, but under rigid experimental
limitations. The band between 1900
and 1900 kilocycles, lying just above
the present broadcast band, has been
thrown open to qualified applicants
for new stations.
The way for this action was paved
at the North American Radio Con-
ference at Mexico City last Summer
Then the nations Of the continent
agreed that the broadcast band should
be enlarged to make available addi-
tional facilities.
Others Shifted.
Ship, aviation, mobile and expert
mental services occupying this band
have been shifted to other portions
of the spectrum, and the l00-kilo-
cycle range was designated by the
commission as general communi-
cations band Canada, Mexico, Cuba
and other nations also have the right
to assign stations in the band, pro-
vided power is sufficiently low not to
cause interference with stations in
other countries.
The commission now has issued
regulations specifying that stations
may be assigned to this band for
commercial broadcasting, provided
they adhere to strict instructions
governing their use. Three new
channels-1,530, 1,54O and 1870 kilo-
cycles-are made available for broad
casting, with power limited to 1000
watts. Hearings will be held before
the commission ON applications for
assignments in this band. After GER
tain prerequisites are met, the COM
mission will assign stations on the
band. Unquestionably there will be
a deluge of petitions for the right to
use these channels.
