NEW YORK, January 29-"The four

champions were accused of plagiarism
today by George Reith, vice president
of the United States Bridge Association
and chairman of the Card Committee
of the Knickerbocker Whist Club.
Far from being new system, as
averred by Oswald Jaooby after he,
David Burnstine, Richard L. Frey,
Michael T. Gottheb and Howard
Schenken won the recent champion
ships of the United States Bridge Asso-
citation, their methods, said Reith, are
his and five years old.
Culbertson Is for the novice and Sims
for the smart aleck, in Reiths opinion.
but the finest players use Reith, he says,
and there is no short cut to mastery of
the game.
Il thoroughly approve Of all the
tactics used by these fine players" said
Reith, referring to Jacoby and asso-
ciates. why should I not? As read
their synopsis I seemed to see again
extracts from the pages of the 1929
edition of my own book.
Certainly every detail Of their pub
lished tactics conforms exactly with the
1888 version Of Reith's one-over-one
system.
Though my own experience makes
me doubt that these methods will ever
become popular, even though plagiarized
as their own and publicized by this
group of fine players, am. nevertheless,
pleased to fnd them publicly advocated,
even though in doing so the fact Is
ignored that they have appeared in my
writing fer hye years.

But it will mean revision OF the
1903 treaty Of peace with Cuba and
approval by the United States Senate
as well as a Cuban constitutional con-
vention. That will take more than six
months and by that time our exaspera-
ton may be quieted and We may be
thinking more about American invest
ments in Cuba.
Meanwhile, the talk has a whole
some effect in Latin America, where
we are trying to negotiate trade

Sugar Plan to Be Revived.
A sugar phenagler in the farm ad-
ministration had his grips packed a
few days ago for a trip into the beet
belt He was going to try to arouse
the farmers in favor of revival of the
| sugar plan.
Word came to him from above to call
of the trip. The inside explanation is
that Mr.. Roosevelt does not want such
a campaign now.
Nevertheless the sugar plan is 90
ing to be repiped. Arrangements
already are being made. The heauy
sugar daddies OF the large refneries
and importers started assembling
here about 1reek ago.
The next move probably will come
softly from Chairman Jones of the
House Agriculture Committee. He will
try to get legislation, making cattle a
basic commodity so q processing tax
can be put on 1t. The sugar boys
will chime in with their product so 1t
also will become eligible for the proc
essing tax. That will afford the basis
for the new plan.
Installation of Mendieta in Cuba
means she will go along readily with
the idea this time.
Financing Not Conclusive.
There was an excess Of ballyhoo
about the success of the Treasury
financing, but 1t really did not mean

This view. he declared he was glad

Neat Inside Job Done
By u. S. in Forcing
Cuban Change.
BY PAUL MALLON.


A RATHER neat inside Job was
n done by our diplomats in get
II ting Cuba Strengthened out
1 \ It was so neat that not a
fingerprint was left. Histor-
ians will not be able to detect that
we ever had hand in 1t.
The fact Is that Messrs. Roosevelt.
Caffery and Welles used silk gloves and
a little headwork on Cuba for the first
time. They also used guns, but in a
very delicate, inoffensive way. They
merely filled Havana harbor with war
ships, nonchalantly pointing the guns
in the direction they wanted things to
go and things suddenly went that way,
without firing . shot.
Called Put-up Job.
The inexpIcable sudden shift from
Grau to Hevia to Mendieta was a
put-up Job.
Mendieta was the man we wanted
in the presidency in the first place,
not because Mr.. Roosevelt likes Men
dieta, but because he Is about the only
available candidate with the ability
necessary to maintain a stable govern
ment. Months ago former Ambassa-
dor Welles tried to put Mendieta in
Office. but failed by direct methods.
So strategy was tried.
