When playing 6 contract of three no trump, 1t IS almost automatic for the declarer to look for the trick or two needed to fulfill his contract by establishing the long est suit either in his own hand or dummy. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and in no trump, where the only shoppers of the run of a long suit by the defenders are the honors in that suit, held in the closed hand or dummy and the question of suit establishment then Is merely 6 question of which can establish their long suit tricks first the declarer or the defending players.

Why Not Apply Neutrality
Law to japan and China?

To the Editor OF The Star:
Why does our Government hesitate to
apply the neutrality law to the Sino-
Japanese conflict? Is it afraid Of Japan?
To say that just because the two COM
batant nations have not declared war the
hostilities have not reached a stage
where they constitute q state of war, Is
more than absurd. If this Is not war
what is it?
We have applied the neutrality act to
Italy and Ethiopia and to the Spanish
loyalists and fascists. The law seemed to
be dead as soon as Japan and China
opened hostilities. Is 1t our Governments
intention to discriminate against Italy
and Ethiopia and the Spanish factions
and in favor OF China and Japan? II
so, why? There must be q clear ex-
PLANTATION.
1t is past strange that this law, which
was adopted with such enthusiasm and
such great hopes, should now suddenly
be pushed into the background-perhap
to limbo. If the Government does not
want the law any more it should frankly
say so, and seek It's abolition at the next
session Of Congress. But as long as 1t Is
on the book, it must be enforced. Ger
tainly the President cannot close his
eyes to the growing intensity and vast
ness of the war which is now raging at
two or three fronts in China.

The Long Arm Falls.

While there are doubtless numerous
fugitives from justice now in hiding here
and there, the chances Of man who
is wanted" escaping altogether from
the grip of the law are small. However
cleverly he may disguise himself,
change his mode of life, evade attention
and perhaps remove himself to a dis
tance, he is pursued and is usually found.
The methods Of identification have been
SO greatly improved that unless the
agents of the law are themselves CO.
operative he is eventually recognized and
taken for trial and punishment. This
has just been demonstrated In the CAP
ture in New York of Joseph Bruno, who
seven months ago walked out OF a Jail
in Pennsylvania where he was confined
while awaiting transfer to the State
penitentiary under 4 sentence Of life
imprisonment for murder. His crime
was participation in the staying of nve

to diminish its force. While making
every effort in it's power to alleviate the
hardships and the suffering OF those
who unfortunately have been caught in
the maelstrom of the fighting between
China and Japan, the Government is
also paying close attention to the mate
rial losses incurred and at the same
time is attempting to keep normal bus-
ness and commerce from being disrupted
to any greater extent than necessary,
Farm legislation which promises to be
an issue OF supreme importance at the
next session of Congress, whether it be
at the regular gathering or at a special
assembling Of the legislative body which
President Roosevelt may call. will revive
many OF the questions which have re-
volved around the problem of govern
mental control of farm products and
production, and how far it may be car
rled. There will be much discussion as
to the ccnstitutionality of measures to
be adopted in this connection. Between
now and the time Congress reassembles
much study will be given to the problem,
both by members of that body and by
outside agencies, farm organizations and
special groups interested in the matter.
Through contacts which members will
have made in their home districts, mean
while, they will have come to know the
mind and the desires of the farmers
themselves as to the sort OF legislation
they wanted enacted. This study will be
guiding influence as to the character of
farm legislation to be adopted at the
next session.
Whether the Forestry Service shall
remain in the Department of Agriculture
or become branch of the Depa rtment
OF the Interior. which Secretary Ickes
desires to transform into Department
OF Conservation" did not come up as
new question when 1t was recently raised
In connection with discussion of gov
ernmental reorganization. Sporadic but
unavailing efforts have been made for
many years to have the Forestry Service
transferred to the latter department, on
the ground that because of the national
park and other functions which come
under the supervision of the Interior
Department, it could be managed more
efficiently under that jurisdiction. The
close connection of tree culture and de-
velopment to agricultural problems, how
ever, and the view that it linked in more
extensively and more closely with the
work OF the Department OF Agriculture,
has always been an argument advanced
IN favor Of retaining it in its present
position.

PartitiOnists Lead.

Sentiment in favor of partitioning
Palestine as proposed in the report OF
the British Royal Commission appears
to be gaining as evidenced by the de-
bates of the Jewish Agency for Palestine
at Zurich on the proposal for negotiation
with the British government toward such
an objective.
1t Is not to be inferred from the action
OF the World Zionist Congress recently
held IN Geneva that world Jewry is dis
posed to accept the boundaries as sug-
gested in the report of the Royal Com
mission, but the principle of partition is
undoubtedly gaining in favor while the
plan Of Felix M. Warburg and DR.. Judah
L. Magnes for federation of the Jewish
and Arab populations in single state
languishes,
The recommendation for division OF
Palestine into independent Jewish and
Arab states and q new mandate, wherein
Britain would guard the holy places for
all religions, was arrived at as the best
expedient for solving the recurring dis
orders between the two nationalitles.
Significantly, too, the plan is consonant
with British imperial interests.
1t is difficult to discern how the crea-
ton of three new boundary lines within
territory which already is in economic
straits is going to help the prosperity of
the inhabitants. Rather is it to be sup
posed that federation of the two national
groups into single bi-national state
would strengthen each.
Reconciliation of hostile nationalities
within single boundary has been proved
possible more than once. The most
prominent example, of course, is Bel
gium, where the Flemings, in close racial
affinity with the Netherlands, have been
welded into workable unit with the
F,rancophile Walloons. Today both
groups enjoy full racial privileges within
the boundaries OF single country, in
spite Of virile separatst movements fos-
tered in part among the Flemings. They
have full choice of language in their
homes and schools and all government
publications are in Flemish and French.
Here are two peoples of most diverse
temperaments and traditions united for
a common destiny.
The Mandates Commission OF the
League, having met, has sent out it's re-
port to members of the League Council,
which is due to act upon partitioning in
October. Meanwhile, the Jewish Agency
for Palestine has approved a proposal
that Britain seek round table confer
ence with the Arabs on the question OF
partition or federation.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

First leaves are turning red on the
common harberries, heralding the begin
ming OF Autumn As an established fact, no
matter what the calendar says or does
not say.
1t is interesting to note such changes,
which are to be found everywhere in gar
dens or any place else where trees, plants
shrubs grow.
One turning leaf on a bush will be
enough.
Just as one swallow does not make q
Summer, so one red leaf does not make
an Autumn. but 1t does show that the
season is definitely on it's way.
There is real pleasure in seeing such
things long before they come to the
notice of the majority.
Everybody speaks of the beauty OF Au-
tumn leaves later on.
Why not see the beginning?
II nothing more is gained from this
observation than to call the attention
again to one OF the best Of our shrubs, it
will have been very much worth while,
for there are few plants better than the
barberry.
1t has been penalized, in the minds OF
some. because Of its very goodness, in
cluding its resistance to the evils of this
world
Resistance!
For plant or man, it Is wonderful
thing. 1t means that all the arrows and
sings OF outrageous fortune miss their
mark, to some extent, no matter how
hard they hit.
Common fellows do not understand
this. They think in their conceit, as they
look out from their little pig eyes "a SLAM
der on the pigs, that their blows will
compel weakening.
They forget resistance.
1t is mighty quality, man or beast, or

Only various species of thorn are bet

latter does not show its "stickers" very
much, and hence these often come as a

ignorance, try to get through or over
them.
Common barberry has one OF the most
picturesque cycles of any plant.
1t holds its leaves long past most
shrubs. In favored locations most speci-
mems manage to keep almost all their

Barberry is almost the first thing to

Even when the leaves do not stick
altogether, there are enough OF them
left to do a good job in a foundation

AS common as barberry is, 1t is much
better In such work than some of the

out IN time to make a noble group, but
Will never go too high, as so many OF the
cheaper evergreens.
So few insects and blights attack this
shrub that the owner need not bother
about them, but may feel confident that
here is one thing which will need neither
spraying nor fertilizing
Surely 1t is a good thing to have
something IN the garden and home
grounds in general which demands no
care.
One OF the salient characteristics of
modern gardening is that of excessive
care.
1t seems as if gardening today, on small
or large scale, sometimes demands care
out of all proportion
In the old days gardening made no
such demands of its advocates as it does
today. Seeds or plants were put into the
ground, and they Just grew" Not only
was the soil more fertile, but especially
there were no such batteries Of insect
pests and rusts, fungi and other spots
to attack ornamental plants.
Cultivated plants. in many instances,
have lost their resistance
Barberry is not one of them 1t has
plenty OF resistance, and is able to laugh
at all attacks made upon it.
1t is plant which enjoys life in all of
its changes. If the gardener notes these
changes as they occur. when they occur,
he will enjoy happy gardening.
