incidentally, as in the hand shown
yesterday, we approve heartily of the

defeated does not mean that it should
not have been bid. Without a heart
opening it would have been cold, while
even with heart opening declarer
still would make it If the club flnesse
should happen to 60.
While most players holding a bust
such as the West hand would give up
automatically, Mr.. Maier likes to keep
trying at all times. Accordingly, he
thought things over and reasoned as
follows:
The opponents diamonds would
be solid. They would probably have
control of spades. but there would be
one chance of beating the contract
namely, if his partner held club
stopper and the king Of hearts. How
ever, in order to do this it would be
necessary for Mr.. Maier to open the
hearts Immediately before his part
ner's club stopper should be knocked
out.
/, Mr.. Maier boldly led away from the
queen Of hearts. East's king forced
declarer's ace, and later, when East
got in with the king Of clubs, he re-
turned = heart, thereby setting the
contract one trick.

MT. Moley's Ideas

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The latest sage to quarrel with the adminstra- tions foreign policy resated at Chicago by the President is MT Raymond Moey once the original bran-truster and self-appointed critic of the Secretary of State whom he served badly at Wash ington. While he was Assistant Secretary of State MT. Moley did all that he could, by subverting the authority of his chief to undermine the excellent work Mir Hull was attempting to do Eventually Sec retary Hull won that feud and sent MT. Moley back to private life.
 Now MT Moley contends that Americas foreign policy has been reversed and that the nation should adjust it's domestic problems before engaging in a vigorous foreign policy There two fundamental errors here. American foreign policy not re- versed at Chicago. It remains what it has been through the years particularly with reference to the Far East.
 The other mistake is to suppose that great nation cannot have domestic policy and foreign policy at the time It should be obvious that the very existence of the State Department there should be continuous foreign policy to serve national inter- ests It does not need to be put on ice while domestic problems are dealt with
 MT. Moley is right in contending that the gov- ernment has failed to bring about genuine economic expansion by negectng to facilitate private enter prise in low-cost residential building. Every thought ful citizen realizes this is And MT. Moley should be thanked for reemphaszing the fact But that has nothing whatever to do with the development of a revalized foreign policy to cope with growing peris in Europe and the Far East
 But perhaps it is too much to expect MT. Moley to acquiesce in the foreign policy of Mir Roosevelt and MT. Hull He struggled for the notion of an iso- lated America while he at Washington and he unhappy in the State Department for that Like some others he is angry with foreign policy which recognizes tremendous stake in peaceful world and seeks to influence the drift of world poi tics But however angry he may be, he should not expect all of to the fanciful connection he has alleged between low-cost housing and role in the Far East!

Macdonald often reused bitter resentment among sections of his followers. It said that he lacked humor rubbed his opponents the wrong way and Icouldn't laugh at himself.
 There was nothing of the hale and hearty labor ite about him, and few called him Mac" He came to be in manner like the traditional conservative statesman perfectly spoken and perfectly attred in parliament and always dignified.

 During his early days in parliament Mcdonald wore flaming cravat and Known the Apostle of the Red Tie" His appearance toned and mellowed with the years to that of the acceptable statesman and his critics charged him with surrendering his principles. st
 But short cut to the promised land was ever held out by Macdonald. He could for himself for his children and his chdrens children only the hard road of continuous to with occasional hearten ing beacons along the route. He compared himself to of those coral insects which build and build until the structure is complete He held always that evolution not revolution be the for erasing social injustices

The Republican Opposition
(New York Times)

(New York Times
 In his Boston address MT Hoover insisted that strong opposition party is essential part of the democratic system and argued that agreement as to constructive convictions and positive purposes is necessary if such party is to exist On both points the evidence of experience is with him. The demo- cratic system functions at its best only when the party office faces an opposition powerful enough and alert enough to hold it to account for its mis- takes. And opposition which is merely negative and serving is in position to be effective.
 The question is what constructive convictions and what positive purposes" will lift the Republican party out of attitude of negatvism and widen its opportunities for public service MT. Hoover rightly says that the details of any program which may be agreed upon unimportant Yet it is clear that there must be something to such program than very broad and very general statements about prosperity and personal liberties and sound Govern ment finance, if the program is to have real meaning for the electorate
 The situation can be illustrated by considering a single important issue-the tariff. Here, plainly, is something much more than detail" of party policy. Here is really fundamental question and a fundamental choice: Is the United States to lower it's tariffs in order to permit foreign nations to sell more of their goods in markets and by this means acquire dollars which be used for the purchase of those of goods which best fitted to produce cheaply and in abundance? Or to maintain our tariffs at their present high levels, and in this attempt to solve the inevitable prob lem of our surplus production (of cotton for ex- ample) by means of some such device as crop con- trol" price stabilization?"
 The Republican party is in inconsistent posi- tion when in breath it vigorously denounces Sec retary Huls trade treaties and in the next breath vigorously denounces the "regmentation' which fol- lows logically from effort to solve economic prob- lems on the basissof narrow and exclusive national ism And it is inconsistencies of this kind which the party must iron before it can really offer the country program of positive purposes fand 'con- istructive convictions"

RAMSAY MACDONALD

Another international figure has passed in the death of Ramsay Macdonald, three times Prime Min ster of England.
 While Macdonald was lifelong pacifist and summed the world like a scourge it was his fate to take leading part in healing its terrible wounds. His idealsm of the League of Nations ap- preached that of Woodrow Wilson.

He played important roles in developing Anglo-American re- lations and made London a center for conciliation efforts He unqualifedy supported President Hoovers 1s31 proposal for moratorium governmental debts and expanded it within the empire by offering similar postponement of the obligations of all the dominions to the mother country.
 In 1924 he presided at the London conference which put the Dawes plan into effect and at it's close German and French envoys shook hands for the first time since 1914 In 1930 he presided at three great conferences in London, the five-power naval gathering the British imperial conference and the first round table conference India. - Macdonald was consistent believer in the Wilson formula of open covenants openly arrived at" He attributed the world war to secret diplomacy and the theory of balance of European power.

 MacDonads friends always maintained that with his elevation to power in 1924 cooperation and good will substituted for pickering force the nyotivating ideas of international relationships. Upon the belief that true happiness consists in the fewness of human wants and not in the wealth of possessions, Ramsay Macdonald based his phoso- piiy of life Dour. somber aloof he lacked many of the qualities of idolized leader of democracy made up for this by his determination fighting spirit Aealism and superior intellectual powers.
