sibly one in Los Angeles. At
present there is no satisfactory
base between Puget Sound and
San Diego.
Congress is very likely to tack
on also some extra-budgetary
money for both army and navy
aviation with view to- protect
ing all borders against estab-
lishment of bombing air bases
on nearby foreign soil.
While these last two moves
may not be sponsored by the
President, officially, they will
not be vetoed when they get to
him.
CONSIDERATIONS leading up
" to these conclusions are be-
ing outlined privately by an Ad-
ministration lieutenant, who
says the country and the news
papers do not seem to appre-
ciate what has happened to the
world in the past 80 days. In
accordance with Washington
custom, he processes to be ex-
planning only his own personal
views, like this:
Japan has China. That is
settled. The Japanese now will
proceed to work up the resources
of that vast conquered empire
for their own development. In
a few years this should make
Japan a world power Of twice
her present Importance. 1t IS
inconceivable that she will be
able to arm and militarize the
Chinese hordes, with pay, for
her future purposes.
"While Japan will be busy in
China for the next few years, her
allies, Italy and Germany are
already at work to find a foot
hold in South America. Those
nations down there are made
quately armed to defend them
selves against a major power.
We have allowed the Monroe
Doctrine to lapse by inactivity,
and our Latin-American rela-
tions have not been such as to
guarantee us protection in that
frontier. Mexico, for instance,
has not been very close to us in
late years.
With the growth of Japan and
her new alliance, it becomes
necessary for us, in the interest
of self defense to look beyond
the American borderline to safe
guard our country in the fu-
ture. s..,
6GTNREATIES are a thing of
l. the past. We must have
protection against the law Of
the jungle. That is the law
which prevails in the world to-
day.
"The day is gone when Amer
lean geographical isolation is a
protection against attack. Eng
land has had to move her
frontier because of aviation in
ventions, and SO must we.
But first we must combat
anti-preparedness propaganda
at home. It is beginning to
show UP in Congress in the
Ludlow resolution and in the
pulpit and in patriotic societies.
Protection these days lies in
strength. In protection and
strength there is peace"
You will hear these things
said officially and publicly in
Congress very shortly.

the narrowing journey.
Also held in technical custody
in juvenile hall was Mrs. Morgan.
Others who were on the lavishly
appointed yacht, which sailed out
of Los Angeles harbor on its fan
tastic cruise December 20, were
released by Omen as they came
ashore, but will be witnesses later
at any hearing which may grow
out of the case. They are Mrs.
Gertrude Turner, fiancee of the
slain Faulding; Mrs. Turner's g.
year-old son, Robert; and Miss
Elsie Berdan, a nurse, employed
by Morgan to look after his wife
on the cruise.
GRAND JURY PROBE
Federal officials said they plan
to lay the entire case, as one of
piracy, before a grand jury soon
after the first of the year.
With Faulding, the master and
owner, at the helm and with the
ship under charter to Morgan for
a two-day cruise to nearby
Catalina Island, the Aafje sailed
quietly out of this harbor late in
the afternoon of December 90.
Morgan chartered the yacht with
the excuse that his wife, in her
delicate condition, needed a sea
voyage.
Those aboard waved at people
on the dock. 1aulding was tall
and straight at the wheel, Morgan
surveyed the ship grimly; Mrs.
Turner and her young son
laughed gaily; Mrs. Morgan and
Miss Berdan, her nurse, also were
gay; the two crew members,
Spernak and Horne, bent to their
duties =,
The craft had been under sail
only three hours when Morgan
suddenly rushed at Faulding,
brandished a pistol, and called:
,C"Get away from that wheel;
I'm taking commando"
TRIED TO REASON
Faulding tried to reason with
the crazed Morgan. The latter,
without another word, opened fire.
His bullets rocked the ships
skipper, who fell in a heap at the
wheel dead.
The modern-day pirate then
herded the passengers and crew
into a cabin and, puncturing his
orders with his pistol, informed
them bluntly that he was master
of the ship now and anyone who
questioned his authority, or crossed
him, would die like Faulding.
There followed four days and
nights of horror. Morgan, every

'JAPAN'S TRADE
POLICY IN CHINA
AROUSES U. S.
Stern Warning Hinted
On "0pen Door"
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
(Copyright, 1937)

1.N.O 81 Lie OIllGcu OIdICo
Government will view in the
gravest light any attempt by
Japan to usurp it's rights of extra
territoriality or equality of Gus
toms treatment under the open
door" policy in China, Interna-
tional News Service learned today.
With relations still badly strained
and official irritation far from
eased as the result of Japan'S ruth
less bomb-destruction of the U. S.
gunboat Panay, any further in
reference by Nippon might well
provide the impetus for sterner
action than was taken, over the
Panay incident, it was privately
admitted.
CONCERN AROUSED
An attempt by Japan to dis
regard extra-territorial rights or
to swing shut China's "open door, "
would be regarded as a direct
breach of the sweeping guarantees
given by Tokyo in its apology for
bombing the Panay not henceforth
to interfere in any manner what
soever with American nationals,
rights or interests in all China.
The United States has made re-
peated and vigorous representa-,
tions to Japan over any move to
discriminate against foreign COM
merce by tampering in any way
with the international customs
machinery, and Japan has repeat
edly and blandly assured that
nothing of the sort would be done.
But American and other foreign
firms have complained Japan is
going right ahead landing it's COM
mercial goods duty free at the
Yangtzepoo, Kongkew and Poo
tung docks.
ALL ON SAME BASIS
Japan's treaty rights, State De-
partment officials point out, are
no more than any other nation,
despite the fact she is waging an
undeclared war on Chinese soil.
The International City at
Shanghai is owned and con.
trolled, and most of its functions
operated, by the treaty powers.
Thus, any encroachment or usur-
patton of rights by Japan on
American or other foreign inter
ests is not directed at China. but
at these specific nations.
Normally, when a war is being
waged on foreign soil, the occu-
pied areas are under military law.
But again, Government authori-
ties here declare, this rule cannot
apply in the case Of Japan where
ever foreign rights extend.
STILL IN EFFECT
This situation will exist so long
as the Chinese government, with
which the United States and other
powers have treaties, remains in
existence. Should Japan conquer
China, overthrow the Chinese gov
The Washington times., 1937-12-31
STILL IN EFFECT

This situation will exist so long
as the Chinese government, with
which the United States and other
powers have treaties, remains in
existence. Should Japan conquer
China, overthrow the Chinese gov
ernment and formally annex the
country, then, and only then,
would the treaties with China be
ended.

The first is that North believes game certain and a slam possi- ble, hence he has at least mild "fit" with clubs. He later assisted spades and rebid diamonds. South never raised diamonds and hearts were never bid.
 When East doubled. he was thus directing West to avoid a heart lead. A trump lead was out of the question. West studied the problem at length, ad then made the only lead which could defeat the contract, namely. his single ton club.
 East won the first trump trick with the ace and returned club to defeat the contract, not for the purpose of collecting an additional hundred points, but risking the making of c doubled contract by his opponents for the chance of defeating 1t if West chose the best opening lead.

However, there are many situa- tions in contract where a player must double for a penalty even this slight, as 1t appears to him the one chance of defeating an otherwise practically certain game or slam.
 In defending against slams, the Culbertson System uses Q lead die recting double. According to this system the third hand doubler asks his partner, who is to make the opening lead. not to make a normal lead but an unusual one.
 Totiay's hand is an example of the correct use of this convention. The bidding is interesting. North responded with two diamonds, al- though one would have been f0rc- ing over the one club.
