AUSTRIAN NAz|S
GAIN UNDER PACT
independence Supporters
Are Fearful of Fate, but
Trade Picks Up.
BY HENRY A. DIEZ.

VIENNA.-One year ago Austria
and Germany ended \ three year
period OF pointed unfriendliness by
signing q pact Of peace. The Austrian
chancellor, Dr. Kurt Won Schuschnigg,
hesitated long before be consented to
this accord, but Premier Benito
Mussolini, wishing to close the gap
in his Rome-Berlin axis, insisted, and
Reichfuehrer Adolf Hitler made the
important concession of formal recog-
milton Of Austria's full sovereignty,
declaring Austria "the second German
state"
The results OF this new pact have
not been very encouraging, but it
produced some benefits which cannot
be denied. Austria's trade balance,
for instance, has profited from the
new possibilities the pact opened.
The chief obstacle to 4 real under
standing are the Austrian Nazis.
They demand union with Germany
at any price and oppose all political
agreements that delay it. Since they
cannot rebel against a pact ap-
proved by Hitler, whom they conside,
their real leader, they do what they
can to makeS things difficult for
Schuschnigg and demand an ade-
quate share In the administration
OF the country. They speak OF "paci-
fication," but their ultimate aim Il
the Nazificatio OF Austria.
Caution Practiced.
Under the new regime OF German
friendship the Austrian government
cannot resist. its Nazs as relentlessly
as 1t did before the July accord
After all, they are Hitler's best
friends on this side OF the border
and through the accord Hitler has
formally at least-become 4 friend
OF Schuschnigg One must be care
ful in ones dealings with the friends
OF ones friend.
This Is the weakest point in the
whole scheme, for the average Aus
trian does not understand why the

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
Qualified Force.

Evening star., 1937-08-08


IN ADDITION to the clubs car
ried by the.every-day golfer. the
real expert carries one left-hand-
L ed club for use in occasional emer-
gencies and Is proficient enough In
its use to hit the ball from the port
side almost as we'll as from the reg
ular side. II an ordinary player. on
the other hand, tried to hit with
left-handed club he would undoubt-
edly either miss the ball entirely or
get into worse trouble.
The qualified force in contract cor
responds to this left-handed golf
club. The really advanced player
who has practiced 1t can use 1t with
success. The ordinary player, trying
1t for the first time, Is likely to get
into trouble. And while we have
discussed it We recommend that aver
age players stick to bids that are
either forcing or not and do not
bother with this particular example.
THE qualified force is a bid which
theoretically commands partner
to bid again and continue on to game;
but in the event that partner has pre-
viously given misinformation concern
ing the strength Of his hand, he is
able to reason that the combined
hands can produce no game and may
therefore pass.
For example, let us suppose you
open in third or fourth position with
hand that is not really worth a bid
hoping to obtain partial score. Now
your partner responds either with a
temporary forcing bid in q new suit
or a game-forcing jump to two no
trump or three in your suit. II YOU
have a bona f1de bid-no matter how
meager-you should respect his force
But suppose your opening bid in third
position has been one club, holding:
Spades Xxx
Hearts xxx
Diamonds xxx
Clubs AKJxx
Your partner has passed originally:
hence, irrespective OF what he has
passed, the chance that you and he
can make game is practically zero.
II you bid again, he will mark YOU
with normal opening bid. and in
the event tht his pass has been i.
maximum he is likely to take YOU
right to game. whereupon you will
go down instead Of making a partial
score. Accordingly. you pass.
However, suppose your hand Is a
little better, and in addition to the
nVe clubs to the ace king lack you
have king. Now you have a proper
opening one-club bid and hence must
bid again after your partners ouali-
fed force.
on, LET us take another ease. Your
partner opens the bidding with
one spade. You hold:
Spades,-
Hearts, xxx
Diamonds, Kxxxxx
Clubs, xxx
You really should pass your part
ners opening bid of one spade, but in
stead you bid two diamonds hoping to
improve matters. Now he jumps to
Evening star., 1937-08-08

three spades. He thinks be Is forcing
you. But now you say to yourself: II
should have passed his one-spade bid.
Not only is my hand practically WORTH
less, but have no spades at all. II /
continue on. we will get to game or a
slam and probably be doubled. II my
partner has strong enough spade
hand to make game with my holding,
he would have opened with a two bid.
I had better pass now before we are in
too deep"
Accordingly. the Jump rebid to three
spades was really only qualified force.
The player making it thought he was
forcing, but the partner, who should
not have responded to one spade in
the first place, was privileged to paSs
three spades.
However, il you have 4 proper re-
sponse, such as
Spades,
Hearts, xxx
Diamonds, KQxxxx
Clubs, xxx
even though it is very weak. you
should not pass your partners Jump to
three spades. and with this particular
hand should rebid to four diamonds
Incidentally, 1t will be noted that we
recommend rebid to four diamonds,
not to three no trump, the reason being
that with a weak hand the most i'm
portant thing to do is to show your
distribution If you can.
SUMMARIZING: The qualified force
occurs when player makes a bid
which he believes Is forcing, but the
partner, whose last bid was definitely
not warranted by the cards In his
hand, now decides to pass for strategic
reasons.

What Other
Editors Say
END THIS FOOLISHNESS-NOV
(San Rafael independently

tSan Rafael independently
Radical labor learders and agita-
tors are striking anew at the very
lifeblood of the nation-its farms.
After months of enforced quiet-it
would serve no purpose to foment
trouble when there are no crops to
harvest, agitators are attempting to
create a wholly american sys-
tenn of espionage and blockade in
the fruit belt of Contra Costa, Yolo
and Solano counties where an april
cot crop worth many millions of
dollars is ready for the harvest.
There is no dispute between fruit
pickerS and packers and the grow
ers. There is no issue of wages hours
or other considerations. Two rival
labor groups are battling for su-
premacy and the fruit growers are
forced to stand on the side lines
and look on while rival leaders ar
que and fight and the cots grow
over-ripe on the trees and then fall
on the ground to rot.
Such a condition should not exist
and if there were more authorities
throughout the country like Yolo
county's sheriff, situations like this
would not be tolerated. Yolo county
has an anti-picketing ordinance
something like that which was re-
Gently made effective in Marin
county and at the first sign of
trouble, Sheriff Monroe invoked
the full authority of his office under
that ordinance to arrest the trouble
makers.
Nipping such situations in the
bud as did Yolo's sheriff, "scotching
the snake" of discord and strife at
the very outset, will do much to
prevent irreparable losses for the
innocent victims of inter- union
quarrels. Had a higher state and
federal authority taken similar ac-
ton in the east many months ago
the conditions which now threaten
civil war in the nations great in
dustrial areas would not have got
ten out of hand as they have.
For such eventualities the rank
and file of the laboring men are not
to be held responsible excepting as
they have permitted themselves to
be sWayed, their conduct dictated
by group of well-paid, professional
leaders, men whose continued auth
ority, whose very livelihood depend
upon their being kept busy and for
them, being kept busy" is synony-
nous with keeping strife rampant
between employer and employe.
1t is to be hoped the apricot
orchards strike will not lead to a
repetition of the Salinas and Stock
ton affairs, but if it must, and if
public conscience can be aroused OF
the gravity of the situation to the
end that law and order and proper
decorum may be brought about
it might be worth while. Better
have showdown, a total loss for
one season, than to prolong the
ultimate ruination over a period OF
years.

4 GOOD TEXTBOOK FOR
CITIZENSHIP EXAMINES g

1t would be good thing if every per
son in this country connected in an Off
elal way with examinations for citizen
ship could receive a transcript of the
policy expressed by Superior Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson of Imperial county
recently, during an examination of can
dldates for American citizenship. Moth
ing has come to our attention for a long
time that so fully expresses those ideals
upon which American freedom is built.
1T is my purpose not to grant citizen
ship to any person who has any connec-
ton with or belief in any ism as opposed
TO true Amerlcanism," Judge Thompson
said bluntly.
Behind that brief statement there is
logic that cannot successfully be refuted
Unfortunately, it is logic that has not
penetrated to the minds of many now
high in official life
American citizenship is a blessing be-
slowed by this nation on those thought
to be worthy of it. 1t is not something
to be handed out hit or miss to persons
whose beliefs and ambitions are bound
up with another form of government, or
who would like TO see the American way
replaced with something else. 1t is some
thing reserved for those who believe with
out reservation that life is best in the
United States, and who want to take ad-
vantage of that life to the fullest by
accepting the duties and privileges of
citizenship. 1t should not be given to
any others.
No one can logically quarrel with a
doctrine which prohibits the granting of
citizenship to those whose beliefs and
actions seek to make that citizenship
worthless.
Citizenship in the United States should
be received for those who believe that the
United States government is the highest
form of government yet conceived and
put into practice. This does not mean
closing the doors against those who be-
lieve that the American way can be i'm
proved for nothing is so perfect that it
does not allow of improvement. 1t does
mean, however, barring from citizenship
those who would, if they could, substitute
Communism or Hitlerism or Fascism for
Americanism. We have seen these things
work, and we know that they do not offer
the freedom and the prosperity found
under our own government.
Citizenship in the United States is a
precious thing. 1t should be guarded
against destruction, and the best guardi-
ans are those men who, like Judge
Thompson, have the power to grant or
deny citizenship to aliens residing here.

in China, Ethiopia, and Spain, and
the exact date of the next vast
upheaval seems to depend only upon
how far national "honor" can oe
stretched before it cracks.
The peculiar relation between the
archduke's assassination and the
Treaty of Versailles is that the
treaty, however Realistically con-
ceived, actually perpetuated the
germ of war.
1t created a group of winners and
group of losers. And then it
sought to keep them on that basis
permanently, if possible. Ger
many, which lost the war, and Italy,
which felt that it was cheated of
its share Of the war spoils, Illus
trate how the sullen dissatisfaction
of being a loser has swung the tide
again toward conflict.
So, in fact, properly there should
not be any ebullient clamor over
the ghost Of Serajevo or the wien
ed form of the Treaty of Versailles.
Both are monuments to the fallacy
that might is right, and their val
ue will lie alone in their example
of what nations ought not to do.
No petty points of moralizing are
involved. These are realistic warn
ings. And they are just as much
for America as for Europe, because
the pendulum is swinging back
heavily toward a gigantic conflict
of arms.
1t may not be long before one
set of "allies" or the other again
trumpets the transatlantic call for
help-"in the name Of humanity"
And when that time comes, the
United States should be listening
wisely, but not too well.
