seen, for now pending in congress
are measures to toss relief back
into the states lap, to junk all
present agencies for new federal
unit, and take politics out of relief.
Workers Alliance is primarily inter-
ested in the latter.
Chief puzzle facing West Vir-
ginia's Rep. Clifton Woodrum and
his relief subcommittee is whether
reliefers should or can be denied
the right to organize for a patiently
political purpose. Already on rec
ord are several disturbing facts.
Samples:
~ Though David LASER denied
he is a Communist, most official
Washingtonians rate him distinctly
pinkish. Workers Alliance Secre-
tary-Treasurer Herman Benjamin
boosted to committeeman that he
has been a Communist for 20 years,
also that he reported personally to
Moscow last year on the Alliances
activities.
Il (2) Alliancers have threatened
and may some day exert pressure
on congress. When President
Roosevelt asked an 1915, 900, 900 de-
ficiency relief appropriation, the Al
lance asked 81, 000, 000, 900. Congress
coughed up $725, 000, 900. When the
White House asked restoration of
the $50, 000, 900 cut, Mr.. LASER
turned on heat and threatened to
ballot all reliefers on a protest march
to Washington.
Probable outcome viii not be an
attempt to dissolve the Alliance,
but a Fastening of back-to-the-states
Legislation in the hope that individ-
sualized relief setups win give the
union less chance for unified ma
tional front.

Politics
To stand a chance of winning
l940's presidential election, Repub-
licanism's two biggest jobs for 1889
are ~ stopping any premature
boom which might shatter party
unity, and (2) win support from
Democratic leaders who have aban-
doned the New Deal. These objec-
tives clash because few Democrats
will desert their traditional political
faction for nothing more stable than
the hope that a suitable candidate
can be found. But the G. 0. P. is
tackling both jobs with fingers
crossed: ~

SAFETY TALKS
Driving Ability

The National Safety council re-
a ports that automobile drivers
reach the peak of their skill and
ability after 20 years Of age.
Recent studies, said the council,
indicate that drivers under 20
years of age have the highest ac-
cident rate. This rate decreases
quite steadily to the age of about
so, and then increases sharply.

Balkan entente in which Bulgaria
will be q member.
Strategically located Rumania now
becomes the focal point, wooed des-
perately by democracies as the last
hope Of stopping solid dictator
front in southeast Europe, yet in
clined to conform with Nazi de-
mands on pain of invasion from
land-hungry Jugoslavia, Hungary
and Bulgaria.
Deeper in the Balkans, British
French alliances with Greece and
Turkey may meet similar fate.
Though expressing gratitude to the
democracies for guaranteeing her
integrity, Greece has announced she
seeks to remain on a friendly basis
with the Axis powers who now
threaten her entire northern front
via Albania, Jugoslavia and Bull
garia. Meanwhile Turkey has given
Germany contract to build her
$12,000,000 new naval base and
granted Lufthansa, German airline,
an operating concession.
With the Balkans apparently lost
to Naziism, Britain's last chance for
anything like a parity of European
power lies in the last-resort military
treaty with Russia, The unexpected
return to Berlin of Ambassador Sir
Neville Henderson has given rise to
belief that Britain may seek peace
with the Reich rather than accept
a Russian pact. Furthermore,
Frances move to return her Ger
man ambassador, coupled with ru-
mors Of U. S. trade concessions to a
peaceful Hitler, produces a world
wide atmosphere suspiciously like
the long-since discredited instru-
ment of "appeasement."

Exporf-lrnport Bank Stands
To Make Large Profit

And important also IS the fact that
in the current year, barring un-
foreseen developments, the export
import bank stands to make profit
of something like $4,000, 900. That
ought to be good news to taxpayers
during an era when spending money
is the first thing to which attention
is given. I believe that fact will inn
press you as much as it impressed
me.
Mr.. Pierson told me that the bank
has made commitments, now out
standing, of slightly more than $229,-
100000. That is to say, the bank
has agreed to help finance ex-
ports to that extent, provided the
terms are met, and it must not be
overlooked that the bank is rather
hard boiled. Mr.. Pierson pointed
out that the export-import bank had
to be really as careful as any com
mercial bank, but it can do some
thing the commercial banks cannot
do-make longer-term loans. Those
are the loans represented in the $780,
OOO, 1000.
The figures showed that $67, ZOO, 900
actually has been paid out to bor-
rowers in financing foreign trade
and, of this amount, repayments
under the terms of the loans
have amounted to $38, 900, 900. Which
is to say that of the loans outstand-
ing, well over half have been liqui-
dated in orderly fashion.
That is the record to date, and
Mr.. Pierson repeated that a dent
has been made with q comparative
ly small sum Of money.

Asia

Primarily an exporter Of cheap
substitutes, Japan's foreign trade is
normally unbalanced on the debit
side since total value of exports falls
short of total imports. Biggest sin
gle export, however, has been
precious silk to the u. S., $780,
000,0O annual trade which brings
an average of $50 to each of 1885,
246 Jap families raising cocoons as
a sideline. But recently U. S. chem
lists perfected nylon, q synthetic
substance which threatens to re-
place Japanese silk. An important
discovery in itself, nylon has upset
Nippon's business applicant far
enough to precipitate major indus
trial revolution. With cotton imports
curtailed and its U. S. market dis
appearing, Jap silk production will
become smaller and sale restricted
to domestic markets.
Thus forced into even greater self
sufficiency, Japan has launched a
three-year program of industrial ex-
pansion with the double purpose Of
giving its people hope and informing
other nations of its strength. Sam
pie production increases: Magne-
SUM, 1000 per cent; artificial gaso-
line, 300 per cent; dehydrated alco-
hol, 1000; wool, 200; steel, pig iron,
machine tools, 100.
Noteworthy is the heavy emphasis
on iron ore and gasoline, both of
which have been purchased entirely
abroad, and both Of which will be
needed the day Japan tackles Russia
in a great Asiatic war. Sampling
its first fruits of conquest, Tokyo
will depend largely on Chinese and
Manchukuoan resources.

ment apparently has its repercus-

Looking ahead, observers are now
sizing up the results-to-be of very
likely dictator coup, the unification
of Portugal with Spain through an
externally inspired revolution.
Two Portuguese landmarks, the
Azore islands and Lisbon, are vital
stopping points on the southern
route of Parliamentary transatlan-
tic air service which is scheduled
to start this spring. Over nearby
routes from Europe to South Amer
lea fly German and Italian lines
which would like slice of lucrative
U. S.-to-Europe air business.
Since Spain's puppet Dictator
Francisco Franco would share Por-
tugal's spoils with his two friends,
Germany and Italy, those two ma
tions would gain aviation rights at
Lisbon and the Azores, thereby hold
ing monopoly over south Atlantic
airlanes. Still open to U. S. boats
would be the northern route from
New York to Southampton, excellent
in summer but risky in winter.

Here is a play that we would not expect the average player to make As pointed out to me by John R. Crawford, of Philadelphia, who with Oswald Jacoby holds the na- tional mems pair title, every good player should familiarize himself with this situation.
 The lead of the lowest of your partners suit when holding three to an honor, or fourth best when holding four or more, has long been accepted as standard defense against an adverse declaration, anG particularly an adverse no trump contract. The play frequently leaves declarer with but one stop per, when with such combination as ace-j jack and one small or king jack and one small. he had counted on two sure shoppers while driving out defensive entries in other suits. A clever card player can often cir cumvent this defensive device.
 North had very bare opening bid. and East realized that his partner probably was too weak to make a second bid, after having been forced to respond to his take out trouble. The opening lead was won by the ace and North re- turned the suit.
 If North held the queen of hearts, to play the jack would give him his anticipated second stop- per in the suit. and thus plenty of time to drive out the club ace and assure game. South's low lead in- dicating a holding of four or three
