Commercial Credits

Inc section OF the proposed neu-
trality law authorizing the President
in his discretion to permit the extern
sion OF ordinary ninety-day COM
mercial credits to belligerents does
not appear to be in conflict with the
terms of the johnson Act, nor is
there any reason to believe that the
exercise of such discretion by Mr..
Roosevelt would have the slightest
tendency to involve the United States
in the European war.
There is nothing in the Johnson
Act which, if reasonably construed,
can be held to interfere with the
customary manner of conducting
international business transactions.
That statute was aimed at the for
eign nations which had defaulted on
their wartime debts to this Govern
ment, and was designed to prevent
them, while in default, from floating
any new loans in this country.
Support for this belief is found
in an official Interpretation of the
Johnson Act by Attorney General
Cummings on May 4, 1884, some three
weeks after the statute had been
enacted. The Attorney General said
that Congress obviously intended the
law to be applicable to any attempt
by defaulting government to float
hind iccJ1nc eivei1o~ Sx,
this country, but that in his judg-
ment it was not contemplated that
the prohibitions of the act should
apply to foreign currency, drafts,
checks "and other ordinary aids to
banking and commercial transac-
tions." 1t is obviously not the pur-
pose Of the Congress, Mr.. Cummings
said, ito discontinue all relations
with the defaulting countries"
Since the extension of ninety-day
credits to purchasers is one of the
ordinary aids" to commercial trans
actions, 1t is difficult, in the light of
the Attorney Generals ruling, to see
how the johnson Act can have any
reasonable or logical application to
the section Of the proposed Neutral
ity Act now In question.
On the contrary, 1t would seem
that such an Interpretation would be
an unnecessary and harmful inter-
ference with the conduct of our
foreign trade. The fundamental pur-
pose Of the proposed change in our
neutrality legislation is to keep the
United States out of war. 1t is sub
mitted that the extension of ninety
day credits to foreign purchasers
credits which, II unsettled, may not
be renewed-is not a factor CAL
culated to lead us into war, and in
the absence of convincing showing
to the contrary there can be no JUS
tiflcation for permitting a strained
construction of the johnson Act to
hamper the conduct of our legitimate
and desirable export trade.
Congress, while refusing to accept
unreasonable amendments to the
proposed neutrality law, should also
examine the tentative draft with
care to be certain that it does not
contain provisions which may prove
harmful to our commerce with
out contributing proportionately to
greater national security. Defects
already disclosed have been rectifled
and, since the proposed statute is
being offered as permanent legisla-
ton, it is important that any ad-
ditional flaws be discovered and cor
rected while the subject is under
debate rather than after the law
becomes effective.

Lack of Required Two Quick Tricks Does Not End Van
derbilt Bidding
-Loring photo.
In February,

absolute force without absolutely
committing a blank hand to con-
tinue the bidding further. With q
decidedly weak hand, 1t Is recon-
mended that the responder now
make his Institutional response.
Thus II the bidding has gone:
South, one club; North, one dia-
nond; South, two no trump, and
North holds: spades, Q; hearts, 4
3 2; diamonds, @ - 8 4; clubs,
@ 10 8 2 he should now bid three
diamonds, rather than take q blind
chance by calling three no trump.
In this case, the opening hand,
which has shown O strong and ag-
gressive holding by the opening bid
and has confirmed II In the face
, Of announced weakness by his two
no trump call, may now pass. II his
weakness was In diamonds, he coulc
now bid three no trump. Equally
there Is q chance that this bid will
At his own hand, and that a max.
able game at the minor suit de-
claration may be reached, while O
game at no trump would have been
wrecked by a suit held by the de-.
Tending players.
When the bidding has gone
South, one club: North, one dia.
mond; South, one heart, the re-.
spending hand should try to keep
the bidding open. He may do so
by making any natural bid he
chooses, having denied the strength
needed for a positive response. In
this situation a raise to two hearts
would not be q strong bid. Equally,
he could show four-card spade
suit at the one level, one barely
biddable or distinctly weak, such as
K 10 0 8 or @ 10 8 Z.
Also he may bid no trump with
an evenly balanced hand or make
any other natural bid which his
holdings Justify, with the knowl-
edge that his partner, who has
shown q strong and aggressive
hand, wanted the bidding kept
open. Thus, so far as the partner
ship Is concerned, this bidding Sc
quence provides no guess: South,
one club; North, one diamond;
South, one heart; North, one no
trump. Here the future Of the hand
rests wheer 1t belongs, with the
partner who has opened the bid
ding. It would be Just as true that
had user OF the Vanderbilt club
opened with one heart, and the
responding hand could see no future
for the hand, he would have no
guess either. He would simply pass
and let the later bidding take Its
course.

When the responding hand shows
the lack Of two quick tricks by the
one diamond response, the club bid
der must make q forcing rebid II
he wishes 10 continue to game.
Without q force, the responding
hand, lacking distributonal values
or with blank hand, may pass. In
choosing this rebid, q bid OF two
hearts or spades Is Internationally
forcing to game. A bid Of three
clubs or three diamonds Is forcing
for one round and indicates long

In another declaration for which the
hand also holds support. A rebid OF
four Of the minor on the next round
Of bidding may be passed.
In theory, the required minimum
for o bid Of two spades or two
hearts after the one club-one dia-
mond sequence Is 5 i-2 quick tricks,
although these values may be
shaded with additional distributions
al values. For example: spades, A
K ] 8 4; hearts, A X 10 o 2; dia.
monds, A. j; clubs, 2.
This hand opens one club, and
the response Is one diamond. The
correct rebid Is two spades. The
bidder Is open to attack In both
majors. although he holds Ave cards
