Danes. Gone still another slice of
Britain's market.
In Hungary the beet sugar crop
was disastrous, and the Hungarians
were in q tough spot. Normally,
they supplied Germany with large
amounts of beet sugar. Despite war
conditions, the Germans turned
around and exported 1,500 carloads
of beet sugar. into Hungary. This
country's people have been existing
on German sugar as their only sup
ply for many months now. The
moral seems to be that a wise client
always plays ball with good GUS
toner, even regardless of wartime
rationing.
British Played Safe.
Things like this have been hap
pening in every Balkan country for
a long while. 1t doesn't help mat
tiers now that in Bulgaria, for in
stance, the British could have
clinched good portion of that
market two years ago if London's
capitalists lldO UcCll WllllIlk W Sup-
ply the Bulgarians with about $50
100000 at moment when they
badly needed it. In Rumania and
Yugoslavia and Turkey the same
sort of thing happened. According
to general testimony, the British
were close with their money and
played extremely safe-so safe that
the Germans edged them out, time
after time, until it was too late.
In this fashion, Germans eco
nomic conquest of the Balkans
swept forward at formidable pace.
The pace was fast, due to natural
complementary trade advantages,
but it was greatly accentuated by
the fact that Nazi businessmen ran
circles around the British, French
and all other competitors. The
Germans alone seemed to under
stand the full importance of salts
flying customers and building busi-
ness good will. They played a hard
game and played it to the limit.

wide struggle from which we cannot
stand aloof, in which our interests
in every part of the world are COM
promised, and whose outcome may
we'll determine the future condition
Of mankind for generations.
OF one thing, however, we may be
quite sure, and that is, that mere
diplomatic conversation on our part
will have little effect in Moscow
1t is by deeds. not words, that the
Kremlin will be impressed. We shall
be building upon the sands Of illu-
sion If we suppose otherwise. Above
all we must avoid allowing negotia-
tions with Russia, hope of Russian
support, to divert us or delay us in
the vigorous execution of our policy
We know that we can depend upon
those whose interests in this and
other parts Of the world are definitely
bound up with ours; If, as We proceed
along our way, we are also aided bv
Russian moves, so much the better.
We shall not be so aided if we do
not act firmly; but we ought not
to let firm action wait upon such
aid. Otherwise we may find. as
Britain and France found last sum-
mer. that we have been made
fools Of.
Russia may prove to be "the last
reserve" in this war, but on which
side that reserve will be thrown is
uncertain, and depends solely on
the Kremlin's Interpretation of
Russian interests. The Polish
analogy is, however, interesting, as
1t may now be applied to Japan, for
here again we have an isolated ma
ton allied to two great powers which
cannot possibly reach it with any
material assistance, confronted on
one side by a superior force and on
the other by-Russia! Japan's ap-
probation of the fact that she is, in
1910, cast for the role of Poland in
1899 may urge her leaders to seek
wiser solution Of the difficulty
than Poland's leaders were able to
find. In any case. the situation is
not without its element Of poetic
justice.

Soviet VIII be healiStlc.
1t may be assumed without hesi-
tation that the Russian decision will
be taken according to Moscow's
wholly realisic view of Russian in
terests, immediate and eventual.
Therefore it may be useful to try to
determine just what those interests
are.
In the first place, Russia must
take account of the fact that Hitler
has been defeated in the battle OF
Britain. This is Hitler's first major
defeat. 1t is one from which the
axis is desperately trying to divert
world attention; but it is one which
the realists at Moscow will not fail
10 weigh very carefully. To them,

their table later, I heard the eX- pert say, Lady, how can you be so beautiful!" and thought the re- mark quite apropos when I saw how she played this hand.
 The opening lead was the ten of hearts, which declarer won with the king in dummy. The right play of course is to let the lead ride to the ace, then lead a club in order to establish a club trick for the dis card of the losing heart.
 But the fair lady had no such idea. She at once led a diamond, and the finesse of the ten lost to the king. A heart return knocked out the ace.
 South cashed the diamond ace, giving up the ten-ace. A club lead was still correct, although the con- tract was now clearly set. A small diamond was ruffed, and now at last the declarer thought of the club suit. She led the club king from dummy. East put up the ace and promptly led a trump to kill further diamond ruffing.
 South could have salvaged some- thing from the wreckage by put ting up c trump honor, in order to get into dummy with the nine. If West should hold up the ace to block this entry, then the diamond jack could be ruffed out. But mol She threw the priceless four-spot on the trump lead. West won, re- turned q trump. and South was iil with c diamond loser, the clut ueen unreqachable.
