Garner, Leader Of Peace Bloc,
Crysta|Iized Anti-War Sentiment
Throughout the UNIFIED States

Washington, D. c. - Vice President
John Nance Garner more than any other
man changed the American attitude to-
ward the European war.
When Mr.. Garner returned to Wash
ington for the special session Of Congress
on September 81. there was a sort OF
fatalistic feeling that somehow or an
other the United States, sooner or later,
would get into war. .
Travellers returning from Europe were
quoted in Eastern newspapers as report
ing that the most frequent question
asked of Americans In England and
France was How soon will the United
States join us?"
Garner never issues statements to the
press. therefore his part in creating the
new psychology may not be fully known
to the country. But more than forty sena-
tors visited the Vice President on the
first day he was In Washington.
Here Is what he said 10 them:
1.-THE United States Is not going into
this war. The people are determined
that we shall not get into it. We in cleo
tive Office have got to quit saying that
we hope this country can stay out We
have got to start saying We are going
to stay out"
He expressed that same feeling at the
White House later in the day when DEM
ocratic and Republican leaders met with
President Roosevelt. He expressed II
again and again as Senators and Repre-
sentatfyes called on him later. And in a
few days the Garner sentiment was be-
ing echoed throughout Washington and
it spread to the country.
- Garner voted foe war in 1917 He be-
lieved there was no way to stay out and
he still believes there was no way TO stay
out He insisted that his only son 60 to
war then.

. McKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ
Defeat Or Victory May Rest Play of One Key Card
This is the last of our series of articles showing that it does not pay to play poker bridge.
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY America,s Card Authority

The playing conventions in con- tract bridge are not new. While contract is a fairly new game, we know there has been some form Of whist played for hundreds of years, and the conventions of the play have slowly developed over the cen. turtles. Therefore, when you hear a player say,"I lead whatever l think will win" or T play them as I see them," that e player either does not know the conventional plays or he has an inferority complex.
 Suppose you were sitting West in today's hand. The opponent on your right k playing the contract at three no mp. and you hold three of your partners suit headed by the jack. Should you lead the honor2
 No, hold the honor to trap one Of deciarers spades, and lead the small one. If West leads the jack South wlns with the king, knockf out the king of dlamonds, and II Fast caslies the ace and queen Of spades. South gets the spade ten foi lhs ninth trick. If East refuses ie
