take the place of a perpetual mo-
ton arms race, the bullying of the
weak by the strong, and force as
the sole arbiter of events.
That is democracy as applied to
the international field a plain
rule of live and let live Democ-
racy in the long run means simply
the willingness to respect others
rights as equal to ones own.
1t is to achieve this kind of a
peaceful and reasonable order in
the world that we have thrown our
weight into the scale, not to insist
that every country must have
senate and a house of representa-
tives and quadrennial elections.

Answer TO Yesterdays Puzzle
UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Since white men first crossed the
Atlantic, no other act OF nature has
taken so many lives as the explosion
of a certain volcano. 1t broke loose
in the year 1902 and brought death
to more than 10000 human beings.
The volcano did its fearful work
on the island of Martinique. This
island was discovered by Columbus
and for a time was part of the
Spanish empire. Three centuries
ago. however, French settlers were
sent there, and it became French
colony.
Because Martinique is an island
of the New World-north of South
America-there has been fear that
conquered France might let it pass
into the hands Of Germany's SOL
diers. In such a case it could be-
come a base for attack against the
United States or some Latin Amer
lean country. The American Gov
ernment has made it plain that
Germany will not be allowed to seize
control.
The name martinique" is pro-
nounced mar MEEK" 1t is
French name.
The island is about 40 miles
long and II miles wide. 1t is the
home of more than quarter Of a
million people

to young officer. The officer
was Napoleon Bonaparte; when he
became the French Emperor his
wife became the Empress Josephine.
Josephine's native city was st.
Pierre, the islands leading seaport.
After she left it. ia years passed
before its population was wiped out
by the terrible explosion of the vol
cano known at Mount Pelee.
Mount Pelee gave warnings before
the sad day came. There was
time of smoking and there were
rumblings of small earthquake
shocks. People in st. Pierre now
and then found the smell Of sui
phur in the air, but they did not
suppose this meant much in the
way of danger. When clouds rose
from the volcano, they laughed and
said to friends, "Old Pelee is smok-

Reaching a Slam

From now on" writes despond-
ent reader from Dallas, Tex, I'm
going to bid nothing but games and
slams. Part scores are harder to
make, because you have weaker
cards. and once YOU have them
they're just a liability. For the
life of us, my partner and I can't
see where we went wrong with this
hand:
South, dealer.
Neither side vulnerable.
North-South part score, so.
Evening star., 1941-01-09

Answer: Bid three diamonds. You
have already shown willingness TO
play no. trump, so there is no point
in rebidding no-trump; your part
ner can do that just as we'll as you.
Choosing between your partners
suits allows him to 60 on with a real
minor tWo-suiter, or to raise no
trump or support spades if he has
a hand of more general strength.
Score 100 per cent for three dia-
monds. 80 per cent for three spades,
20 per cent for three no-trump.
Question No. 652.
Today you hold the same hand,
and the bidding continues:

with the part score of 60, North
felt he had to confirm the diamonds.
He was afraid that a bid OF one
heart might be followed by spade
bid: and then his next chance to
confirm the diamonds might come
at a rather high level. And South
saw no reason to disturb the bid of
two diamonds, since North might
have a very weak hand; and, more
over, he was willing to let the op-
ponents enter the bidding. Can you
tell us where we went wrong in
missing this slam?'
We think both North and South
were overcautious. North should
have bid one heart without worry
ing about a possible adverse over
call. If the worst happened, North
was willing to go to four or five
diamonds. And even after North
had bid only two diamonds, South
should have made the mild slam try
Of three clubs or three diamonds.
If North had bid one heart. South
would have bid two clubs, and then
Norths bid should be three dia-
monds. Just try to keep South out
of slam after that!
And, after North's actual two
diamond bid, if South had bid
either three clubs or three dia-
monds, North would go to four
diamonds. And then it would be
easy for South to bid the small
slam.

ing the entire period. 1t was up to
him to try to answer all questions
In the Senate. He stood at his desk
on the floor almost all the time the
bill was being considered.
He had to be constantly on guard,
for Democrats skilled in their knowl-
edge of the tariff were ever trying
to trap him. Rarely fiustered. al
most invariably ready with concise
answer, he amazed his colleagues.
AS an illustration, there was the in
cident of the duty on infants
hosiery. Senator Harrison of Missis-
sippi, ranking Democrat on the
Finance Committee, who seemed
never to enjoy anything more than
batting the Utahan. questioned
Mr.. Smoot's accuracy in classifying
8-inch hosiery as wear for infants.
Doesn't an infant Senator Har-
rison inquired facetiously, with feet
8 inches long cease to be an infant?"
Mr. Smoot looked at him severely,
and replied;
Eight inches means a sock with a
4-lnch 1Oot Plus 4-lnch leg. mat S
all there is to it :"
President Hoover affixed his sig
nature to the bill June II, 1890,
marking the conclusion of a job
begun by Mr.. Smoot June IL, 1929.
While never regarded as an orator,
Mr.. Smoot talked frequently and
sometimes at length on many sub
jects. Outstanding in this category
was a speech against the first pro-
pOsal of the Wilson administration
for shipping board, this being
before America entered the World
War. For more than II hours he
held the floor of the Senate, without

initial Job was sacking potatoes at
the Provo Mercantile Institute.
When his father learned what Reed
was doing, he predicted to one of
the company officials that the youth
wouldn't stick at that sort of hard
labor. Young Smoot overheard the
remark and conflded to friends that
he was going to stay there until he
became manager of the planat
Three years sufficed for this first
goal. Then he felt free to try his
hand elsewhere. The Provo Woolen
Mills were in financial difficulties
and young Smoot, just turned of
legal age, was given charge and
told to rescue the concern. Success
there marked him as a business
genius and thereafter his progress
in commerce, industry and finance
was rapid.
Equally rapid was his advance
ment in the councils Of his church
and he was selected as an apostle
when he was but 38 years old.
Three years later his possession of
tnat place plunged him into the
bitter senatorial contest.
Kept Long Office Hours.
Mr.. Smoot kept the longest Office
hours of any of his contemporaries
in the National Legislature and
rarely let up even at the end of a
lengthy day. Almost every night he
took work home with him.
The climax of all this personal
effort came with the Smoot- -Hawley
bill. In all the history of tariff
legislation. no other man had ever
undertaken to steer such a measure
single.handed. Previously it had
been the custom to apportion the
task among several members of the
Finance Committee.
The SmOot- -HaWlev tariff con-
tanned 81 900 items. 1t had Is sched-
ules, the free list, the special and
the administrative provisions. The
committee listened to testimony
from 1892 witnesses.
While the bill was being prepared
the Senator never missed a day dur

even an interruption for a quorum
call.
But there were occasions. too, when
he could be effectively brief When
the Senate was voting on the war
resolution and Senator after Senator
was speaking long and sonorously
about the great step that the Ma
ton was about to take, Senator
Smoot arose and said:
Il rise to make this simple and
earnest appeal:
God bless and approve the action
to be taken by the Senate this
day. Oh Father, preserve our Gov
eminent and hasten the day when
liberty shall be enjoyed by all the
peoples of the earth"
