rules, East was forced to make
some bid when North redoubled,
unless East happened to have q
very strong hand and wanted to
play at the contract of one heart
redoubled. The original reason
for this rule was that years ago
psychic" redoubles were some
what in vogue. and the only de-
Tense against them was to let the
opponents be stuck with their
redoubled contract every now
and then, and suffer . heavy set.
Psychic redoubles, however, like
most psychic bids, have gone out
of use and no defense against
them Is necessary nowadays.
II East had bid two diamonds
over North's redouble, East-West
would have gone down at least
three tricks, or 900 points, wher-
ever they happened to play the
hand. East's pass gave West IN
opportunity to bid two clubs. at
which contract he went down
only two.
Nothing could prevent Vests
getting four club tricks and two
spades. Deducting his 100 honors,
West lost only 400 points net,
which was all right, because
North-South could have made
game ct no trump.

We DARE NOT REFUSE LEADERSHIP

There is something about the Amer
icon people that makes them reluctant
to assume responsibility and leadership
in proportion to their world position.
1t is noturol Our forefothers came
to this hemisphere. most Of them, de-
liberotely to get away from the old
ambitions, and old mperioIisms which
were gradually making Europe unfit
to live in. We hod continent Of our
own to develop and exploit. We had no
need Of oversees dominion, and every
time circumstances have forced US into
exercising it, we have shrunk back and
done it either unwi|IineIy or badly, or
both. Even so short time ago as 1920,
the miIitory phases of the World War
being over we shronk from any active
part in creating better world order.
Our nature and our position have COM
bined to make those attitudes possible,
perhaps desirable.
But now we find world leadership
thrustine itself upon us in many fields.
In spite Of ourselves, our. strength
makes us greet world power. Chang
ing circumstances have shown clearly
that we ore not unaffected, and cannot
remain unmoved by what goes on in the
rest Of the world For our own safety, we
must use our power.
Financially, unless some totally new
concept OF money and exchange be-
comes dominant in the world, we are
now in q position Of vast influence. We
have 80 per cent Of the gold in the
world. The gold exchange system Of the
world as we have known it, or any ex-
change and monetary system based on
gold, can never function without our
leadership. Operating with the Stobili
zotion Fund, the treasury hos already
taken steps to steody and coordinate
with our own certain South American
currencies. The U. S. Chamber of CON-
meree, scarcely internotionoIist in ordi-
nary times, has urged strongly that this
be mere be9innine-thot inferno
tionol trode can never be resumed on
any normal footing unless the United
Stotes moves now to get monetary
boss laid on which it con function.
The fact that we are engaged in q
mighty effort to provide the sinews Of
war for Britain does not lessen, but
rather increases the obligation to try to
prepare the way for the world Of peace
thot must come some day.
One way to do this is to toke the
leod in setting up q workable system Of
international money and exchange, so
thot peoples which wish to trode peoee-
fully with one onother will be oble to do
50.
And now is the tirs to do it.

POLITICS, PISTOLS AND vloLETs

To begin with, it is quite useless for
Americans to try to understand the
deoth Of SomueI-WoIter Ginsbur9-kri-

former Russian secret service man
found decd in q Washington hotel is {.

there will be wild and violent discus
sion in rodicoI circles about whether he
was the victim Of political revenge.
But the whole business Of political
assassination or political suicide either,
Russion style, is beyond US simple
Americans to understand.
