A war between the Teution and

That is what Adolf Hitler talked
about Is years ago and he wrote
about in his book, :'Mein Kampf.
Both the Teutons and the Slavs
are members of the white race.
Most persons have got over such
silly ideas As the need for a war
between them.
Hitler made believe he was over
It too. when he signed a treaty
with Russia in 1889 He thought OF
Germany as the great Teuton nation
and of Russia as the main Slav
nation. In the treaty he promised
not to make war against Russia.
1t was as if he said, Il have been
wrong in thinking the Teutons and
the Slavs must go to war with each
other"
Yet Hitler had made promises
before that, and had broken them
Since then he has kept on doing
the same thing In history books of
the future he may be known as the
Promise Breaker"
1t is a common thing to teach
children that they should not break

North didn't see how he could

South was reluctant to bid the slam
with three small diamonds-eSpe-
cially since a diamond opening lead

We agree that North couldn't bid
any more. since North had TO stretch
a bit TO find a reverse bid and the

should have bid the slam without
hesitation. Reading the bidding
would have told South that North
had no more than one diamond!
When North opened the bidding
in hearts and later bid spades. he
made the positive statement that
he held more hearts than spades.
The reverse should have told South
that North had not only strong
hand but also five hearts and four
spades. The Jump raise in clubs
had to be based on a three-card
club holding, so North's three bids
accounted for IL of his 13 carus.
The 18th card might be diamond
COR North might have an extra cluo
or heart. but there could be only
one diamond in the North hand.
South could, therefore. have known
that North held at least two aces
and a king in the major suits plus
the king of clubs and only one ola-
mond at most. In combination with
