lands against the present OtlOCk is q
military question, and the answer is be-
ing rapidly hammered out on the sway
ina battle lines north and south Of
Manila.
But this thing is certain: if the
worst happens, and the Philippines ore
lost, the honor Of the United Stotes is
pledged to reeoinin9 them. cost what
it way. For 40 years the United Stotes
has stood on it's pledge that some day
the Philippines should be free and in
dependent. 1t is not going to back
down now.
Our relationship to the Philippines
is unique in colonial history We did not
seek them. They came to us as q sort
of byproduot Of the Spanish War.
When the shooting was over, we inn
medioteIy set up civil government, sent
teachers and administrators to stength
en- it.
Within 20 years almost all civil
servants Of the islands we're motives.
Within 80 years the Philippines had
been made q free commonwealth with
an elective president and legislature.
More than half the population today is
iterote, and practically all Of the 3D.
600 teachers in ~ 900 free public
schools are FiIipinos A high degree Of
tolerance between it's MosIem, Chris

To guarantee Philippine freedom is
not altogether orusodine oItruism.
The foct is thot the only kind Of q Po-
cific world in which the Philippines con

Of q Pacific world which con be free
Of O constant threat of war for the

When the President gives the SOL

Philippine independence will be estob-

At Richmond, Mrs. Tom Stoddard
| of Los Angeles and Mrs. William E.
McKenney sat down to play in one
of the open sessions. They won a
sizeable top score for themselves FOR
the session, simply basing their bids
on common sense. Here Is one OF
the hands taken from the event at
Richmond
With all four hands in sight, 1t
Is hard to see why any North
South pair should fail to reach q
contract of four hearts. Yet Mrs
Stoddard, sitting South, and Mrs
McKenney, North, were the only
ones to score the game. This is
exactly the kind of hand on which
mechanical bidders get to three no
trump-and 60 down.
At all tables, South opened with
one heart, North bid two diamonds,
and South bid two no trump. Now
Mrs. McKenney made departure
by calling three hearts. Her idea
was to show at least neutral sup
port for hearts The singleton spade
suggested an advantage for hearts
against no trump, If the suit was
at all playable.
A couple of other North players
made the same bid, but only Mrs.
Stoddard chose to bid four hearts
Instead OF three no trump. She
reasoned that Mrs. McKenney would
not have shown the secondary
heart support unless she had q
reason for not wishing to bid three
no trump, which could only be
weakness In spades or clubs.
Mrs. Stoddard was not misled by
her own double shoppers in these
suits. She realized that the hearts
probably could not be set up until
two adverse shoppers were forced
out, and at no trump the defenders
would then have time to establish
the black suit in which they were
strong.
Notice hor' accurate this reason
ing was. The spade opening set
three no trump at every other table,
but Mrs. Stoddard made four hearts
easily.
