the ill-chosen bid that puts
your partner on the spot. A poll
of expert players gives a ma
jority to the bid made by North
in today's hand, as commonest
and least excusable of trap bids.
After the opening bid of one
spade, North properly decides to
60 at least to four. But there
may be slam, and he wants to
find out. ! will not discuss the
merits of the jump to three
spades - perhaps other alter
natives were better. But three
spades cannot be criticized.
But the raise to five spades
over four is a trap. Since South
has been forced to go to game
by the Jump to three, he cannot
be assumed to have any more
than his original bid. North has
in effect raised one spade to
five, which is more than his
hand warrants. AS the cards lie,
South cannot save the situation
by passing five spades, because
even that contract cannot be
made.

DANGEROUS TALK

Elliot E. Simpson is one Of the most dangerous
in the United Stotes today Not because he is vicious
or unpotriotc, dishonest or wifuly harmful No
body who has met the man and studied his activities
alleges such foults
Mr.. Simpson is q major menace to the nations
success in because he is an apparently sincere
evonge Of doctrine which - if he can make enough
converts - may he p that axis defect the United No
tons.
Elliot Simpson, you remember, is the New York
rubber importer who has been retained as counsel by
q congressional committee which is studying the
rubber situation. He speaks with that quasi author
ity which from his official connection Because
he is associated with legislative committee he pub
lie assumes that the foodgotes Of cosric wisdom
have been opened for his benefit and through him,
for ours
His thesis is that there is no rubber famine He
soys thot if no natural rubber imported and no
synthetic manufactured, by reclonoing waste we
could provide for all rubber needs during the next
five years, including tires for pleasure driving
He contends that, in addition there all but
IimtIess resources Of rubber in Latin America which
we could top at will
- He charges thot the appearance of q rubber
crisis has been creoted permitted exist by four
bq rubber companies so they can kill off minor
league competition and intensity the monopoly they
already possess
We are not going to defend the Big Four Of the
rubber industry, or to venture guess whether they
have been and are working toward q monopoly.
The important fact is this:
We cont Oxford to proceed now on any theory
thot Simpson is right.
IF he is correct going to have rubber
than need; going to have wasted hundreds
Of millions Of doIIors and the responsible, in
out Of the rubber industry going to be in very
unpleasant doehouse for very long time.
But if Simpson is wrong and we cancel or delay
too long preparations for supplying the rubber for
military needs, including the transportation Of
workers and goods and of essential civilian sup
plies we shall lose this war;
Simpson is the only rubber expert" who claims
there is not rubber shortoee We cannot gamble
this war on the chance that he may be right and the
world may be wrong
The Simpson menace lies in the foct that the
agitation he hos erected and is stimulating is delay
ing our preparations to provide rubber It is danger
as greet - less pressing than = the German 3D.

The already strong case for the
