North was dealer. and neither side
was vulnerable. East, however,
opened with a weak club. Mrs.
thinner, in the South, called spade,
and West overcalled with two hearts.
The bidding progressed until Mrs.
thinner was in four spades. West
led the 10 Of clubs and the 'declarer
hoped right up with the ace in
dummy, even though it was the only
positive entry into the exposed hand,
rather than allowing it to come to
her king Of that suit. Those who
were set let the trick come to the
king of clubs. The declarer then led
a small spade which East passed and
permitted the king to win. Another
lead OF spades and both the queen
and ace fell upon it, leaving the jack
good for an entry into dummy. East
laid down heart, which West won
with the ace, and played his last
club, which the king won. A lead to
the jack of spades in dummy enabled
the declarer to flnesse the jack of
diamonds to the king in Vests
hand. The remaining cards were all
good, Mrs. thinner losing only the
ace of spades, the ace of hearts and
the king of diamonds, and claiming
four odds. Those who lost the con-
tract did so by taking the first trick
in the closed hand and then being
obliged to lose two spades, a heart
and diamond.

Mexico Plans Free

WASHINGTON (JTA)-Acting
Secretary of State Edward r.
stettinius, Jr. declared that ne
was very gratified to read the an
nouncement by the Mexican Gov
eminent of plans to set up Refu-
gee Shelter in Mexico patterned
after that established by the U. 5.
Government at Fort Ontario.
The Acting Secretary made this
statement at a press conference
adding that he hoped that other
countries would follow the example
Of the United States. Il would
welcome such a move by all free
dom-loving countries OF tn e

The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1944-08-01

Mr.. Morris D. Waldman, vice.
chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the American Jewish
Committee, has touched off rev.
olution in concept and maneuver-
ed an theological "putsch" through
an innicuous article in the current
issue of the Committees organ,
Contemporary Jewish Record. Mr..
Waldman attacks the principle of
national self-determination and, in
particular, the minority treaties
enjoined on certain states by the
victors in 1918 and guaranteed by
the League of Nations. This sys-
tenn "has proved to be impracti-
cal and unrealistic" according to
Mr.. Waldman, and should be
abandoned in favor of another
formula-an International Bill of
Rights, which in it's turn will
probably be characterized as
unrealistic. The exchange OF
utopias, under a veil of fashion
able commonplaces, constitutes a
reputation of the basic idea of
the Jewish assimilationists since
the days of the French Revolu-
ton: Their claim for admittance
as full-fledged members to the
ethnic master-groups on the basis
of common language and common
