Which is more difficult, the play
of the declarer or the defender?
Generally speaking I believe that
more skill. is required in the play
of the dummy. Of course, making
the right opening lead is important,
but the opportunities for excep-
tionally clever defensive plays Go
not arise frequently.
Il the defender keeps a good
count on the hand and follows the
play carefully, he will get all his
tricks.
In today's hand there was an
opportunity for an alert defensive
play. On the very first trick, when
a low heart was played from dunn
my. East had to play his king on
h S partners queen. Otherwise
when West continued with a heart,
East would have to overtake it,
declarer would let it hold, and
East would have to return another
suit.
Hearts were continued after East
won the first trick and declarer
held off until the third round,
East ~discarding a club. Now de-
clarer led a small diamond, and
if West had followed the old rule,
second hand low, the contract
would not have been defeated. De-
clarer would have played dummy
nine-spot and East's queen would
have won. But East had no hearts
to return. However, West put up
the ten-spot, dummy's ace was
played, and one again East was
on the alert. He dropped the queen
of diamonds on the ace, thus estab-
fishing a diamond entry FOR his
partner-to cash all those good
hearts.
East had nothing to lose in drop

Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. g.
Republican proposals to cut FEEDER
al income taxes have the support
Of about half of the voting pOpula-
ton. The other half thinks there
should be no cut in taxes until
some of the national debt has been
paid off.
Among people who pay income
taxes however, majority senti-
ment favors reduction, although
the majority is not large.
With Republican leaders talking
about a 20 per cent reduction in
taxes when the new Republican,
controlled Congress convenes, the
Institute has put the issue to the
public in a coast to coast poll. A
similar poll was taken just before
the Congressional elections early
this month. The trend of sentiment
follows:
"Do you think the new Congress
should reduce income taxes in 1947,
or should this wait until some of
the national debt has been paid

MORAL CRISIS

What has gone wrong with the
world?
Why, nearly ten months after
the end of hostilities in the Sec
ond World War, are we seeming.
ly farther away than ever from
the attainment of the objeetives
of that war?
Why. when period Of con-
structive progress in American
industrial history is rewardingly
ahead of us. have we fallen into
gravest industrial warfare in our
history?
Why. when we might have
had a period of cooperative.
constructive achievement in gov
eminent, have we developed the
worst deadlocks and the great
est breakdown in party respon-
sibility for many years?
Why have the Allied victors
in the war plunged into bitter
peacetime rivalry?
Why have we not more effect.
lively relieved perhaps the most
grievous famine in world history7
The answer, surely, is that we
are paying the price for many
years of drifting deeper and
deeper into selfish materialism.
1t is a moral crisis at base. When
we deal with it as moral crisis
we will begin to make progress.
How? First. perhaps. by wax
ing up to the fact that the war"
is not over. The same forces
which brought the war are still
trying to disrupt and master
mankind. The same lies about
mans place in the universe are
still being disseminated. The
same denials of the integrity of
democracy, which is based upon
a recognition of the individuals
status, are being sprayed out
over the hills and valleys of hu-
mainly.
And the answer to these lies
is the truth. The truth about
mans brotherhood, the truth
about the inviolability of the in
dividual, the truth about Gods
fatherhood. This truth must, of
course. be applied practically. 1t
can be applied by living brother
hood. by demonstrating relation
ship. 1t can be applied and
must be applied-by individual
alertness and awareness. Since
we are seeking 10 protect the in.
dividual, the job must begin
with him.
Each awakened individual is a
potential army, There is no ma
gic formula of civic action. The
individual has to adopt and carry
out all the many methods which
come to hand. He can strive to
awaken his fellows, He c a n
be dynamic cell of political
activity. He can keep after his
elected representatives, he can
cooperate in organizations, be
can write and write and speak.
He can share.
But, above all, the individual
can carry out in bis own life the
imperative requirements of an
awakened world. This sends him
back to the fundamentals he has
always known and often failed to
exemplify. He must live the Ten
CommaDdments-and he will see
law established in his affairs. He
must live the Sermon on tho
Mount-and he will experience
the benefits of unselfshness.
These age-old remedies are
now the only remedies that can
meet the worlds needs. Matter
has gone bankrupt. The machine
age, which has flourished for q |
century or more and brought
with it much progress and ad-
vancement. has finally produced

New Mexican Regime
May Face Test in Oil
Industry Labor Iieup

MEXICO CITY, D. r., Dec. 13.-
Labor trouble in the government
owned oil industry may prove the
first test OF strength for Mexico's
new national administration.
President Miguel Aleman has an
nounced the intention of replacing
politics with efficiency in his coun-
try's two big government industries
oil and railways.
He is on record as demanding
both efficiency from their man-
agement and cooperation from
their employees. mo illegal stop
pages of work .ought to be under
TAKEN" were his words.
Work Stoppage Voted.
But within-a week of the time tbs
president made that statement one
section Of the oil workers union
voted to suspend work. Such a
''paro" o"-reporting for work but do
ing none-is forbidden by Mexican
law, which authorizes strikes duly
called under legal formulas.
President Aleman's Secretary OF
Labor, Andres Sierra Rojas, threat
ened to apply legal sanctions In
event of a "paro" These include
cancellation of the union contract.
Government and union officials
alike have begged the workers to
be patient until the new head of
the Oil industry can sift the unions
grievances.
President Aleman's appointee as
general director of the industry IS
Antonio j. Bermudez. best known
as the man who cleaned up JEarez.
Was Mayor Of Juarez.
An unsmiling, gray-mustached
manufacturer, Mr.. Bermudez first
rose to public notice when he be-
came Mayor Of Juarez, just across
the border from Ell Paso, Tex. He
is credited with wiping out vice In
Juarez, paving streets, building
schools. libraries and public build
ings and putting the city treasury
on q sound footing.
From there, Mr.. Bermudez became
treasurer of the State Of Chihuahua,
then a senator.
The stern new chief Of Pemex,
as the OIL industry is called, in
herited a lot of old headaches, a
brand-new $25, 900 900 refinery and
plans for two additional refineries.
The new refinery, about 10 miles
from the heart of Mexico City. is
named March 49," because that
was the day in 1888 that Mexico
appropriated foreign oil properties
New Pipeline in Use.
A new pipeline brings crude oil
156 miles from the rice fields at
coastal Poza Rica, and refinery
boosted the capacity Of the old
plant from $4,000 to 5000 barrels
daily.
President Aleman's program calls
for stepping up oil production to
meet rising domestic demand from
transport, industry, and tourists who
drive their own cars.
Tourist demand alone may
double present demands for gaso-
line" he believes.
So Mr.. Bermudez will have hi.
hands full, not only settling labor
but speeding the trans
formation of Pemex from an In
dustry aimed at EXPORT to one serv-
ing mainly domestic needs.
Mr.. Bermudez doesn't like the
term "reorganize" for what he in
tends to do to Penfex.
II have an organization" he says.
MY job is to improve It,"

pointment Of Secretary vinson must
have come as 4 shock to Justice
Jackson.
Prompted by Ambition.
This ambition OF Justice Jack
sons must necessarily be taken into
account in considering the unfor-
tunate statement that he made at
Nuremberg. In 1t he referred to a
columnist's reference to a breach
between Justice Black and himself
Justice Jackson apparently thought
that the column in question was
based upon information given to the
columnist by Justice Black. So his
blighted ambition, plus what he re-
garded as a covert attack, misled
him into making a statement that
it Is difficult to associate with the
Robert H. Jackson whose friends
have long admired him. With what
amounted to naivete, Justice Jack
son apparently tried to give the
impression that he was trying to
clear away possible difficulties from
the path Of the man who is soon
to become Chief Justice.
Justice Black did not give to the
columnist the information on which
the article was written. In any
event, the outburst from Nuern-
berg could not possibly smooth the
road for the prospective new Chief
Justice. 1t could only cause him
and the other members of the court
acute embarrassment.

view that he himself possessed.
I regard the statement cabled by
Mr.. Justice Jackson to this country
as an unfortunate episode. I do
not believe that if he had been in
this country, where he was not sub
ject to the strains that must be
incident to the Nuremberg trials and
where he would have had a clearer
knowledge of the circumstances, he
would have said what cannot do
either himself or the court a par
ticle of good.
Fundamentally Liberal.
Justice Jackson was Attorney
General when Chief Justice Hughes
resigned. Attorney General Jack
son aspired to fill that vacancy. I
believed him to be fundamentally
liberal in his point of view. 1t was
Pin the hope that I might be able
to forward his ambition that I went
to see President Roosevelt. There
is reason to believe that he was
strongly inclined to make Mr.. Jack
son Chief Justice. But, as he had
the right to do, he had come to the
opinion that the best man to sue
coed Chief Justice Hughes was As
sociate Justice Stone.
