It is quite true that if West held the ace of diamonds, six odd can be made, but as you are almost certain to get a diamond opening, due to the fact that you have shown control of all other suits, it is not worth taking a chance and sacrificing game for

I must be thoroughly under- stood that ace showing does not take place until after one or the other of the partners puts in a forcing bid, even though they agree on the suit. In hand E. South, having five hearts and five spades, opens with the higher ranking suit first, by bidding one spade. North shows normal sup port in spades by going to two pades. Both partners have agreed on the same suit, but as neither has made a forcing bid, ace show- ing should ant be used. South shown his second suit by bidding three hearts, North takes the con- tract to four hearts which should close the bidding.
