This was decided at the parley at London to-day, when Mr. J. H. Thomas, Lord Hailsham, Sir John Simon, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Mr. Eamon de Valera, Mr. T. Dulanty and Mr. McGuire were present."
The conference, which began at 10.30 a.m., was held at the Domin- lons Office. The car containing the Free State delegates arrived tho almost unnoticed, owing to rival attraction of the Guards Band from the Chelsea Barracks march- ing to the Palace.
The presence of Mr. de Valora at his hotel was kept a secret, and only a few officials were aware of his identity.

The case was adjourned.
Instead he must discard either aelse and then stop. club or a diamond, and he must not discard a low one, as he needs that for an entry in dummy.
As the ace, king and queen are all of the same size in both suits, he first discarded his ace of dia monds. Then when the heart was again continued, he again refused to tramp and discarded the ace of clubs. You can see that they guld not continue hearts or they would be ruffed in dummy.
West's best defence
now is to lead a diamond. The jack should be played from dummy, which will hold the trick as the declarer has saved a small diamond, discarding hig ace. The small spade should be played from dummy and the ten spot finesse taken. The declarer should then load his nce of spades, which picks up West's spades.
The declarer has the eight of clubs with which to enter dummy. Now another spade in led from dum- my and the jack finesse taken. De- clarer can now play his king of apades, picking up East's queen, and by making one of the most un- usual plays of the year-throwing away two aces--the declarer has made his contract.
