What to open against a slam contract always is a problem. Reserve Liabilty of Proprietore Generally the loading of an ato is just the play that will make it easy for the declarer.
I believe, however, that the pooreat lead against such a con- tract is the opening of trump. By doing so, you practically let the declarer call for his lead.

The bid of three clubs over two hearts is highly constructive. The bid of four diamonds over three spadès le another construe- tive bid,
You even have some hopes of trying for a grand slam with this holding, but when South simply re-bids spades, then North should hid five spades. This practically asks South if he holds a double- ton heart. Without the doubleton heart, South can go to alx spades. If West opens the ace of hearts, that is the only trick the oppo- nents can win. But if he opens n diamond, the declarer will let it ride to the queen, and then make n grand slam,
