South's two notrump was one of those horrible bids made by a play- er who Hkes to "play all the hunds." One club, of course, was the correct opening bid.
West opened the heart queen and declarer held up the nee, thus prove ing that his play was no better than his bidding. West could now count that the ace was the only outstand- ing heart, but he saw that it would be pointless to continue with hearts. Rather than besiege an impreg- nable position, West shifted to the diamond deuce, and from that point. on declarer was in trouble,
East for
the club stopper.
The point is that, due to declar er's silly hold-up at the first trick (after East's heart pine drop, sure- ly declarer had nothing to fear from the heart sult) he had put himself
a position in which it was neces- sary to guess the diamond situation exactly. As it happened, he guessed wrong and played the jack to the second diamond tead. The queen won, and a diamond return estab- lished East's long diamond. When East took the lead with his club stopper, he cushed this diamond for the setting trick.

CURE FOR THE SOUL
IN
OF A DICTATOR
It's because we really do We want to hear the music. hunger and thirst for it.
TN the whole nineteen cendants are falling outside
-months-of-war, only-the-concert-hall... one newspaper in the country --and that a local one with a small circulation-has ventur- ed to print a suggestion which appeared with great frequency during the years 1914 to 1918. and even in this one case a storm of letters from indig- nant readers forced it to heat
husty retreat.
The suggestion was that wo should ban German music for. the duration.
Now the fact that it is no longer possible to advance this idea without arousing hoots. of derision from the average man is the sign of a tremen- dous advance not only in musical appreciation but in general intelligence. Though It sounds like midsummer madness it does happen to be quite true that in the last war enraged patriots had their Steinways and their Bluthners carted out on to the croquet lawn, where they were hacked. to pieces with axes by puzzled under-gardeners, Pianos have Bot been so foolishly treated since the days when their legs were adorned with drawers by Victorian ladies, in the inter- esta of modesty.
I also happens to be true that Beethoven
and Bach were hissed at at national concerts, and that many lovely German Heder, in which words and music melted together in exquisite harmony, wore hopaluzely mutilated by the hasty inser- tion of English lyrics.
We realise to-day that such behaviour is a classic example of the ancient pastime of cut. ting off one's nose to spite one's face. But that isn't the only reason why we can now listen without interruption to a programme of German music, even when the bombs mide by the composer's des
Music can answer every argument by showing that all arguments are futtle.
It is inconceivable thit_men, who have been engaged in fierce controversy could listen to the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven, and really under- stand it, without finding them- selves, when the last echoes died away, nearer to friend- ship and understanding.
By Beverley Nichols
I believe that music-real music could cure almost any- thing. Even the soul of a dictator.
Not by a single raucous note can the Fuehrer mar a melody by Mozart ... it fonts beyond his reach, sweet and stainless, and it is the property of all men, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, for ever.
Time and again Hitler must writhe under the insults that music constantly offers, hlm, for he is, in his way, a musical
man.
We are told that he likes Chopin. What, then, must the famous Revolutionary etudo say to him,.. that flam- ing protest against a country's wrongs, that sweeps the key- board with the breathless Im- petus of a charge of Polishi cavalry? What answer can he find to the devotional music of Bach?
Mendelssohn, with all his sweetness, of course he can dismiss, for Mendelssohn was a Jew, and, therefore, capable, of making only ugly, nolecs. But Schubert-how can ho
bear the sound of his own tor- „turcd_voice_after a song of Schubert? And how, miracle of miracles, can he find such joy in the march, march, march of soldiers' boots when somewhere, round the corner, a street boy is whistling a waltz by Strauss?
Yes, indeed, music must often be agony to him. And it is a heartening sign that it is becoming an increasing joy to us. Not only to hear, but to lake.
