The objection may be made that in this sequence North is not bid- ding strongly enough. This criti- cism, however, would be very short- sighted. After all, North started with a two-bid, hence his four heart bld can scarcely be considered any- thing but constructive. North knows that South's band can be as bad as it is, or considerably stronger. In the first case, North must make it possible for the part- nership to stop at game; in the second case, North need not worry about a slam because it will be South's duty to carry the bidding further.
Referring to the actual hand The new system provides that the above, four hearts is a safe and
responder may mention his suit (without going through the old for- mality of first bidding two no- trump) if said sult is five cards in length headed by the king, the queen-jack, or better; or may re- spond with any six-card sult. This, however, does not hold true when there is an intervening bid, as in the above sequence. South would not be justified in bidding three hearts (or anything else) as a free bid over East's three diamonds. 115 lack of one honour-trick in the hand as a whole makes a pass the only correct action. On the next round, however, South shows the heart suit freely over East's four diamond

Success on the Economic Front
THE WAR WITHIN THE WAR
With shipping space one of the most precious commodi- ties, it is obvious that ships carrying foodstuffs and raw materials to Great Britain do not return empty. They lond up supplies for British forces overseas and they carry Bri- tish export goods out in ex- change for our imports.
Since Continental markets are cut off, Britain is supply- ing many of the former cus- tomers of Germany and the occupied territories despite the fact that her industrial arcas are in the front line and that her first necessity is to produce the
of weapons offence and defence. The total volume of export trade has been well maintained, and it is achieving, and will con- tinue to make an invaluable contribution to the war effort.
There is, of course, a con- siderable element of selection, which must at times make things difficult for the expor- ter in Britain; the goods he would like to sell overseas may be needed here, or it may not he practicable to import the raw material for them, or his products may be very bulky in relation to its value so that it occupies too much shipping space. But for the oversea wishes to take buyer who British goods the answer is safely buy simple. He can anything that is offered in the Assurance that he is helping Britain by so doing.
“Buy British”
There has been some con- this fusion of thought on point, and, partly on account of statements made about the need for economy of purchases in the sterling area and for saving shipping, some people, in the Dominions particularly, have wondered whether the "Buy British" slogan was still valid. It undoubtedly is. The men and women of the British countries overseas, who have so notably shown their belief in the cause for which the Empire is fighting, can help that cause by sacri- fices in the economic field; they can avoid buying nori- essentials outside the sterling arca so that foreign exchange is conserved; but they can rest assured that British goods on sale in their mar- kets, whatever their class, would not be available there unless their export' were as- sisting the war effort.
It is fairly obvious that shipping. space is saved if the vessels re- turning from Britain go direct to the ports from which the importa we need are drawn. It is a waste of time, which comes to the same thing as

other things being equal, to those coun- tries from which we want supplies. On this ground alone, therefore, will be seen that exports to the United Staten, for example, can be Increased with the maximum ad.... vantage.
Dollars Needed
Moreover,. dollars are Britain's most urgent need to-day, as far. ns- foreign exchange is concerned, and any export that provides them In particularly valuable. The effect may be indirect. For in- stance, an export to one of the Dominions from Britain, which is necessary and which would have to be bought outside the sterling.

the maximum efficiency in the war effort, but the situation is rational and comprehensible if these main generalisations are borne in mind.
The goodwill of buyers in coun- tries oversens, their desire to help Britain in her struggle for free- dom, are obviously important fac- tors which must not be forgotten. The reception
given to the WII- lingdon Mission in South America proves again, if proof were needed, that this cali

Trade Into Planes
The President of the Board of Trade, in a broodcast 'to North Amerien, put the two aspects goodwill and good business—very well when he said: "If you con- tinue to buy and even to increase your demands for those British goods which you have

I don't want you to imagine that you are Alling the pockets of British mer chants. You are putting into the sky an neroplane, and we will man it with the best we have".
The vitality of our export trade' in circumstances that might well have been expected to make it impossible, and the differentiation between what can and connot be usefully exported in wartime ure well illustrated by a brief amination of the 1940 returns of oversea trade.

On the other hand, there were heavy fulls in exports of machinery and veliteles of all kinds, and that needs no explanation. The fac- tories producing this kind of pro- duct are mostly full time on war, work.
