with this information, the final to a grand slam was a distincti stretch, but South was that sort of player.

Now declarer led his last trump, and poor West had to surrender, He could not disenrd the diamond without setting up dummy's six-i spot; hence he reluctantly gave up the club eight. Thereupon declare led low to the club ace, back to his king, and cashed the jack for the futalling trick.

gets some first-hand news from
Occupied France
HAVE JUST HAD FIRST-HAND IN- FORMATION (in a way which I much regret I cannot divulge) of life in Occupied France.
This information has a special interest and im- portance, because it comes from a little provincial town and not from Paris.
News from Paris is fairly frequent in Britain,. and tells only of what is happening in the capital, which, like all capitals, more or less represents nothing but itself. As the heart and soul and back- bone of Britain are to be found in the provinces, so are the same anatomical and spiritual pieces of France to be found in the French provinces.

MOST INTERESTING
TO ME of all I heard
is the complete ignorance of Parisian events, in which the
already run into millions of francs. And no doubt it will have more.
Life as a whole is almost normal, except (and a very big "except" it is) for the presence of German soldiers. The enemy, on the face of it, interferes very little, except with the local newspapers, printing and engraving" bu- sinesses; people don't use the telephone at all.
✰
My information confirms reports brought back to this country by British bomber pilots, that whenever British planes fly over by day, the
people come Dul into the streets and wave to them. They do it in front of the Ger- man soldiers.
Germans, having no sense of humour, simply don't, un- derstand how on earth any- one can welcome á bomber which, nt any moment, might lay an egg on you,
The French have a witty genius for irritating people. The Germans have been pret- ty well driven out of the local restaurants. In this way. Whenever they came in they used to unbuckle their dagger- adorned belts and hang them on the wall. So the French used to come in with belts adorned with bicycle pumps, and hang them up alongside those of the Nazis. Result: loud Inughter which panzer- divisioned the Germans out of the restaurant.
Such conduct bailles, and, to some degree, dispirits them. The old racial inferi- ority-complex. is set working overtime. They are puzzledi.

Interest in New World
WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP),----Uncertainty over the status of the French colonial empire as a result of the Vichy Berlin collaboration agreement has attracted new attention to possessions in the Western Hemisphere.
-inhabitants-of-this-little-town--Tho-largest-of-these new
are kept by their temporary over-lords.
They had never, for in- stance, heard of the last November 11 anti-German demonstrations in Paris, when German machine-gun- ners opened fire from the top of the Arc de Triomphe on an unarmed crowd in the streets below.
They know little or nothing about what is happening in any district of France other than their own. I imagine that goes for the whole of oc- cupied France. On the other hand they know a lot about what is happening in Britain, Africa and the United States.
And for this reason, French newspapers, which merely print what the Ger- mans sither tell or permit them. to print, are almost en- tirely boycotted. Their sale is derisory.
But the B.B.C. broadcasts in French are a howling suc- сеня. Although it is forbid- den to listen to them, the midday and the evening broadcasts have a tremendous audience, and what is said in those broadcasts is passed on with all the mystery and ra- pidity of a bush telegraph.

world possessions, and the only one on the American continent proper, is French Guiana, a colony covering 34,- 740 square miles. More than one-third of the colony bor- ders on Brazil.
French Guiana is the best known because of the famous penal settlement at Devil's Island. Actually, Devil's Is- land constitutes only a minute. fraction of the colony's rela- tively vast expanse. It is situated along the coastal · fringe, This fringe consti- tutes one of the natural parul- lel belts which roughly divide, French Guiana into geogra- phic zones beginning at the ocean front and extending back into the interior.
Unexplored Plateau Beyond the coastal fringe, according to a report of the American Geographical So clety, is a marshy area 15 to 25 miles wide.

The next zone is a low hilly area, and beyond this is the largely unexplored and spar- sely settled low plateau ex- tending about 125 miles. At the edge of this zone is range of hills approximately 1,200 feet high and along the Brazilian boundary lies, the 2,500 foot Tumuc Humac range of mountains.
The climate is hot, humid and monotonous. There are two rainy seasons from May through June and November through January, February and March are dry.

"All three Gulanas have been among the most difficult re- glons of the continent to colonise, but of the three, the French colony has shown the least progress. It is also tho least suitable for habitation as well as the least known.

Guianas (French, British and Dutch) have similar physical conditions, the differences in social and economic status must be largely due to factors of colonial and governmental policy."
French Guiana might be- come ad entirely different type of colony, the Society's report said, if money were available for the development of modern sanitation systems and adequate communication facilities. The colony is not without valuable natural re- sources, the report points out.
Natural Resources
Among these are gold, for- est products, coffee, cacno, and sugar. In addition, the colony has great grassy areas which are well suited for cattle raising.
Despite these assets, how- ever, agriculture is poorly de- veloped and the colony is re- quired to import many com- modities, among them some which could be produced loc- ally, from neighbouring coun- tries.
The colony has only four accessible porta: Cayenne, the capital; St Laurent du Maroni, St Georges du ́ Oya- pock and Regina. None can handle large vessels.
Land communication with neighbouring Brazil and Dutch Guiana (Surianam) is practica1 I y non-existent. There are no rail-roads. Vir tually. all communications with interior, points are by river. In recent years, French Guiana has been -linked to the other Americas
by plane. Pan-American. Airways makes ong stop weekly at Cayennó with mall. and, passengers.
The early history of the colony was marked by strife with the Indians, French, Dutch, British and Portu gese. The colony changed hands several times until. 1814, when the French, cata- blished their sovereignty.
