South's last bid was highly ques- tionable; a double, or even a forcing pass, would have been more logical. However, South made up in the play whatever could be said about his bidding.
The club ten was opened; East won and cashed the spade nee, hop- ing for a high signal from partner. West could not oblige, and East exited with a club.
Now almost every player in the position would blithely lead South

A FINE EXCUSE.. TOO WINDY! AS IF THE WIND COULD BLOW THE LAWN-MOWER!
THE
LAWN!
August 15, 1941.

Collaborate Germany? - NEVER
Much has been written in the British Press about the exodus of French people to England, direct- ly after the fall of Paris.
Readers will recall the 6,000 peasants from Brit- tany who went over in their small fishing boats in groups of three and four. Taking with them their families and what- ever they could salvage of their personal belongings, they escaped at night from the village or coastal town where their ancestors had lived for generations, rather than accept Ger- man occupation and all that the word implied.
To make news also, were 90 students from the Military Academy of Saint Cyr, who sought refuge in England, to serve their country from neroas the Channel.
There was the case, on an- other hand, of the entire senior form of 71 certain school, who managed to get to the const and from there to the British Isles, under the leadership of the headmaster.
Finally, in numerous in- stances, mothers made their sons embark on ships which were to take them to a land where freedom still existed, so that, in due course, they should, as men, fight for the liberation of France.
To Resist
All these people were joined by soldiers, sailors, officers, clerks, writers-in short, all those who refused to submit to defeat.
These men, women, children had taken, of their OWN initiative, the decision not to surrender. As different as they could be from one an other, they were united in the same thought: to resist,
They were the vanguard of the Free French Forces, to which the personality of Gen- eral de Gaulle was to give a rallying point and cohesion.
It is rather typical of de has done Gaulle that he nothing to advertise himself to his followers or to French- men abroad, except by his Frenchmen What actions. know of his 'person here in Hongkong they have learnt through the foreign Press. The Unbelievable
i
Following General de Gaulle's appointment as Chief of Free Frenchmen through- out the world, volunteers an- swered immediately his call to arms ond joined the colours.
They were not in very great numbers, at first, due to the fact that more or less everybody expected an in- vasion of the British Isles to follow closely on the steps of the French collapse. To most Frenchmen especially, it seem- ed unbelievable that where their own powerful machine had failed, the Royal Navy and Air Force would suiceced in keeping the enemy at bay..
WAT
Still, the unbelievable hap- pened. The British nation gavo a magnificent demon- stration of the truth of the adage: "Where there's a will, there's a way," and the world:
took heart at the stirring dia- play of grim heroism.

they reported immediately for duty to Free French Hend- quarters in London clad in the odd garments which had been lent to them.
Others, soldiers and officers of the French Forces station- ed in Syrin, deserted and joined the British Army in Egypt. These men were or ganised into an efficient fight- ing unit and has been doing its bit at the side of their British brothers in arms in Egypt, in Abyssinin and in Syria, thus cementing once more, with the sacrifice of

But the day will come when the Vichy politicians will be #wept aside, the day when France will find on her soil a leader worthy of her past, and will express herself, in no un- certain terms, on the subject of co-operation with her age- old enemy.

Field-Marshal Baron Ironside y criticised for fresh statement similar to his famous "Come on Hitler! We are ready for you" just before the Germans crashed through the Lowlands and France last year.
Recently he told h Norfolks nudience that "the war muy finish a good deal more quickly than many of us imagine. The Colossus in front of us with feet of clay will come unstuck."
The "Evening Standard," in an
Let one thing be well un- derstood: namely, that no Frenchmen on earth, be he a de Gaulle or a Vichy follower, likes Germans. These "gentle- men" from beyond the Rhine have graced our villages and cities with their presence three times in the last seventy years, not to mention previous "visits," and on each occasion they have left behind-them-editorial, the same unsavoury memories. The destruction that England is experiencing for the first time at their hands, France has experienced three times in the last seventy years. Germans to Frenchmen are like the murderers of their fathers. How can anyone ex- pect them to relish the idcu of collaborating with such an enemy?

"This familiar rigmarole is exactly the opposite to the sort of instruc- tion that should be given the British people in this hour.
No Feet Of Clay
"The tale is simply untrue. The Colossus which bestrides Europe hasn't feet of clay.
"Perhaps. Field-Marchol Ironside realises that nothing is better calcul- nted to warn and rouse the nation than a few rosy words from his sol- dierly lips.
"Perhaps he knows that, to win the war, we shall need stout hearts, lough bodies and long endurance, not heads of clay."
