Eliminating a Guess -
EXPERTS, who are notoriously conceited, are curiously modest in one single department, that is, the department of guesses. Indeed, they have so little confidence in their own ability to guess the position of a card. for example a queen, that they go to almost any length to avoid such a guess. Note the vast difference be- tween experts and average players In the handling of a situation such as the following:

The contract' was, sound and re- quired only a little care.
West
opened the spade Jack, dummy winning. The diverse clubs were cleaned up in two leads and then declarer turned his attention to the one suit that offered a problem, namely the diamond suit. He led the low diamond to the ace and re- turned a dlmond to his own hand. East unhesitatingly played the eight- spot, and declarer, after communicat- ing with whatever spirits are consult- ed by habitunt guessers, put in the ien, is advice had been bad in this
case, because West pounced on the
heart. Declarer had to lose another
diamond trick to the king and with it, his contract.
As I said above, only a reasonable degree of care was necessary to in- sure the contract. After drawing the adverse trumps, declarer should have taken pains to cash his other spade trick, his nee and king of hearts, and to ruff away his remaining heart. Then, with spades and hearts climinated from the North and South it would be time enough to hands, attuck the diamond sult. The diamond ace should be enshed and a low diamond led toward the closed hand. It would not matter
now whether or not East played his king: declarer would not have to
the guess correctly. Let in suppose the worst that declarer guessed wrong and put in the ten spot, losing to West's
Pase of
jack. West would have to return a spade ur heart, in either of which dummy could discard its last diamond while declarer wis ruffing. Only in the
West's holding both the king and jack of diamonds with a guard would this plan no astray, and with that situation, no other plan (except a double dummy play) would be any better,

COUNT THE “TELEGRAPHS" EVERYWHERE
But, in fact, there were plenty of signs that Dar- lan had definitely turned against us
even before the fighting started in Syria. Apart from his uncomplaining acceptance of German tyranny and the bleeding white of her resources in foodstuffs
and materials, there was ample evidence that he was prepared to go far beyond the bare minimum of collaboration that the Germans would force on him. The most savage measures of repression were taken in France and the Vichy colonies against anyone even faintly sus pect of a warm corner in his heart for General de Gaulle and the Free French.
a man com-
Surely only mitted to the most abject sur render could find it in him to regard those who hold the spirit of nationaf and elemen- tary patriotism as deadly enemies,
. Similarly, in his attitude to- wards the British he went far beyond what the Germans could legitimately have ex- pected. Belleve me, full al- lowance was made for the fact that. France hud been conquered by a country which rightly regarded Great Britain ps hor. most dangerous enemy. It would have been no surprise to us, in vlow of this, if the Vichy Government had been cold but correct. But what. we encountered was a bitter) hostility, which has grown with every passing week and culminated in open fighting between the British and the French,
The explanation of Darlan's attitude is pretty clear. In the first place Darian is a
sailor, and not a few French snilors though by no means all, of course-have been brought up almost subconsci- ously in the tradition that, if Germany is the enemy by land, Great Britain is the enemy by sen, Setting as de the last war, most of the fight- ing France has done in the past at sen has in fact been against the British Navy. Any man in his senses, of course, would put all that
Hitlo in face of the eternal issue between France and Germany; and, in fact, I'm not suggesting that a long- standing hatred of the British Navy has been the cause of Darlan's hostility to us. But I am convinced that there is a perhaps subconscious back- ground of traditional and pro- fessional enmity.
On top of that there was the unhappy affair at Oran, where we were obliged to fire on French warships because they would not place them- selves in such a position that they would not fall into Ger- man hands. That, undoubtedly, did have a very strong effect on Darlan's mind. In fact, there is good reason to be
lieve that even now he refers to the episode in the bitterest
way.
But even this, in my opini- on, is not the major reason why Darlan has so definitely committed himself against us. After all, many Frenchmen who resented the Oran inci- dent at the time have seen the light since; and many
not
ous. Now ambition is necessarily a bad thing. A man might be inspired to take the lead by a spirit of the purest patriotism. But he does not take the side of his country's enemies, which of course is what Darlan is do- ing,
Barlan backed the Nazis first, last. and foremost be cause they were-as long as it suited them-ready to play with him if he would play with them. They were ready to give him power, in order that through him they might more casily exercise power them- selves. Darian can have no illusions about that, since he is getting orders from the Nazis every day, and carry- ing them out with a will. But he doesn't care. If the only way to have power is to en- slave France under the Nazis
that is all right by him.
But there is another thing. Bad judgment and personal ambition are not quite the whole story. The other thing is called fear. Darlan realises that not only his power, but almost certainly his own skin depend upon a German vic- tory. I have not the slightest doubt in my mind that the day France is released from bondage will be marked by a most bloody retribution upon those Frenchmen who strove to keep their own country un- der the heel of the Boche.
How can the arch-traitor, the leader of them all, Ad- miral Darlan, hope to cape? This is not a British threat, and I am only telling
€8-
Jean Darlan speaks and acts for Vichy, and there can no longer be the smallest doubt that Darlan is Britain's enemy
and Ger- many's friend. In this article, which recent- ly appeared in "London Calling," THOMAS CADETT analyses the motives behind the Admiral's treacherous policy.
more who still resent it sub- merge that resentment in the feeling that whatever has hap- pened in the past we are their sole hope for any future toler- able to a proud race.
No, not oven Oran has been the primo cause of Darlan's hate. The real explanation lies in two things: bad judg- ment and personal ambition. I say bud, judgment, because after the defeat of France last summer the vast mass of Frenchmen felt that there. was no hope for us. They had seen their own vast mili- tary organisations swept away like leaves under a broom, and. they felt that if France, with her much-vaunted military 'machine couldn't stand up to the Nazis, our chances of sur- vival were hopeless..
Darlan himself certainly held this view, and small, blame to him or to anyone' else who share it at that time, although events have shown' them to be wrong. Now when I said 'bad judgment," I didn't simply mean bad judgment, say, last August, although I repeat ovents have shown Darlan and the others to be wrong. My point is. the view that Germany will that he has continued to hold
win, and, what is more, he is determined to do everything. that he can to help Gormany to win.
And that is where the per-. sonal ambition comes ins Darlan; came to power under, the shadow of Marshal Petain because He sought power, be causo he was, and is, ambiti
you what I think. But I re- peat that from what I know of the French, Darlan, will be called upon to pay the price of his crime against his own people by his own people. He must be well aware of that.
And that, above all, is why, we British, and all who wish us well, would be fools if we failed to look on this man 88 our most bitter enemy. He is intelligent, cunning, vindic- tive-almost everything in fact but courageous.
