CONTRACT BRIDGE.

By W. E. McKenney,

Secretary, American Bridge League.

J

Practically every system at con- tract bridge has some form of a demand bid. A demand bid in one which requires partner to keep the bidding open.

Under the One-Two-Three ну- tem of Sidney S. Lenz an original three bid is the only demand bir of the system. An original three bid shows a very powerful hand and one in which the declarer feels confident that, with little or Kamo no support from partner, can be made.

Who making a three bld, you must be in a position to do one of the following three things:

Ile-bid the sult shown.

Bid some other sult Permit your partner to play the hand at three no trump.

A three bid must be supported by partner with one quick trick and normal support in the suit bid. Or it may be supported with four carda of the suit bid and no outside strength,

TELEGRAPH. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1932.

Not holding normal support, but one trick and a biddable suit of your own, this, suit should he shown.

When holding less than four cards of the suit bid by partner and a Renerally worthless hand, your proper response is three no trump. The proper . response would also be three no trump if you held only one quick trick and Do biddable suit.

When holding better than the one quick trick, and no biddable suit, your proper response wonk be four or more no trump. Re- member that pariner, when mak- lug an original three bid, holds a very powerful hand and if you hold more than one quick trick, you should be prepared to show these additional values which may assist your partner in arriving at a email or grand slam declaration.

When partner opens

with an original three bid of a minor suit, don't be tuo anxious to jump the contract into a game-going dee-

BIG CROP FAILURE.

GRAVE POSITION FACING THE SOVIET

London, Apr. 6. The greatest anxiety is felt by the Soviet Government owing to the possible failure of the grain crop all over Russia and the bad The simplicity of this system state of livestock production, caus- can easily be summoned up as fol-ed alleged "criminal neglect"

lows:

1--One bids simply show a fair haud and should not be assisted without real trick values.

2-Two bids indicate hands on which the changes look good for going game, and can be support. ed with minimum help. but you are not required to support with worthless cards.

3-Three bids show the power house hands that will generally produce game if you and your partner can select the correct suit or no trump. They are all de mand bids and you are required to keep the bidding open. With a worthless hand, the proper re- sponse is three no trump-thus partner is assured of a second op- portunity to bid;

INDEPENDENCE OF PHILIPPINES.

REACTION IN JAPAN.

Tokyo, Apr. 5. Mr. Stimson's letter on Philip- pine independence is given wide prominence in this evening's papers. Official quarteru „appear surprised at the House's passage of the Hare Bill, as they never re- garded the question of indepen- dence as a practical proposition of the near future.

Mr. Stimson's fear. regarding Japan if independence be granted is declared to be unfounded. The belief is expressed that Japan pact would willingly enter guaranteeing Philippine Indepen- dence if Americn desired it.

Surprise is expressed at the "im-

tone of Mr. Stim perialistic" son's letter, which has called forth the comment, "It is difficult to

spring sowing preparations and the fact that the collective farms have not carried out more than half the winter programme, at- cording to very reliable informa- tion from Riga, which states that this in mainly due to apathy on the part of the pensants, as a result of which the Governmont has issued a decree denouncing the management of the state cattle farms and has arrested 1,700 afli- cials for their dismal failure to provide meat, milk and butter for the, "toiling mass08,"

They have also ordered the state farms to be split into smaller units.

A great effort to retrieve the situation is being made "by shock tacties," and meanwhile the Soviet press points out that the root of the evil is the "depersonalization" or absence of any sense of indivi- dual responsibility on the part of the peasants, who have been de- prived of their holdings which have been incorporated in the col- lective system.-Reuter.
