CONTRACT BRIDGE.

By W. E. McKenney,

Secretary, American Bridge League.

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

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

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

Ro-bid the suit shown. Bid some other sult Permit your partner to play the hand.nt three no trump.

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

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

When holding less. than four cards of the sult bid by partner and a

generally 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 na biddable suit.

TELEGRAPH. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1932.

When holding better than the one quick trick, and no bichlable suit your proper response would be four or more no trump. Re- member that partner, when mak- ing an original three bid, hokis 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 small or grand slam declaration."

1-One bids simply show a fair hand 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 worthiess cards.

-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--thua partner is assured of a second op portunity to bid.

INDEPENDENCE OF PHILIPPINES.

in spring sowing preparations and the fact that the collective farma have not carried out more than half the winter programme, ae- cording to very reliable informa tion from Rign, which states that this is mainly due to apathy on the part of the peasants, as a result of which the Government has issued a decree denouncing the management of the state cattle farms and has arrested 1,700 ofli-: cials for their dismal failure to provide meat, milk and butter for the "tolling masses."

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 tactics," 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- Mr. Stimson's letter on Philip-léctive system.--Reuter, pine independence la given wide

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

Surprise is expressed at the "im- perialistle" tone of Mr. Stim- son's letter, which has called forth the comment, "It is difficult to
