At auction the bidding would be South one no trump, all pass. While at contract North would go to two no trump and South would carry on to three no trump.

The Play.

West has only one opening-his fourth best club which is the five Espot. The six is played from dum my. If East were now to play the queen of clubs and follow with the king, West would have a per- feel right to figure his partner for another club.

The correct play is for East to tell his partner that he holds hut two clubs and instead of playing the queen, he should play the king which will hold the trick. He then lends the queen of clubs. This shows out and inform partner that he holds no more clubs. When South, the declarer, plays the four, the careless West player might follow with the three of clubs and it would then be a simple matter for the declarer to go game.

London, May 16. The political conditions in Japan which resulted in the assassination of Mr. Inukai, lends the Manchester Guardian to declare that the future pence of the Far East depends very much on the manner in which the conflict in Japan between demo- cracy and the Aghting services is decided.

On the strength of the reports of ominous messages, the Newe Chronicla says it seems incredible of things in that the condition Manchuria can continue long with- out an explosion. The nature of that explosion has been foreseen from the very beginning of Japan's Manchurian adventure. There is every reason to believe that the Inat thing the Soviet wants at the churla.
