I have carefully scrutinized every inch of the rond passed over and failed to find any damage whatsoever.

However that may be, as a busi- ness man I am shocked by this exaction, upon a firm trying to "carry on" in hard times: as a Briton I am shamed that our good name in this cosmopolitan part of the world should be sullied by an imposition having in my bellef no justification in morality.

East is in a bad predicament. He does not wish to pass holding none of his partner'a suit, but still neither of his suits are strong enough to bid. If East bids two dia- monds and West will let that con- truet hold, East and West will not do badly on the board.

Sume Enet players responded with one no trump-others bid two clubs with the iden that if they were doubled at clubs they might $2,003 run to diamonds. Where East bid

100 diamonds, West in then bid two spades.

North opened with the king of 30 pades and when he found the 26 dummy void of hearts, he continued 25 with his ace and then a small 25 trump, knocking out all of dummy's 10 trump.
