CONTRACT

BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

A player's real ability at the bridge table should be Judged on how strong a defence he can put up. It is surprising the number of playors who can handle the dum my well but who fall miserably on

defence.

The following defensive play. is not extremely difficult, and I was pleased to note, in the men's pair game at the National Champion- ship tournament of the American Bridge League at Asbury Park, N. J., that few pairs failed to put up the proper defence. The Bidding

South and West both passed and North opened the bidding with one spade. Enst overcalled with two hearts. South bld two spades- this overcall of two spades is a highly constructive bld.. North re- sponded with two no trump and South went to four spades,

The Play

A dummy with the ace. small opade was won with declarer's ace returned and and another apude won in dummy with the king. The king of clubs, was enshed and the declarer then trumped the four of

clubs. He next played the ace of diamonds and here is where Enat had an opportunity of making a good defensive play,

If he plays a smull diamond the, declarer will lead another diamond and let him hold the next trick with the jack, and then all he can do is to cash his ace of hearts and the declarer's contract is made. However, if West plays the jack of diamonds on the declarer's nce, the declarer cannot help but lose. two diamonds and two hearts as West is going to be in on u dia- mond and can lend through his king of hearts.

WORLD CRISIS

4 A WAY OUT

By FREDERICK COPE, A.M.I.E.E.

Mr. Cope's striking articles on the world economic crisis which were recently published in the Hongkong Teicgraph are now available in pamphlet form.

One of the features. repaying study, is the close similarity between the plan of reform suggested by this local writer, and certain aspects of the Rocsevelt recovery prograinme. The author's ideas are naturally far too advanced for active promotion at the present time. but they are particularly interesting in view of the fact that President Roosevelt, in striking out on a path of his own, has travelled in the same direction.

The pamphlet is one of forty-four pages and cot be obtained from the South China Morning Post at a cost of--
