CHAOS IN BRIDGE

CONTROL BOARD TO

The recent Belfast Bridge Con- gress was made the occasion for a meeting of delegates of Bridge Associations which was of great importance to the future of the

game.

At the moment, so far as Duplicata Bridge is concerned, chaos provalis,

There are two national associations in the field, the National Bridgo Aano- ciation and the British Bridge Lengue, neither of which has the allegiance of more than a proportion of Those in- |terested, while a number of regional associations have also come into exist ence which are responsible for simi- lar, und in some cases, competing acti- vitics.

This multiplialty of independent authorities is not in the best interesta of the game.

farm they are admirably suited, "but For many of the functions they per-

their activities call for co-ordination, and there are quite a number of fune- tions which none of them can effec- tively discharge,

QUESTIONS OF ETHICS The meeting at Belfast, attended by representatives of seven important associations had before it a proposal for setting up a Dupllente Bridge Board of Control.

The idea behind this Board of Con- Irol is not that it shall usurp any of

the proper functions of the national or local associations, but that it shall, by agreement among them all, nsstine responsibility for certain activities which would properly come within its scope. These include: Shanghai, May 18. THE Foreign Office of Tokio has decided to launch a campaign for the spreading of Japanese culture in China, Mongolia, Siam, Indo-Chína, India and the Philippine Islands.

A sum of 200,000 yen has been set aside for the purpose of establishing a cultural research institution in Tsingtao or Tientsin to study Chinese and Japanese culture.

A sum of 60,000 yen will be spent on the building of a Japanese library in Shanghai.
