Shrewd Deduction

THE most difficult hands to play

assuming there are any problems for declarer are those in which the opponents made no bids, and there- fore gave no indication of their

high-card holding or distribution. In much cases, declarer has only mathe

This particular deelnter bust different, and a sounder, idea. Upon winning the third trick with the club king, he led his singleton heart

to the ace and then deliberately cashed the heart king. Superficially spenking, this was a pointless play, as produced by East in the following:] since declarer had no loser to dis-

THE LAWN

August 15, 1941.

Collaborate Germany? –NEVER

Much has been written in the British Press about the exodus of French people to England, direct- ly after the fall of Paris.

Readers will recall the 6,000 peasants from Brit- tany who went over in their small fishing boats in groups of three and four. Taking with them their families and what- ever they could salvage of their personal belongings, they escaped at right from the village or coastal town where their ancestors had lived for generations, rather than accept Ger- man occupation and all that the word implied..

To make news also, were 90 students from the Military Academy of Saint Cyr, who sought refuge in England. to their country from neross the Channel.

serve

There was the case, on an- other hand, of the entire senior form of a certain school, who managed to get to the coast and from there to the British Isles, under the leadership of the headmaster.

Finally, in numerous in- stances, mothers made their sous embark on ships which' were to take them to a land where freedom still existed, so that, in due course, they should, as men, fight for the liberation of France. :

To Resist

All these people were joined by soldiers, sailors, oflicers, clerks, writers-in short, all' those who refused to submit- 10 defeat.

These men, women, children had taken, of their own initiative, the decision not to surrender. As different as

they could be from one an- other, they were united in the same thought: to resist..

They were the vanguard of the Free French Forces, to which the personality of Gen- eral de Gaulle was to give a rallying point and cohesion.

It is rather typical of de Gaulle that he has done nothing to advertise himself to his followers or to French- men abroad, except by his actiong. What Frenchmen: know of his person here in Hongkong they have learnt through the foreign Press. The Unbelievable

Following General,de Gaulle's appointment as Chief of Free Frenchmen through- out the world, volunteers an- swered immediately his call to. arms ond-joined the colours.

They were not in very great numbers, at first, due to the fact that more or less everybody expected an in- vasion of the British Isles to follow closely on the steps of the French collapse: To most Frenchmen especially, it seem- ed unbelievable that where their

own powerful war machine had failed, the Royal Navy and Air Force would succeed in keeping the enemy at bay...

Still, the unbelievable hap- pened. The British nation gavo a magnificent demon- stration of the truth of the adago: "Where there's a will, there's a way," and the'world

took heart at the stirring dis- play of grim heroism.

The first volunteers werd then followed by others. In ever-increasing numbers, re- cruits come from all over the world. Quite a few arrived from distant lands, sometimes at their own expense und after a long and hazardous journey, You must have heard of those whose versel was torpedoed near the coast of England. When they land- ed, after being rescued, they were so eager to serve that they reported immediately for duty to Free French Head- quarters in London clad in the odd garments which had been lent to them.

Others, soldiers and officers of the French Forces station- ed in Syria, deserted and joined the British Army in Egypt. These men were or- ganised into an efficient fight- ing unit and has been doing its bit at the side of their British brothers in arms in Egypt, in Abyssinia and in Syria, thus cementing once more, with the sacrifice of their lives in a common cause, the bonds of friendship enter- ed into in 1914-1918 by their fathers.

Murderers

Let one thing be well un- derstood: namely, that no Frenchmen on earth, be he a de Gaulle or a Vichy follower, likes Germans. These "gentle- men" from beyond the Rhine have graced our villages and cities with the presence three times in the last seventy years, not to mention previous "visits," and on each occasion they have left behind, then the same unsavoury memories. The destruction that England is experiencing for the first time at their hands, France has experienced three times in the last seventy years. Germans to Frenchmen are like the murderers of their fathers. How can anyone'ex- pect them to relish the iden of collaborating with such an enemy?.

Do not let German pro- paganda mislead you on this point. The real soul of France hates Germany and every-

thing German." This hatred cannot express itself perhaps as yet, because the grenter part of the country is occupied by the enemy and because the portion of territory which is supposed to be free is in reality controlled by the Lavals, Darlans and such, under the watchful eye of the Gestapo.

But the day will come when the Vichy politicians will be swept aside, the day when France will find on her soil a leader worthy of her past, and will express herself, in no un certain terms, on the subject of en-operation with her age- old, enemy.
