ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE 1$ AIM OF VON PAPEN Junker Chancellor Is Out to Destroy Soviets’ 5-Year Plan. TJit* (• the li f *erie rtlel** bv Frederick Kuh on the German ltuaUon. BY FREDERICK KUH iCoovrleht. 1932. bv United Press) BERLIN, June 13.—1f LieutenantColonel Franz von Papen has his way as head of the “all monocle" German cabinet of militarists and Prussian junkers, the nation's foreign policy will undergo a radical shift to an alliance with France and Poland against Soviet Russia. Von Papen's real aims were divulged through the indiscretion of a member of a gentlemens club composed of aristocrats, junkers and a sprinkling of wealthy business men who were very active in pushing the removal of Chancellor Bruening Returning from a jaunt to Paris last year, Von Papen, vice-president of the club, told the monocled gentlemen that Germany must drop her pro-Russian policy and conclude an economic alliance with France and Poland for the purpose of destroying the Soviet five-year plan. Through the slight indiscretion of a gentleman present, the aims of the present chancellor became known to Berlin. His Long Range Aim Achievement of the chancellor’s aim is not possible overnight, but it is known to be his long range aim. It is understood on reliable authority that when immediately after Assuming the chancellorship, Von Papen announced that he would continue the Bruening government’s foreign policy, he meant primarily that the German delegation to Lausanne would Veitarate Brucning’s refusal to pay reparations. Wilhelmstrasse is even considering telling the world that Germany's plight will soon necessitate annulment of perhaps five and a half billion dollars worth of long and short term private foreign debts, besides cancellation of reparations. The vital parts of Von Papen's diplomatic methods differ radically from those of all his postwar predecessors in the chancellorship, who were determined to play the Soviet trump against the Versailles treaty, and who maintained close political, economic and military intercourse with Moscow. In Kultur League Von Papen has been known for a long time as a member of the socalled league for the protection of western kultur (a predominantly Catholic and anti-Russsian organization) and belongs to several Franco - German committees. Besides, he has participated in numerous clandestine conferences with French politicians and industrialists. Chancellor Bruening, addressing the reichstag May 11, warned a German politician, who remained unnamed, against secretly telling important foreigners that the coming German government would be more ready to make concessions than the Bruening regime. This mysterious admonition was aimed at Von Papen’s backstairs meeting with French industrialists at Luxembourg a few days before. The diplomatic corps heard that Von Papen arid his minister of defense, Genera! Kurt von Schleicher, took French Ambassador FrancoisPoncet into their confidence at least a month ago, after which the ambassador hurried to Paris and advised his government of the impending coup of army leaders and junkers against Bruening. Alliance Held Essential In the discussion at Van Papen's club, in which he first revealed his aims, he admitted that an alliance against Russia would necessitate temporary renunciation and revision of the German-Polish border agreement and said that under those conditions, France would consent to Germany’s rearming. Arnold Rechberg, potash magnate, told Von Papen that a political and military alliance with Fiance was essential. Von Papen added that German reliance on Britain was impossible due to the influence of French finance in England. The United States he said, would recover a voice in the world's big political decisions only after the presidential election. Paradoxically, the ultra-national-ir Von Papen cabinet is more anxious to come to terms with France than Bruening’s government, and expects Premier Herriot to be replaced by Tardieu, who is expected to be more amenable to Von Papen’s alliance scheme.

Famous Hands in Championship Bridge History—No. 19

BY W. E. M’KENNEY, Secretary, American Bridge League TODAY I want you to meet George Reith who, with his partner, Mrs. R. B. Fuller, won the national mixed auction pair championship. He and his teammates also hold the national mixed contract team-of-four title.

Reith is one of the country’s leading contract authorities. He is a proponent of the one over one system and chairman of the card committee of the Knicker b o c k e r Whist Club, one of America’s oldest clubs formed exclu siv e 1 y for bridge. Reith says that the average player is apt to overlook opportunities to make profitable doubles of

low contracts, because he attaches too much importance to the constructive side of bidding, and also because his lack of assured knowledge of card values makes him fear that the low double, if unsuccessful, will give the adversaries game. As an illustration, Mr. Reith gives the following hand:

AlO-9 VA-7-3 ♦ J-9-8-7-5 *lO-8-3 *5-3 | NORTH J * J-8-6 VQ-6-5- [T 5 VJ-IQ--2 u cn 8-4 ♦ A-K- £ H 43 10-6-2 Dealer *K-7-5-*A-9 l SOUTH | 4-2 ♦ A-K-Q-7-4-2 VK-9 ♦ Q-4 *Q-J-6 The Bidding Mr. Reith sat in the South posi ion and opened the bidding wit]

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

one spade. He firmly believes in the fact that not only must first or second hand hold the required two and one-half high card tricks to make an original bid, but the hand should also contain a rebid. In short, partner always can depend upon a first or second hand bid as being especially sound. After Reith’s original bid of one spade, West made what seemed to be a sound overcall of two diamonds. East and West were vulnerable and. North and South not vulnerable. Reith’s partner, due to the soundness of the original bid of one spade, now could see a larger penalty score than would be possible even if she and her partner could make a game, so North promptly doubled the two diamond bid. The Play North’s opening lead was the ten of spades, which held. North continued with the nine and this also was allowed to hold the trick. North then followed with the ace of hearts and a small heart. Reith returned the king of spades and when West trumped with the deuce, North over-trumped with the five and led the seven of hearts, which South trumped. The queen of spades then was led by Reith, West trumped wtih the six of diamonds, and North overtrumped with the seven. A club was returned by North and won in dummy with the king. A small diamond was led from dummy and when Reith played the queen. West won the trick with the king and then cashed his ace of clubs. He then led the ace of diamonds, hoping for a break, followed by the queen of hearts, which North

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Saturday’s Times: More Weight, More Speed —At first thought it is puzzling that a loaded plane should fly faster than an empty one. However, it is easier to understand when it is realized that a loaded plane requires a greated lift on each square foot of wing area, and to obtain the lift on the wings a greater speed must be attained. The plane I drew in my cartoon is a Curtis-Wright Junior, such as will be given to the winner of the first prize in the national Believe It or Not contest. Tuesday—The Star Boarder. trumped with the jack of diamonds. West won the last trick with the ten of diamonds, but his contract had been defeated three tricks doubled, giving Reith and his partner a plus score of 1,000 on the board. (CoDvrißht. 1932.
