BOGEY OF U. S.-JAPANESE WAR IS ACE UP EUROPE’S SLEEVE IN DEBT PARLEYS Washington Holds Accord on Far East Problems Essential Requirement for Slashes in Sums Owed This Country. ThU In (hr nrrnnd of two utorir* outlining America 1 * difficulties in the cominr war debts nefotiation*. BY' WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ficrlpps-lfoward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—One of the aces up Europe's sleeve in the $22,000,000,000 war debt poker game to be staged here early next month will be the bogey of a Japa-*nese-American war. Europe, of course, has no intention of pulling out this card with a flourish and slapping it down on the green baize table. She will make far more subtle use of it than that. Simply by letting a corner of it show she hopes to scare Uncle Sam into letting her get away with the pot.

Accord on Far Eastern policy is said here to be essential before America will agree to debt reduction.

It is regarded as essential not because America is vitally concerned in Manchuria, as such, but because tpe situation out there must be cleared up before there can be any assurance of world peace. Mere settlement of the war debt problem, leading revisionists in congress insist, will have little or no effect on world recovery—which is the big stake America is playing far —withorut the confidence that goes with such assurance. Japanese Call U. S. Villain In Japan anti-American sentiment is at high pitch. Public opinion there apparently holds this country to blame for whatever goes wrong with Nippon, whether in Manohukuo, China or Geneva. The Japanese masses have been led to believe that America is blocking the road to their 'place in the sun.” Great Britain and France, on the other hand, are regarded in Japan almost as allies. Since September. 1931, these two powers have prevented the League of Nations from taking action against Japan for her invasion of China. Thus, while they stand ace high in the island empire, the United States’ popularity is regarded there as sort of double-eyed villain. America in Some Danger The United States, therefore, occupies a position of some danger. A responsive populace in Japan is being fed on war talk by their super-patriots, while the general staff of the army and navy seems to be in complete control of national policy, both domestic and foreign. Meanwhile, fully cognizant of this situation, many Europeans believe that a war between Japan and the United States might prove a blessing to Europe, however fatal it would almost certainly be to the nations involved. Such a conflict would wipe out the last vestige of the foreign trade of both countries. While they were tearing themselves to pieces in the most baseless and idiotic of wars, Europe would fall heir to their markets. Complain of World YVar Profits Both countries would require vast quantities of war stores and services, and Europe might enrich herself supplying both sides. By holding aloof from the conflict, many Europeans figure they might not only recoup their shattered fortunes, but settle an old score with Japan and America into the bargain. Both Japan and America, Europeans have never ceased to complain, took advantage of the World war to “coin billions out of the blood or Europe." While Europe was busy “fighting for civilization," avS some put it, Japan and America grabbed her foreign markets. It would only be poetic justice, therefore, if the tables some day were turned and Europe coined billions while Japan and America provided the blood, they believe. Trice of Neutrality A Japanese-American conflict, military men say, would bleed both countries white, while economists warn that for at least a generation they would definitely remove themselves as Europe’s competitors in the world of trade and commerce. The price of Europe's neutrality—if historic precedent means anything—at a minimum and as a starter would be cancellation of the war debts. Today as the cards are dealt, therefore, the United States is at great disadvantage, whichever way j one looks at it. And that Europe will hesitate to play them as they lie now seems too much to expect. There still is a gulf, centuries, wide, between the code oi civilized individuals and the code of civilized nations. ALBERT HENLEY IS DEAD Resident of City for 39 Years Will Be Buried Friday.

SENATE ERROR BRINGS TURMOIL High Court Brief Given to Legislators; New Batch Is Printed. Fifty copies of a brief prepared by the office of Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., for the United States supreme court were distributed to the fifty state senators by mistake and caused great consternation, it was learn today. The brief, bearing on the Logansport gas rate case, was due in Washington Tuesday, and was delivered to the statehou.se Saturday as scheduled. Like all such deliveries, the package went to the printing board. It was labeled S. H.. which led Robert Mythen, printing board secretary, to think that it must mean senate and house. Counting fifty copies, he decided they were for the fifty senators. There are 100 members of the house. So he dispatched the bundle to Dick Heller, senate secretary, who had the pages distribute them around on the senate desks. “I distribute what they send me,” Heller explained. Meanwhile, the attorney-general’s office rushed to the printer and had another fifty copies printed to deliver to Washington, having been unable to discover unti. days later what became of the first batch. 2 BIDS ARE MADE FOR LIFE INSURANCE FIRM Proposals Submitted to Federal Judge by Receiver for Company. fill I'nilrd Press CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Two proposals to take over the Illinois Life Insurance Company, now in receivership, were submitted to Federal Judge James H.

Wayne, Ind., which proposed to absorb the Illinois Life business as part of its own company. Judge Wilkerson took the proposals under advisement.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League On my way south, I stopped recently at Columbus, 0., where I dropped in at the Columbus Bridge Studio Club and ran across the following interesting hand. How to handle the situation when an opponent opens with a pre-emptive bid and you hold an exceptionally strong hand always is a problem. Mrs. Edmund B. Neil and her partner, M. Porter Walley, met the situation with a very fine bid—a bid that is a fine weapon when properly used. However, you must be very careful not to abuse the bid.

The Bidding Both sides were vulnerable and South, the dealer, who held eight spades, started the contracting with a bid of four spades. This is a pre-emptive bid and does not invite a response from partner. On the contrary, it is a definite attempt to shut out not only the opponents, but your partner as well. Personally, I seldom use the pre-emptive bid as I hesitate to make any bid that definitely will shut out my partner. However, the bid of four spades was made and that is the situation which confronted Mrs. Neil, who sat in the East, when it was her turn to bid. If she doubled four spades, her partner naturally would take it to mean a business double. Therefore a double was out of the question. wfuh(t shrdl cmfwy shrd sh shrdlu Mrs. Neil well realized that South had made the bid of four spades because he held one extremely weak suit and was endeavoring to keep his opponent from bidding that suit. Generally a pre-emptive bid in one major is made to shut out the other major. Therefore Mrs. Neil felt that perhaps she and her partner had a heart bid. However Mrs.

Neil could not be expected to bid five hearts with only a three-card heart suit over a four-spade bid. She held two strong minor suits. A natural overcall would be to bid five diamonds—but, remember, with her hand she could support hearts, or play ths hand at clubs or diamonds. Mrs. Nell now made use of a very fine bid—she overcalled with four no trump. Supposing that you held the West cards and this declaration came to you—would you not reason it out in the following manner? Certainly partner can not play a hand at four no trump when the South player has stated that all his strength lies in one suit—and that this suit is extremely long. Isn’t it natural to assume that she is asking you to name your best suit? In other words, she was afraid to double, fearing that instead of taking it as an informatory double you would interpret it as a business double. This overcalling of a pre-emptive bid with no trump is a natural bidding convention introduced last year and now generally used in all systems. Walley, sitting in the West, after his partner overcalled with four no trump, bid five diamonds. North passed. Mrs. Neil now knew that her partner held at least four diamonds. She holds six, and even though he holds only four diamonds to the eight spot, it would be necessary to find three diamonds to the queen in the South hand for her to lose a diamond trick. It looked as though the only trick that Mrs. Neil had to lose was a heart. If her partner holds three clubs, the fourth club can be ruffed in dummy, while if her partner holds four clubs it is only natural to expect the club suit to break. Therefore, Mrs. Neil now bid six diamonds. The hand is a spread, as only one heart trick must be lost. After the pre-emptive bid of four spades by South, it is indeed rathei difficult for East and West to get into a six diamond contract w r ith any other bid than the overcall of four no trump. However, while this overcall of no trump worked very well, be sure that you hold the proper type of hand before making that declaration. (Copyright. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.)
