Tokyo, Sept. 9.
At a meeting for a discussion of copyright laws held today in the official residence of Home Minister, Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu, a. draft of a report to be submitted to the international convention of the Copyright Commission in Paris next month was adopted unanimously.
The report advocates "freedom of copyright." Reasons for Japan's proposal for freedom of copyright were set forth as follows.
1,- That the improvement of human culture can be encouraged by absorbing the cultures of both hemispheres; 2. That international cultural friend-hip can be improved by understand ing other countries by means of readin he literary products of other countries:
3. That the acknowledgement of freedom of copyright would not be duirimental to the interests of the original authors.
Persons interested in the matter were considering what attitude legal specialists msy take toward Japan's proposal regardless of whether it will be adopted by the convention.—Domei South dealt, with neither side yul-norable. The bidding: bonb 1 Spade Pass 2 No trump Pas Pass Pass Mohru Easr 2 Diamonds Pass 3 No trump Pass West opened the six of clubs, which was won by South's ten. It was quite safe for South to try for an extra heart trick, because at this point he would not risk his contract by so doing. He therefore led the seven of hearts, West putting up the heart ace on a spade shift. East played the queen and South won with the ace. South should now give West a trick with the king of clubs, for then South would be sure of two more club tricks, four diamond tricks and a spade in addition to the two tricks already won.
Both declarers, however, decided to sense of the word, individual citizens.
Mr. Lippmann finds that, in his experience, the more he sees of Europe, he more deeply convinced does he become that the preservation of freedom, in America and anywhere els depends upon maintaining and restoring, for the great majority of individuals; the economic means to run the diamond suit before giving ip a club trick When they had taken all four diamonds, an extra diamond trick was set up in East's hand. Now the club was led and West given a trick with the king; but when West led a heart East won yo more tricks with the king and jack and a fifth trick for his side remain independent individuals. He is of the opinion that the greatest with his last diamond, defeating the contract, evil of the modern world is the re-] duction of the people to a proletarian The Four Aces level by destroying their savings, by depriving them of private property, by making them the helpless em-Ployees of a private monopoly or of a government monopoly; So, Masaryk built securely from The Four Aces, most successful of s bridge teams, have been seven times during the five years they have played together, but ihey have one unusual distinction: they have never been beaten in the the heart's core outwards and it can be readily sensed, without any pretence to political prophesying, how such a people like the Czechs are going to fight for the preservation of their rights and liberties even if they have to sacrifice themselves in the bitter process, resting in the confid-final round of any tournament. This y be because they are less inclined to careless play with a championship at stake, or because a greater number of deals is usually played in final ro than in earlier rounds, creating a better test of skill The team's regular members are ence that the great democracies must David Burnstine, Oswald Jacoby, M. come into it for their own similar D.
