PARIS, January 31.-The evspaper
L'Oeuvrc asserted today that Germany
and Japan signed "a treAty Of friend
ship with elements Of q defensive al
lance" early this month. Denials OF
such . treaty have emanated from
both Berlin and Toxic.
The newspaper stated that as q re-
suit Of the alleged treaty, Nicholas

has been able to win over the British
government to his conviction that So
Wet Russia must be included in the
guarantees (which the Central Euro

L'Oeuvre stated that the recent in
terviews held by Konstantin Won Neu-
rath, the German foreign minister,
with King Edward, Prime Minister
Baldwin and Anthony Eden, foreign
secretary Of Great Britain, were not
favorable to Germany.
1.-The principal reason" said
L'Oeuvre, "is that - all three are
convinced that it is impossible to place
confidence in Germany concerning
any problem.
Baron Won Neurath, in fact, sys-
tematically refused to give any as.
surance Of long duration on any sub
ject, particularly the demilitarizet

Likening "new-fangled notions" to

that most Of what we call monetary

DEVALUATION FEAR CITED.

versity economist, in q statement today
said the significance Of dollar devalu-

in what effect 1t might have in the
future.
THE effects of devaluation have in
part been psychological, since this
move has certainly been an impol tant
contributing cause Of business un-
certainty" he said. "Devaluation Il
not responsible for the recovery which
we have so far experienced. Deval-
uation has not so far resulted in un-

Significance Of devaluation lies In the
impending dangers Of mismanagement
Of our monetary and credit machin-

If you are riding with a friend
and you notice that he apparently
is not familiar with the traffic re-
gulations, or that he is unaware
of the fact that his manner of driv-
ing is dangerous why not call his
attention to it.
You are indirectly protecting
yourself, you can do no harm, and
your calling his attention to these
actions may some day save him
from being involved in a serious
accident.
Remember, we are our brothers
keeper and the greatest joy in life
is helping others. What better way
could we help than to show our
friends how to drive an automo-
bile safely. Let him have the benz

Thos. G. Wilcox
To Run For Sheriff

The many friends and support
ers of former Sheriff Thomas c..
Wilcox, are enthused by the recent
announcement that he again will
be a candidate for that office. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Will
cox, a former police commissioner
of the city of Detroit, served as
Wayne County Sheriff in 1888 and
1884, and after a close race for re-
election was made the victim of a
recount. Mr.. Wilcox states that
one reason that he is in the race
is his conviction that he actually
was reelected in 1884, and that the
Supreme Court, to whom the mat
ter has been referred for decision,
will vindicate his belief.
Mr.. Wilcox while in office had
an extremely fine record as a pub
lie servant. He proved to be al
ways concerned with saving money
for the taxpayers, records at the
County Building showing that dur
ing the second year of his term
approximately 100000 was either
earned or saved by his careful adj
ministration of his office.
In an interview granted today
Mr.. Wilcox said, Il am also very
proud of the splendid record made
by my deputies in the important
duty of patrolling the outlying
roads of Wayne County. AS over
649o of the county is entirely out
side the jurisdiction of any city
or village this must be regularly
patrolled by the Sheriff.
There should at all times ex-
list perfect cooperation between
the Sheriff and the Prosecutor OF
the county and that same co-ope-
ration should be extended to all
peace and police officers in the
various cities and villages of the
county. During my tenure in Of
flee this condition did exist in the
highest degree and should l be re-
turned to office it will again be in
force.
II have made a careful study OF
the question of further reducing
costs of government by the posi-

No Decision Yet
In B e n n EFT
Extradition Case

Chicago-(A N P)-Although a
hearing was held Tuesday, no de-
cision has been rendered and prob
ably will not be until Gov. Henry
Horner returns from his vacation
on whether or not Sam Bennett, 90
year old sharecropper, will be re-
turned to Arkansas to stand trial
for allegedly trumped-up assault
charges.
The case was taken under adj
visement by Dewitt Billman, sec
rotary of the Illinois Legislative
Reference Bureau, after listening
to a number of witnesses at the
state capital in Springfield. Ben
nett, who Joined the recent strike
of the Southern Tenant Farmers
union, is sought by st. Francis
county officials but fears a lynch
ing if he is extradited to Arkansas.
Four lawyers declared Bennett
would be murdered if he were sent
back to Dixie. One represented
Bennett, two the American civil
Liberties league and the other the
Workers Right league.
The Rev. Claude Williams, Pres
byterian minister of Little Rock,
who with a prominent woman who
is a social worker Of Memphis, was
flogged severely by Arkansas
whites as they investigated reports
of a Negroes murder during the
recent strike, also testified in be-
half of Bennett. The minister said
he believed the sharecropper would
not get a fair trial if he were re-
turned South. H. L. Mitchell, white,
of Memphis, secretary Of the un-
ion, also spoke for Bennett.
A. NJ. Bradford, white prosecu-
tor seeking Benefits return, said
the farmer would be taken to Lit
tie Rock and placed under protec-
ton of state rangers. He declared
there had "never been any violence
against Negroes in this county.

This is the first time such
