E . i ... * French Want Neideckers and Coles for Trial in Bank Failure. By the Associated Press. Police Commissioner Valentine of New York City and representatives of the French government yesterday asked the Supreme Court for the right to return B. Coles, George W. end Aubrey Neidecker to France to face charges in connection with fail ure of their Travellers Bank in Paris. Attorneys for Valentine and Charles De Ferry De Font Nouvelle, consul general of the French republic, ap pealed from a ruling last January 20 by the Second Circuit Court of Ap peals. which freed the Neideckers. The Circuit Court allowed them to avoid return to France by interpret ing a section of the 1909 Franco American extradition treaty. This provided for exchange of persons wanted by the two governments for certain alleged crimes, but added neither of the governments "shall be bound to surrender its own citizens.” The French government representa tive and Black told the Supreme Court that if this opinion was cor rect "an American citizen is free to commit in France all the crimes on the calendar; and if he wants to suc ceed in escaping to the United States no power on earth can punish him.” The Neideckers. brothers and na tive-born Americans, were described as having “fled” to the United States after their Paris bank "closed its doors.” On arrival here they were arrested by the New York police un der warrants sworn to by French offi cials. —-• Paris (Continued From First Page.) visers agreed that there would be no decision until they meet at Geneva Friday just before the League Council eession. The advisers said the experts will continue conferences through the re mainder of the day and probably to morrow. British advisers said Eden expected that the present exchange of views and two days of reflection would con vince the French that they should proceed cautiously in the demand for , sanctions against Germany which might lead to war. Gen. Louis Felix Maurin. minister cf war, presented a report to the gen eral staff last night showing that if more military classes were recalled to the colors that they, with the present troops, would form an army of 1,000, 000 men. which could take and hold the Rhineland. This theory was based on the premise that it be done immediately before the Germans were thoroughly fortified. French Army Prepared. The general staff was understood to contend that the Germany Army was still unprepared while the French Army was at its best. An authorita tive source said the general officers stated that, if there must be war, they preferred to have it now rather than a year or two hence, when Ger many would be fully ready. Ambassador Cerruti and his few Italian advisers did little more than listen during the conference discus sions. The Italian envoy was in a difficult position of desiring to side with France but being unable to advocate the withdrawal of troops from the Rhine land before negotiations since the same reasoning would require Italy to re move its troops from Ethiopia before peace talks through the League could be begun. An official communique, after listing the delegates, said that Flandin “made It clear that the object of the meeting ■was to exchange information and to define the situation, but no resolution will be proposed and no decision .will be taken before the League Council meeting.” Herriot Supports Stand. The government received the back ing of the powerful Radical-Socialist party in its stand against the German move in the Rhineland. Former Premier Edouard Herriot, leader of the party, indicated that he would prefer that the national elec tions set for the end of April be post poned, leaving the Chamber of Depu ties in emergency session so long as German troops remain in the Rhine land.

Wirephoto. arriving for the Locarno conference, asserted that his nation was ready to "go the limit,” informed sources re ported. in backing the French demand that, Britain take a stronger stand against the third Reich. French readiness to move for an easing of sanctions against Italy, and possibly for League reconsideration of whether Italy was the aggressor in Ethiopia, brought the aid of Italian Ambassador Cerruti for the campaign. Frankly dismayed by Eden's an nouncement to the House of Commons yesterday of his government's desire to | negotiate new treaties with Germany, French officials considered the chances of changing Britain's attitude to be slight. France made full use. nevertheless, of the argument that Britain's hes itancy to join in sanctions against Germany arose on the eve of League consideration of stronger penalties against Italy—proposed on British initiative. Calls Confidence Vote. At the same time, Premier Sarraut called for a manifestation of Frencn "National Union” in the crisis, through a vote of confidence from the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate Foreign Affairs Com mittee adopted virtually unanimously a report recommending ratification by the higher House of the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact—the treaty which Hitler interpreted as directed against Germany and on which he justified his Locarno violation. Britain’s “desertion” of France strengthened the Senators’ enthusiasm for the accord with Russia. They argued that if British aid was uncer tain, France must perfect her ring around the Reich. Government leaders predicted a greater majority ior approval or me treaty than would have been forth coming if Hitler had not denounced the Locarno pact, or if Britain had supported the French desire to “go the limit” against Germany. Sarraut Victory Seen. Ministers said Premier Sarraut, go ing before the chamber to make a government declaration and gain a vote of confidence, was certain of a majority in the movement to bury party differences and confront Ger many with a united France. When the representatives of Lo carno signatories met at the Quai d'Orsay this morning Flandin had the backing of an aroused France—and six other nations—in his negotiations with Eden for British support. The Polish Ambassador, Dr. Alfred Chlapowski. assured Flandin in ad vance that Poland intended to remain faithful to its obligations under the Franco-Polish alliance. Russia and the little entente (Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania) did like wise. Italy, too, was with France, although Premier Mussolini expected "something”—loosening of sanctions— for his support. The only weak link in the line-up against Germany—and an important one—was Britain's avowed desire to negotiate with the Reich, French officials said. Conciliation or Force? The conference of Locarno repre sentatives hinged on this question— should the Rhineland be evacuated and Germany be punished before new negotiations were undertaken, or should conciliation be attempted im mediately? In any event, French officials de clared they were convinced Britain must mediate between France and Germany. Premier Sarraut's earlier announce ment of refusal to consider Hitler’s offers for non-aggression treaties and an air pact, they said, made direct negotiations between Paris and Berlin impossible. France persisted, meanwhile, in its own precautions against any incidents along the Franco-German borders, fresh troops still pouring into the line of steel and concrete fortifications facing the newly-armed Rhineland front. KING EDWARD SEES LEADERS. Britain Supports Government Stand for Caution in Crisis. LONDON, March 10 04>).—Great Britain’s new King, Edward VIII. re ceived leaders of his government in audiences today while Britain assumed its familiar role of conciliator in the crisis arising from Germany's denun ciation of the Locarno pact.

With Britain back in the position it has occupied frequently since the armistice—that of intermediary be | tween bitter opponents—some informed j sources expressed belief that the great I est danger of a European disaster re i suiting from Germany's occupation of the Rhineland, on the French and Belgian borders, might already be passing. Eden Confers in Paris. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden went to Paris for a conference of rep I resentatives of signatories of the Lo i camo pact, bringing all his talents of tact and persuasion to bear against the difficult twofold task confronting him: 1. To cool France's eagerness for | strong punitive action against Ger many for its occupation of the Rhine land. 2. To obtain at least consideration of Adolf Hitler's proposals for new pacts, which accompanied his breaking of the old. Britain’s foreign secretary might be | embarrassed seriously in these efforts, ■ some sources believed, by his earlier | enthusiasm for application of sanc | tions against Italy. Difference in Situation, j Informed sources pointed out. how I ever, that there was a wide difference between actual aggression against a nation, for which Fascist Italy was be ing punished, and tearing up of a treaty, for which France sought pun ishment of Nazi Germany. In Germany's case, no shot has been fired and no blood spilled, they assert ed: a moral wrong was done, but not physical harm. The prospect of an outbreak of war | resulting from Germany's "invasion” j of its own territory on the left bank J of the Rhine was considered more re | mote in London, where the cool coun ] sels of elder statesmen were in com j mar.d. Strong home support for Prime Min ister Stanley Baldwin's government's I firm but conciliatory stand was ex | pressed in virtually all British quarters. LEAGUE DOUBTS SANCTIONS. i Council Invites Germany to Partici pate in Locarno Talks. GENEVA, March 10 (A3).—Brisith Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's address to the House of Commons, setting forth a conciliatory British stand in the Locarno pact crisis, created an impression in League of Nations quarters today that applica tion of sanctions against Germany was unlikely. League officials attributed great im portance to Eden’s declaration yes terday that Britain would ‘‘march with France and Belgium” if Ger many violated her frontiers, but saw a tacit warning that Britain would not approve drastic action for Ger many’s occupation of the demilitar ized Rhineland. This Impression w'as strengthened, League authorities said, by Eden’s statement that Britain was not dis posed to reject summarily Hitler's pro posals for a new security system after he broke the Locarno pact and Ver sailles treaty Saturday by sending his troops to the left bank of the Rhine. The League Council invited Ger many to participate in an examination of the Locarno dispute at Friday’s ses sion, called to hear the French and Belgian appeals against the German action. League sources looked eagerly to the capitals of Europe—particularly Paris where representatives of signatories to the Locarno pact were meeting—for further indications of what might now take the place of the old security sys tem. -• Tobacco Exports Up.

ANNAPOLIS, March 10,—Senators from Montgomery, Prince Georges and I six other counties indebted to the State ' Roads Commission conferred with Gov. Harry W. Nice this morning and j discussed a plan under which a $900, i POO bond issue would be floated to ! liquidate the overdrafts of those com munities. Under the plan, the money ad | vanced to the counties "in the red” I to satisfy the overdrafts in their ac | counts with the commission would be reduced over a period of years from lateral road gasoline revenue due those i counties. i I ouid supplement payments. It is provided that supplementary ! repayment of their loans could be j ! made by the counties by advancing ' additional payments from county bond ; issues if they so desire. Among those present were Senator j Stedman Prescott of Montgomery and ; Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer of Prince ; Georges County, president of the Sen ate. Gov. Nice distributed copies of an explanation of the plan and asked the 1 Senators to study it and be prepared | to discuss it at a later meeting. Heads I of County Commissioner Boards will be invited to attend the parley. Montgomery Owes $250,000. The overdraft in Montgomery's ac count at this time is approximately $250,000, which will be reduced to $180,752.11 after credits are made for the county's share of lateral road gas tax revenue this year. It is said that Prince Georges' overdraft is about $80,000. The Montgomery commissioners, not satisfied with the statement of their account, are considering having an audit made. They claim the over draft is largely the result of secondard road maintenance and construction carried out by the State Roads Com mission without local authorization.
