Anglo-Chinese Treaty Reported By Japanese
Preparing For War In Far East
A Domei message from Shanghai states that relinble Chinese sources have revealed that negotiations for a sceret Anglo-Chinese military pact are proceeding in Chungking between the British Ambassador, to China and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
It is reported by Domei from Hanoi that the entire staff of the Thai Consulate at Saigon has left for home, after closing Its doors last Friday, and that all Thailanders have evacuated Indo-China. It is also reported that Thai troops twice crossed the Indo-Chinn border on Friday and attacked Polpet, in Cambodia, which town was also machine-gunned by low-lying planes.

HE TEACHES TYRES
NOT TO SKID
THE famous tread-design of
Goodyear tyres is much more than a neat, handsome arrange- ment of sharp diamond blocks of stubborn rubber.
It's the safest troad-design in all the world!
That design didn't just happen. It's the result of hundreds of ex- periments and depends upon such things as the size and shape of tho spaces, riding ribs, and dia- mond blocks in Goodyear's sure- gripping tread.
Safely, long-wear, and sure trac- tion are the first consideration of the scientists and engineers who work in Goodyear's laboratories -the finest rubber development laboratories in the world.
Not until a new tyre satisfies all these requirements can it earn that little blue and yellow flag that you see on the sidewall of every Goodyear tyre.
No matter which Goodyear tyre you select, you get the most for your money at the price you pay. Fit a full set of new Goodyears now--and join the happy millions who always choose Goodyears.
GOODYEAR CENTER TRACTION TREAD-provides, sure-footed traction, maximum protection against skids in all directions."
THICK, BROAD, TOUGH TREAD—gives long smooth - rolling, trouble-free mileage.
