The slop was contemplated, an au thority said, to place Frnnce on rec ord as opposed to the "parity" system set up hy the treaty. British and American source in London heard tho news with surprise. It was explained that both Great Britain and tho United States had received assurances some time ago that France, whatever Kb objections to the treaty, would permit Japan to assume the full responsibility for its termination. A sugsested Anglo-American naval accord received tho endorsement of Benator.Joseph T. Robinson of Arkan cas, senate majority leader.

BEER TAXES STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) now collecting this tax, facing the possibility of making big refunds In tho event the practice is declared il legal, desire that the matter be set tled as soon as possible, it was said. Zoning Plan Questioned Therefore, the resolution for legis lation making such practice legal was adopted. Similar resolutions weTc adopted at other regional conferences sponsored by tho league In Oregon.1 Another phase of the beer uestion, that concerning zoning, was brought up at the informal conference Thurs day afternoon when City Attorney Calkins pointed out that Eugene was having trouble with beer parlors on Park street. Herman Kehrli, director of the bureau of municipal research at the nnlvcrsity, declared this mut ter was being tested in Portland where tho legality of establishing re stricted aoncs adjacent to parks was being questioned. Eugene faces another zoning ques tion, that concerning the university aone established by the council when repeal came in, it wns pointed out While there are now some dealers selling beer in this zone, it Is be cause they were in possession of slate licenses when the lone was ordered and it was not considered desirable to attempt to revoke these licenses. Ed Morris, supervisor of this district for the state liquor commission, said the commission preferred not to revoke licenses already Issued except for cause, such as infraction of local laws or the Knox lnw Itself. Action Up to Council As a result, the question now arises as to whether the commission would grant licenses inside the university sono or whether they should be re fused. Morris indicated this matter was squnrely .up to the council since tho commission would grant or reject licenses upon recommendation of the city council. While university officials indicated Friday they would make no prote.it if beer licenses were granted, inside the aone, T")r. George Virion, chairman of the police committee, said in nil likelihood the council would refuse to recommend licenses in the jsone whh the result that those places which now sold beer would he unable to renew their licenses and no others could obtain a license. "We have had ronsideriiblcprcssure brought to bear on us from citizens of the city, seeking to prevent beer being sold 111 the university none," llr. Siuinii said, "so unless we find a change In this sentiment, no licences will he recommended there." Radio Programs FRIDAY PROGRAMS KORE, Eugene 4 p. nv.
