FRANCE EXPECTED
TO JOIN JAPAN IN
CONDEMN! PACT
By inn ASSOCIATED PltEKS
Fiance will follow Japan in denun
ciation of the Washington naval limi
tations treaty of 1(122. it was relia
announced in Paris today.
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. Senator
Robinson said Japan has contemplated
further aegMsslve campaiens in China
in her effort to become the dominant
power in the Orient.
A congressional movement to in
crease America's fortifications in the
Pacific was disclosed in Washington
today as Emperor Hirohito in Tokyo
signed documents necessary for abro
gation of the Washington naval treaty.
Anthony ,T. Dimond, Alaskan dele
gate to congress, said he would press
for establishment of an inland air
base In Alaska and was confident of
receiving strong support.
Japan probably will notify Wash
ington officially of her abrogation de
cision Dec. 27.
Newspapers In Tokyo charged the
failure of trl-power conversations in
London to achlcvo results was a re
sult of American "obstinacy" and they
lauded Ilrltnin's attitude.
American naval delegates In Lon
don said they wero not surprised by
this view, since they hnd placed the
responsibility upon Japan because of
her Insistence upon tonnage equality.

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."

With business conditions slowly
improving with the gradual return
of confidence in Atuerica, business
men now ore realizing the necessity
of taking a more active, interest In
politics and government, with the
view of obtnlning better government
in thia country, it was declared Fri
day by W. C. Schuppell, Portland,
executive vice-president of the Ore
gon Muttinl Life insurance com
pany, who addressed the chamber of
commerce forura luncheon- at the
Del Rey cafe. .
Delegates to the convention of
the insurance company were special
guests and Howard Pickett, local re
presentative of the company, in
troduced the speaker.
"American business men can take
it," Mr, Schuppell declared, in com
menting on the way business was
recovering. "Now that the election
is over, people' are forgetting poli
tical gossip and are turning their
attention to business conditions with
the result that' an upward trend
is notable throughout the country."
Employment, too, is showing signs
of improvement, he said. He ment
ioned that one of the big. problems
in epmJoynient is "the mnn who was
able to work only during the morn
ing because in the afternoon he had
to carry a banner In the unemploy
ed pnrade." v '
Touching on the general trend
of the 'times, the speaker declnred
capitalism was not going into the
discard nor wns the' profit system
in danger of being eliminated.
"However, capitalism must make
some concessions and so must la-,
bor," he warned. - "The autocrntic
domination of groups must give 'way
to good sportsmanship and a con
sideration for the other fellow. We
must have some form ' of unem
ployment Insurance and old-oge pen
sions, though it will not be trie the
man in the street thinks it will be,"
he added. .
Snles trends along fho Pacific
coast were up in 19J4 and indications
are they will continue in this course
in 1035, he said. Life insurance snles
in the nation wero up 11 per cent
during 1034 as compared to 1033.
Stating that : in every depression
there has been some wsy out, the
speaker pointed out . that in 1807
we turned to railroad building. In
1003 and 1007 the automobile came
Into existence and Inter we turned
to highway building.
"In coming out of this depression,
I believe the home building campnign
inaugurated by the president will be
the way out," he said, "This plan
to re-house Americans bears the
mark of real fundamental recovery
and I believe the American people
should lend their wholehearted sup
port to the movement."
