out, corresponds with the time at which

PATERSON, N. j., January 90
Alderman Joseph King wants to
license Paterson speakeasies.
He said today that there are an
estimated TOO speaks" in town, and
that an annual license for each OF $3.50
would turn more than 100000 into the
city treasury.
The idea, he told the Board Of
Aldermen, yesterday, Is not original
with him. Several New Jersey cities
have been issuing licenses to speak
easies for as long as seven years. Even
Federal authorities, he said, have ap-
proved the idea.
The board, after hearing Alderman
Kings proposal, voted unanimously to
have the legal department prepare such
an ordinance.
There would be no conflict, King
said, with the prohibition law. The
speakeasy operators would be licensed
to sell beverages of only legal alcoholic
content. If they elected to sell
beverages of greater potency, he pointed
out, that would be their business. The

PARIS SEES LONG DELAY.
Question May be Held Up Until After

PARIS, January 20 P).-Prospects
for any broad settlement of the repara-
tions problem until after the French
elections in April or May appear remote
today.
The Government is awaiting the de-
cision of the British cabinet regarding
date for the proposed international
conference at Lausanne, but there was
some uncertainty here as to whether
that conference will be held at all.
In view Of the American attitude that
an extension of the Hoover moratorium
cannot be granted and that Europe
must reach an agreement before the
United States can participate further In
the debt negotiations, 1t is believed the
French government Is inclined to adj
journ the whole question until after the
elections.
Confidence Vote Delayed.
In some quarters 1t is believed that If
the Lausanne Conference Is held 1t WILL
be primarily for the purpose Of telling
Germany that France cannot act while
the United States refuses. In this case
the conference would be brief. At any
rate, it seemed unlikely that the meet
ing would open on January 70, because
of the postponement until tomorrow OF
