HUNGARIAN YUGOSLAV
DISPUTE
Efforts To Create An Understanding
Genava, Dec. 9.
The Hungarian-Yugoslav dispute was the subject of lengthy con- versations between Mr. Anthony Eden and the Italian delegate to Geneva, Baron Aloisi. Mr. Eden subsequently met the French Min- Ister, M, Laval. There was also a meeting between the British and French legal experts,
It is understood that there were two very divergent viewpoints. France would like an immediate decision, believing that the longer the dispute lasts the more in- creases the risk of some unfortun- ate circumstance dragging Italy Into the dispute.
The British.view favours tem- porisation, arid objects to any at- tempt to rush the League, of Na- tions into a snap division....
Neither Yugoslavia, Czechoslova- kia, or Rumania are inclined to ac- cept this sober advice, and it is ex- pected that the Rumanian Foreign Minister, M. Titulescu, will make & strong. speech at to-morrow's meeting of the League Council which was adjourned at 3.15 p.m. to-day to allow the conversations to appease the somewhat heated atmosphere.

The Yugoslavs, it is understood, 'have demanded reference in a re-
solution regarding the responsibil- ity of certain Hungarian officials. but not the Government or the Hungarian nation.
Failing this, it is hinted that the Yugoslave will withdraw their ap- peal to the League and will seek satisfaction by breaking off all re- Istions with Hungary.-- Reuter.

Mr. Eden will continue his con- versations with the parties cerned to-morrow. The situation appears to be a little improved and it is practically settled that Mr. Eden will continue to act as rap- porteur... Reuter.
BETTER OUTLOOK
Geneva, Dec. 10.
A more hopeful atmosphere in the Yugoslav-Hungarian dispute prevails to-day as it is understood that progress is being made r the direction of a formula for composing the differences.
It is believed that Hungary will be urged to renew its investiga- tions into the allegations that certain officials encouraged the Yoguslav terrorists with requests that the Government punish those responsible.
