Yugo-Slavia may be obliged to quit the League of Nations unless that body brings in a resolution of censure for Hungary's alleged complicity in the plots of Croatian terrorists which culminated in the murder of King Alexander at Marseilles, it was stated by M. Boguljub Yevlitch, Foreign Minister for Yugo-Slavia, in private conversations with members of the League Council to-day,-United. Press.
Earlier, Reuter reports said that though Yugo- Slavia was not demanding that the Government or nation of Hungary should be blamed, she did insist upon the responsibility of certain officials. If she could get no satisfaction from the League she would be forced to break off all relations with Hungary and seek a remedy in his direction, it was stated.
BRITAIN INTERVENES
Geneva, Dec. D.
The increasingly dangerous dis- pute between Hungary and Yugo. Slavia, an outgrowth of the as sassination of King Alexander by Croatian plotters, was the subject of lengthy conversations to-day between Mr. Anthony Eden of Britain and Baron Aloisi of Italy. Mr. Eden subsequently met M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, here. There were also conversations between the British and French legal experts Geneva.

it is generally conceded here that French sympathies are with the Yugo-Stays and that tallan interests are tied up with those of Hungary.)
The British view, as opposed to the French, is for temporisation. Britain objects to any attempt to rush the League of Nations into a snap decision. The involved arguments on both sides require the closest and most open-minded study, the British feel.

The unusual activity, since Thursday, of New Zealand's soli. tary active volcano, Ngauruhos, North Island, culminated yester- day in a magnificent and awe- some display when, with dramatic suddenness a huge column of thick, black smoke shot up from the centre of the crater, and was followed at intervals of a few seconds by twenty similar columna.
