Geneva, Dec. 9.

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 Yevtitch, 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. 0.

The increasingly dangerous dis- pute between Hungary and Yuga- 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 at Geneva.

It is understood that, among the Powers, there are two niost divergent viewpoints. France, on

hand, would like an im-. the one mediate decision, believing the longer the dispute lasts the more it lacreases the risk of some un- fortunate circumstance arising: which would drag Italy into the dispute.

(It is generally conceded here that French sympathies are, with the Yugo-Slavs and that itallan: 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 'ana decision. The involved. arguments on both sides require the closest and most-open-minded: study, the British feel,

Singapore, Dec. 10.

The mystery of the report- ed Japanese plot to secure. information regarding the Singapore defences remains. deep and dark to the general public. Officials will not speak of the matter..

Although authorities are main taining the closest silence, the general version of the reports of the discovery of a Japanese espionage ring here is that police unearthed a plot to secure very secret information regarding, the icfonces, of Singapore, the naval and air bases, and the Army's land fortification developments on the most north-easterly point of the island.
