B tha Assoclated Press GENEVA, December 8. — France dramatically resumed discussion of the Central European conflict before the League of Nations Council today with a declaration of Foreign Minis- ter Pierre Laval that “in this grave affair France stands beside Yugo- slavia Amid an impressive silence in the Council chamber, Laval said that in striking King Alexander “it was peace they sought to strike.” “It was the work of Alexander they sought to destroy,” he continued dra- matically. “This work subsists and depends upon us as the Council of the League of Nations to see that peace shall not be placed in peril.” Alludes to Saar Question. Laval, co-operating with the great | powers of Europe in efforts to prevent the Yugoslav-Hungarian dispute from becoming a major crisis, demanded that the League of Nations justify the high confidence reposed in it. Turning to the Saar question, the French foreign minister, alluding to what he called the sudden decision to send international forces into the area, said this indicated that the League, in neutralizing the material | forces of its members as posses was able to place obstacles before the dis- rupting of peace and order. “Today it is a matter of applying the League's high moral authoritv to | to give Yugoslavia that satisfaction which she is entitled to draw from th~ outrage at Marseille the lesson that international solidarity must render impossible in the future similar crimes,” Laval said. Cites Yugoslav Charges. He recalled that Yugoslavia seeks to prove that political refugees from that country were able to create a terrorist organization upon Hungarian territory with the complicity of Hun- garian authorities, which was even engaged in military exercises. Laval declared the Council would find 1n the League Covenant itself the directing principle needed to accom- plish its work of justice and peace. He said this was contained in article 10, under which members undertook to respect and preserve the territorial integrity and political independence of all the others Laval then recommended & new international arrangement for the ef- fective repression of political crimes and said his government reserved the right to submit concrete propositions. The League resumed its efforts to bring peace in the tense Yugoslav- Hungarian situation with the threat of “war” to defend the integrity of the Little Entente echoing in its ears. Dr. Eduard Benes, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia, provided a sensa- tion at yesterday's session in his dec- laration that the nations of the Little Entente — Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia—were prepared to fight for their unity on the battlefield if the occasion should arise. Committee to Be Named. After today's session has given op- portunity for further exchanges of opinion, the Council was expected to name a committee to draw up recom- mendations for solution of the Balkan crisis. ‘The formal issue before the Council was Yugoslavia's charges that Hun- gary was implicated in the assassina- tion of King Alexander because it had harbored the band of interna- tional terrorists who plotted his death. | Extreme precautions were taken to- | day at the League Palace to protect | statesmen attending the Council ses- sion against any possible terroristic activities. The building was swarm- ing with detectives, and photographers were refused admission to the Council chamber, reportedly because it was feared firearms might we concealed in a camera. Officials denied that the restriction was made for this reason. An international conference on methods of combating terroristic activ- ities was regarded as a possible out- come of the Council’s deliberations. An international agreement to fight bands of assassins was advanced by Tewfik Rushdi Bey, the Turkish dele- ate. Voicing his approval of such an agreement, Dr. Benes said “if such a treaty existed today between the Little Entente and Hungary, the terrorist acts of which Yugosldvia was & victim would make Hungary the aggressor and the Little Entente would have the right to defend themselves by their armed forces.” The assassination of Alexander be- fore the formation of the League, Dr. Benes said, would have meant that war between Yugoslavia and Hungary would have been a “dolorous and hor- rible reality. Plot Seen in America. Denying his country’s complicity in the assassination, Tibor Eckhardt, ‘Hungarian delegate, asserted the King's death was plotted not in Hungary, but in America. He later said that he had been informed the Yugoslav ruler had ‘been “sentenced to death” in meetings of Croats in Youngstown, Ohio, and Buenos Aires. The Council was scheduled to re- sume conslderation of the Balkan dis- pute at 3:30 pm. (9:30 a.m., Eastern standard time).

December 8.—Mrs Helen Gillis, 22-year-old widow of the slain gangster, George “Baby Face” Nelson. was removed secretly last night from the Dane County jail to the Federal prison at Milan, Mich., to serve a year and a day for viola- tion of probation. The young widow had been sen- tenced to Alderson, W. Va., prison by Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone, but Federal agents announced at the last minute that she would be taken to Milan instead. Officials refused to say at what time the youthful prisoner left last night or how she was removed to Milan, but it was understood the trip was made by automobile. Mrs. Gillis pleaded guilty last May to the technical charge of harboring John Dillinger and Tommy Carroll in the north woods of Wisconsin.

League officials expressed pride that the organization had now become im- plemented with real power to enforce peace in Europe. They heard with satisfaction the statement of Viscount Stanhope, British undersecretary of state for war, which was construed as signifying that England accepted the | idea of “practical sanctions.” Geneva learned that England was | considering ‘the possibility of sending | tanks and machine guns as its con- | tribution to the supervision of the Saar plebiscite.

Adopting a hands-across-the-sea at- titude, senatorial investigators of the munitions business have pledged full co-operation today to the British Par- liament if it decides to sift the trage. “We stand ready to assist the Brit- ish in any way we can if requested,” Chairman Nye said last night in dis- cussing the agitation in England for an inquiry by Parliament. “We would heartily welcome such a probe and feel that it would be very useful in the international movement to brinj the munitions traffic under control.” Nye said there was much informa tion in the committee files that should prove invaluable to the British. “Hardly a day has passed that there has not been reference to British mu- nition makers.” he asserted. with our own makers, and we have a fairly good record of the business of larger British concerns in so far as they affected external matters." Offers U. S. Data. Nye suggested the committee had much unpublished material that would, if made available to Parlia- ment, make a “whitewash” difficult “I plainly recognize.” Nye said “that the British investigation would have to proceed differently from ours. I personally, however, am hopeful there will be an inquiry there as well, and you may be assured we will co- operate in any way we can, even to the extent of making our own rec- ords available to their investigators.” It was disclosed today that several British members of Parliament are on the mailing list of the Senate Committee to receive copies of all hearings. The committee adjourned yesterday for the week end. Senator Nve has departed to speak tonight at Buffalo University. while Senator Pope, Demo- crat of Idaho planned to debate the iquesunn “Are Munition Makers War Makers?” with Army officials at a Poreign Policy Association meeting in Boston this afternoon. Chemical Revelations. A large-scale attempt to show ir- regularities in munitions sales was promised by committee members for early next week when it proceeds with its inquiry into the chemical industry, alleged efforts of munitions dealers to block restrictive legisla- tion through lobbying and a further investigation into munition sales in South America. Munitions makers, who have vigor- ously defended the conduct of their business and denied bringing any undue influence to bear. hit back yes- terday at a suggestion that the Gov- ernment should control chemical and munitions factories to eliminate abuses. A proposal for Government owner- ship had come from Senator Nye. K. K. V. Casey. military sales manager for the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Corp., said Government ownership would mean more munitions, not less, and Irenee du Pont quoted Woodrow Wil- son to the effect that the United States, profiting from the lessons of the World War, should help the American chem- ical and dye industry to develop, « Patent Pact Discussed. Dr. Fin Sparre, du Pont chemist. suggested ironically that the Govern- ment should also take over the farms which produce the raw materials for explosives. Maj. Casey produced a let- ter from abroad tending to show that a Government monopoly in arms man- ufacture would result in increased pro- duction. WRIT FOR SIMON. British Foreign Secretary Is Under Fire. LONDON, December 8 (#).—It was announced unexpectedly today that a writ has been issued in behalf of Sir John Simon, British foreign sec- retary, in respect to statements that he was interested in armament firms and that his conduct of British for- gn affairs was thereby affected. This brief announcement from au- thoritative quarters was all that was available for the moment in what appeared to be a sensational develop- ment in the proposed British inquiry into the manufacture of arms. (While the exact nature of the writ issued in behalf of Sir John Simon could not be determined from London advices, it was considered probable the action was preliminary to libel proceedings.) —_— AIRMAIL PILOT DIES IN MISSOURI CRASH sas City-Chicago Plane Falls.

Persons protesting against the limited plan fostered by the Traffic Advisory Council and Traffic Director William A.
