BUDAPEST, December 8 R,.-
Great relief was felt here tonight
as the mass deportation of Hun
garianS from Yugoslavia ceased.
although it was thought suspen-
sion of the evictlons was only
temporary
The cessation was ascribed by
Hungarian officials to fear by the
Belgrade government that further
expulsion would intensity adverse
world opinion and would prejudice
Yugoslavia's case against Hungary
before the League of Nations.

GENEVA, December 8.-Revision of
postwar treaties emerged today as
the broad, danger -fraught question
facing Europe's statesmen. and France
took her place squarely beside the Lit
tie Entente for preservation of the
territorial status quo
Italy, meanwhile, aligned herself
with her friend and ally Hungary, in
advocating equitable revision Of the
peace treaty as the best means of con-
serving the peace of Europe.
AS four of Europes big powers
England, France. Italy and Russia
joined to urge that the Yugoslav- Hun
garian friction growing out of the as
sassination of King Alexander of
Yugoslavia at Marseille October be
not allowed to disturb peace, the prob
lem of the peace treaties lifted its
threatening head behind that Central
European crisis.
Laval Voices Pledge.
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval,
speaking for France. said dramatically,
France stands beside Yugoslavia" in
this grave conflict" and repeated his
recent assertion before the French
Chamber of Deputies:
Whoever seeks to remove the from
tier stone troubles the peace of Eu-
rope"
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, the Italian
representative, whose government pre-
viously supported Hungarys defense
against Yugoslavia's charges she har-
bored Alexander's assassins, declared
revision is not terrorism
My country was the first to affirm
that the principle of the treaties must
be adapted to modern conditions as
the best means of conserving peace"
Aloisi said. but has always insisted
that adaptation must follow legal
channels
Aloisi in his address took no side
in the dispute, admitting it might
menace peace and declaring the
League must strive TO paclfy the dis
putantS.
Aside from the French support Of
the Little Entente's thesis. Yugoslavia
today secured little backing for her
contention that Hungary shared re-
sponSibility for the assassination Of
her King.
Although Capt Anthony Eden for
Britain. Baron Aloisi and Maxim Lit
vinoff for Russia. all agreed terror
ism must be curbed, they passed no
judgment on the Yugoslav- Hungarian
issue Laval, too, although maintain
ing stoutly Frances support Of her
Balkan ally, urged that the League
Council act to preserve peace.
ASSaSsins who slew Alexander,
Laval declared, sought to strike {
peace.
Saar Force Is Voted.
The Council earlier had approve
in secret session. Britain's suggestion
that an international force be dis
patched to keep order in the Saar
prior to the plebiscite, and had learned
that Benito Mussolini dispatched his
personally chosen representative, Maj.
Gen. Sebastian Visconti Prasca. to
help organize the Saar army.
The British Lord Privy Council. in
condemning terrorism, referred to the
abuse of the so-called right of asy-
lum," and said:
Britain does not tolerate the abuse
Of personal freedom, which consists of
employing or advocating the employ
ment of illegal action against consti-
tutional authority. whether at home
or abroad = =
The points raised are in the
League custody for the time being.
but the Leagues efforts cannot be
expected to come to fruition unless
there is determined effort on the part
of all states toward moderation in
word and deed"
Earlier Baron Aloisi, whose gov
ernment previously had announced its
support of Hungary in her defense
against the Yugoslav charges. praised
Hungary's honor and loyalty and
declared the League must strive to
pacify the diSputantS, admitting the
conflight might disturb peace.
Litvinoff, Soviet commissar for for
eign affairs, announced he must with
hold opinion concerning the merits
Of the question, but sharply scored
what he termed postwar terrorism.
Manuel Rivas Vicuna, the Chilean
delegate, moved that the League pre-
pare draft of an international conven-
tion, with suitable penalties, for re-
preston Of terrorism to be submitted
to the January session and adopted
at the next assembly of the League.
Council Sessions Adjourned.
Afterward sessions of the Council
were adjourned until Monday, when,
League officials expected, Nicolas Titu-
lescu, Rumanian foreign minister,
would protest vigorously on behalf of
the Little Entente, the lack of decided
support of Yugoslavia's plea.
A 13-page Hungarian memorandum.
answering Yugoslavias charge that
Alexander's assassins came from Hum
gary. was formally filed with the
League Council todav
