LONDON, December CP).-Arthur
Henderson, whose work as president
of the Disarmament Conference has
brought him much into the public
eye today was dodging inquiries as
to whether he had received official
notice of the Nobel Peace Prize award
today.
His son declined to give any infor-
nation except that his father was still

Red Cross Ready
To Make Inquiry

GENEVA, Dec. 7 G.N.SO The
International Red Cross may send
a commission to the Jugoslav-
Hungarian border to investigate
Hungarian charges that needless
cruelty is being exercised in ex-
pelling Hungarians from Jugo-
Slavia.
Charges Of terrorism were lev
eled by Hungary against Jugo-
slavla today as the result of ex-
pulsion of thousands of Hunga-
rians from Jugoslavia. The Hun
garian government has formulated
a request that the League of Ma
tions Council appoint a constitu-
tional committee to prepare a
general convention on terrorism
for consideration at it's January
session.
Capt. Anthony Eden, British
lord privy seal, and Pierre Laval,
the French foreign minister, con-
centrated today on averting a
flare-up in the Jugoslavian-Hunga.

taunted the Hungarian frontier
guards with provoking remarks.
The HungarianS and their of.
ticerS, rigidly obeying ironclad
orders from the government, held
their temper and ignored the
Jugoslavs.
After few minutes more of
trying to make the HungarianS
put up fight, the Jugoslavians
went back into their own terri
tory.
Leaning backwards in their ef-
1ortS to preserve peace in an
exceedingly precarious situation,
the government decided officially
to ignore the incident, not even
sending a protest to Belgrade.
A special meeting of the cabi-
net was summoned for today to
determine measures to cope with
the constant stream of refugees
pouring into the country from
JugoSlavia.
Hospitals and other institutions
all along the southern border were
being pressed into temporary ser.
vice to take care of the estimated
1000 eXiles who have already ar
rived on their home soil
Many of them are i'll, and most
have little money. Most of them
have lived in Jugoslavia for years,
and have no friendS-or relatives
here.
So far there has been no reply
from Belgrade to Hungary's Off
cial protest that Jugoslavia is dis
eliminating in ordering Hun
garianS out, while nationals of
the other. countries are allowed
to remain.
Denial Drafted
The Hungarian government has
drafted an official memorandum
to the League of Nations deny
ing Jugoslavian charges of re-
Sponsibility for the assassination
of King Alexander.
= The note deals with the charges
in detail, and in answer to each
denies any Hungarian completely.
In the meantime, the exodus
of hundreds of ragged and poverty
stricken Hungarians from Jugo-
Slavia was creating a situation
that was rapidly assuming more
end more serious proportions.
Scenes reminincent of the Bel
gian refugee columns Of 1914
were seen at important frontier
points, like Szeged and PEGS,
which reported that they were
already becoming overcrowded.
More ExileS Arrive
Six hundred more exiles ar
rived in Budapest this morning.
Most of them are peasants, and
many are Croats who, although
Hungarian in nationality. do not
speak a word of Hungarian, and
are not even aware of the reason
for the deportation.
With no homes to go to, no
friends nor relatives, and practi-
cally no money, they stood all day
around relief stations, bewilder-
edly shaking their heads and
struggling their shoulders help
1essly when asked a question in
Hungarian.
Charity Campaign On
A big charity campaign was
quickly set under way, and their
countrymen gave generously in
money, food and clothing to help
the refugees.
Official relief measures were
also organized.
Public buildings along the Dor.
der, including schools, hospitals,
and railway stations, have been
temporarily commandeered to
shelter the deportees.
At least 10000 more are ex-
pected in the next few days.

Mass Action of farmers stopped
the sale of a farm near Elbow
Lake here recently.
Joe Monson, of Elbow Lake, was
a delegate of the Farmers Holiday
Association at the Farmers Sec

would organize and fight to pro-
tect themselves against evietions
and foreclosures.
When Wesley Beaeh'a farm was
up for sheriff's sale at the court
house at Elbow Lake a crowd of
farmers gathered. The Judge, the
sheriff and the county prosecutor
we're also present.
Although there were no threats
it was quite obvious that the pend
ing sale was very unpopular witt
the farmers. Suddenly something
happened and the sheriff refused
TO act.
