RUMANIA AND HUNGARY
NO SETTLEMENT REACHED LEAGUE SITTINGS END (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian P.A.—United Service) GENEVA, Saturday. The sitting of the Council of the League of Nations has concluded. The British Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain, questioned the utility of the proposed wireless station for the League in times of crisis. He said it would normally be run at a loss. It was decided to refer the matter to the Technical Committee. The report on the dispute between Rumania and Hungary revealed the fact that no settlement had been reached. The Council again adopted a motion inviting the parties to further discussions. Count Apponyi opposed the motion. A dramatic development followed. Count Albert Apponyi was leaving the room, when Mr. Titulescu, Rumania, signed to him to remain. The latter then read a proposal for a direct agreement suggesting that Sir Austen Chamberlain should arbitrate as regards compensation to the Hungarian optants, his decision to be binding on both countries. Count -Übert Apponyi promised to give the proposal careful examination. The president said the Council now washed its hands of the affair, but hoped an agreement was possible.
