HUNGARY FREED

FROM MILITARY CONTROL AMBASSADORS COMMISSION TERMINATES. OCCASIONAL INVESTIGATION REMAINS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 24, 11.40 a.m.) Rugby, Aug. 23. Members of the League of Nations Council and the Hungarian Government have now received through the Secretary-General of tbe League a communication from the conference of Amabassadors regarding the termination of military control in Hungary. The communication states that after examining the report of the interAllied military commission of control on the fulfilment by Hungary of the military clauses of the Treaty of Tritnon, the Ambassadors acting on behalf of the Governments represented on the commission, have decided to terminate the work of the commission. The letter, which is signed by M. Briand. as President of the Conference of Ambassadors draws the League Council’s attention to the Control Commission’s reservations regarding tho application of the Hungarian recruiting laws and leaves it to the Council to draw such conclusions as seem advisable in the interests of general good feeling.

With the termination of the control commission in Budapest, military control by a resident commission, as established by the peace treaties, will have been raised in the four enemy countries of Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The only supervision in this respect to which they will henceforth be liable is such occasional investigation, as may be or dered by the League Council.

The League scheme for tbe supervision of armaments was approi X by tho Council last December and General Bonham Carter was nominated head of the commission of investigation for Hungary.—(A. and N.Z.)
