MARSEILLES CRIME
REPORT BY HUNGARY. PUNISHMENT METED OUT. POLICE INEEEICJENCY. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 10, 0.45 a.m. GENEVA, Jan. 18. Claiming that the country has now carried out the obligations laid down by the League of Nations, a Hungarian memorandum reports that five police officials were punished, though it was impossible to establish a direct or indirect connection between the Hungarian authorities and the Marseilles crime assassinations.
The police had failed to efficiently control Croatian emigrants, it is contended. A British Official Wireless message says the Hungarian Government's memorandum denies responsibility for any connection w.th the assassinations. Certain minor Hungarian police officers, it was admitted, had not controlled Croat immigration with the necessary diligence. Two police captains had been dismissed and three policemen sentenced to imprisonment. Stricter measures for the control of foreigners and the issue of passports are promised. When the matter cr.me before the League Council, Mr R. A. Eden’s report asking Yugoslavia and the other members of the Council to communicate any observations on the Hungarian memorandum in writing to him as rapporteur was accepted.
