Text of Russian Note

government served as a signal for
gross invasion of Carpathian Ruth
enia by Hungarian troops and for
violation of the elementary rights of
its population.
Seventh, in view of the above, the
Soviet government cannot recog-
nize inclusion of Czechia and also,
In one form or another, of Slovakia
into the German empire to be legiti-
mate and in conformity with gen.
orally accepted standards of inter-
national law and justice or the prin-
ciple of determination of ma
tionS.
Eighth, in the opinion of the
Soviet government. the actions of
the German government, far from
eliminating any danger to universal
peace, have, on the contrary, created
and enhanced this danger, violated
political stability in Central Europe,
increased elements of alarm already
previously created in Europe and
dealt fresh blow to the security
of peoples.
I have the honor to ask you to
convey the above to your govern
ment.
The note was addressed to the
German Ambassador in Moscow,
Count Friedrich Werner Won der
Schulenberg.

city was waiting anxiously for re-

MOSCOW, March 20-Although
The Nazi steamroller advanced last
week to within several hundred
miles of the Soviet Russian border,
Moscow has remained as usual one
OF the calmest capitals in the world.
Soviet citizens learned last night
that their government had refused
to recognize Adolf Hitler's absorp-
ton of Czecho-Slovakia and had
condemned it as arbitrary, violent
and aggressive" There was no hint
of panic at the near approach Of
German troops.
Vice Defense Commissar L. z.
Mekhlis prediction was recalled as
especially significant today. In a
recent speech he said that any at
tempt to invade Soviet Russia would
result only in multiplying the num-
ber of Soviet republics" and added:
Comrades! The time is not far
of when our armies-international

mates them--ansWering insolent
. enemy attacks, will help the work.

throw off the Fascist yoke, free
them from the capitalists and
iquidate capitalist surroundings"
Much Diplomatic Activity.
In other words, the Soviet Union
has no objection to cooperating
with other countries against an ag-
gressor. But if the Soviet Union
has to fight single handed against
an aggressor, then so much the
worse for the aggressor and the
principles Re represents.
Despite the outward calm there
was much diplomatic activity. A
footnote to the situation was given
by the big masquerade ball of Ital-
ian Ambassador Augusta Rosso
There were colorful costumes, cham
pagne, gaiety-and furtive CONVEX
sations among diplomats in every
secluded corner.
Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit
vinof did the Lambeth Walk with

after another with various ENJOYS.
Once an attache of the German
Embassy appeared waving a docu-
ment and asking, Where is the

The note added that ''the above
remarks also refer in their entirety
to the change in the status of
Slovakia, subordinating the latter
to the German empire, which was
not justified by any expression of

No more will "Edda" stockings

stores in Berlin and Hagen imme-
diately advertised "Edda" stock
