and the governments of the United
States of America and the French
Republic, dated September 26-27, as
follows:
The issue between the Soviet gov
ernment and the western occupy
ing powers is, therefore. not that OF
technical difficulties in communica
tions nor that of reaching agreement
upon the conditions for the regula-
ton of the currency for Berlin. The
issue is that the Soviet government
has clearly shown by its actions that
it is attempting by illegal and coer-
Give measures, in disregard of its
obligations. to secure political OBJ
jectives to which it is not entitled
and which it could not achieve by
peaceful means. 1t has resorted to
blockade measures: it has threat
ened the Berlin population with
starvation, disease and economic
ruin: it has tolerated disorders and
attempted to overthrow the duly
elected municipal government OF
Berlin. The attitude and conduct
of the Soviet government reveal
sharply its purpose to continue its
illegal and coercive blockade and its
unlawful actions designed to reduce
the status of the United States, the
United Kingdom and France as oc
cupying powers in Berlin to one OF
complete subordination to Soviet
rule, and thus to obtain absolute
authority over the economic, polit-
ical and social life of the people OF
Berlin, and to incorporate the city
in the Soviet zone.
Soviet Created Situation.
THE Soviet government has there
by taken upon itself sole response
bility for creating situation, IL
which further recourse to the means
Of settlement prescribed in Article
33 of the Charter of the United
Nations Is not, in existing clrcum
stances, possible and which consti-
tutes a threat to international peace
and security. In order that inter-
national peace and security may not
be further endangered, the govern
ments of the United States. the
United Kingdom and France, there
fore, while reserving to themselves
full rights to take such measures as
may be necessary to maintain IN
these circumstances their position
in Berlin, find themselves obliged
to refer the action of The Soviet
government to the Security Council
of the United Nations"
"3. Accordingly. the Government
of the United States requests that
the Security Council consider this
question at the earliest opportunity
Accept, excellency, the assurance
of my highest consideration.
