y LONDON, Sunday, Feb. g.
The folIo,Oing is the tert OF the
second Russian note to Norway
on the proposed North Atlantic
defense pact, as giDen by the
MoScoiD radio and heard here:
The Soviet government has &C
quainted itself with the reply of the
Norwegian government Of February
to its statement asking about the
attitude of Norway in the question
OF the Atlantic pact.
AS is known, in this statement
the Soviet government asked the
Norwegian government 10 explain
its attitude regarding the question
of an Atlantic pact, in particular
bearing in mind the presence of a
common frontier between the u. S.
S. r. and Norway, and asked also
whether the Norwegian government
was undertaking any obligations to
the Atlantic Alliance regarding the
establishment of air or naval bases
on the territory of Norway.
From the reply given by the
Norwegian government, it is clear
that as regards the question of par
ticipation Of Norway in the Atlantic
Union, it contends that the United
Nations has not yet become suf-
flciently strong for upholding the
peace and" security of all cotnltries.
Theteby.the NotEsgian aoyefnment
states that the Atlantic Ur1fon must
be regarded as incMdeda~among
other regional agreemehtssse ssenNsaged
by the UN charter and that it has
the aim of averting aggression.
Restricted Grouping.
The Soviet government does not
share this opinion of the Norwegian
government. as, - regards , the aims
and nature of the Atlantic Union
Inasmucfr as the Atlantic Union
is being created by a certain group
of great powers and is not aimed
at uniting all peaceful states but
is directed towards setting one
group Of countries against other
states, it is quite obvious that the
Atlantic Union is restricted group
ing of states which do not aim at
consolidating peace and interna-
tional security.
Inclusion OF Norway into the
grouping not only can not serve
the consolidation of Norway's Sc
curity, but on the contrary can
lead to Norway being involved in
the policy of particular grouping
OF powers pursuing far-reaching
aggressive aims.
The Soviet government can not
agree with the statement Of the
Norwegian government that the
Atlantic Union Is being created in
accordance with the aims of the
Charter of the United Nations. 1t
Is known that the initiators Of that
union are resorting to such argu-
ments. but one can not refute the
fact that in reality the Atlantic
Union. Is being created outside and
in circumvention OF the U. N. and
serves the interests OF the aggressive
policy OF certain great powers.
Assurances Cited.
In its reply the Norwegian gov
ernment gives an assurance that
Norway will never assist a policy
with aggressive aims and it will
not permit the use Of Norwegian

nent inside the framework of the
U. N. Charter and that 1t has the
aim "of averting aggression"
"The Soviet government does not
share this opinion of the Norwegian
government as regards the aims and
nature Of the Atlantic Union," the
Russian reply said.
Statement Held insufficient.
Russias note continued:

ernment gives an assurance that

ritory in interests of such a policy"

territory IN the interest Of such
policy.
The Soviet government takes note
of this statement of the Norwegian
government, although it considers
this statement insufficient.
The Soviet government cannot
overlook the circumstance that the
Norwegian government has failed
to give a clear reply to the question
Of the Soviet government as to
whether the entry of Norway into
the Atlantic Union will lead to Nor
way undertaking obligations as re-
CARDS the establishment of air or
naval bases on Norwegian territory.
It is known. however, that draw
ing of small countries into this
union has precisely the aim of using
their territories for the establish
ment of such military bases which,
in this case, Is of particular sig
nificance for the Soviet Union, since
Norway and the USSR are neigh
bors with a common frontier.
The reply of the Norwegian gov
ernment says that Norway will not
enter any agreement with other
states committing Norway to grant
them military bases on Norwegian
territory as long as Norway is not
subjected to an attack or threats of
attack. .. ,-
a. Threat OF Attack Denied.
This statement means that any
provocational rrmors or hastily
concocted falsifications about the
threat of an attack against Nor
way would suffice to make Norway
grant Norwegian territory for mill
tary bases and armed forces of for
eign countries at any time includ-
ing the present peace time.
Ia the statement of the Nor
wegian government there is a sug-
gestion that a threat of attack could
emanate from the Soviet Union.
Such a suggestion is void of any
foundation. since the Norwegian
government has no justification or
ground for doubling the good neigh
borly intentions of the Soviet Union
as regards Norway which excludes
any possibility of attack.
It is known to the Norwegian gov
ernment that the Soviet Union has
always adopted q friendly attitude
towards Norway and during the
years of the Second World War 1t
contributed its share in the cause
of Norway's liberation from Fascist
invaders.
In this connection troops of the
Soviet Union were withdrawn from
Norwegian territory voluntarily and
even earlier than the Norwegian
government itself had desired it.
If, however, the Norwegian gov
eminent still doubts the good
neighborly intentions of the USSR
towards Norway, the Soviet gov
ernment, In order to eliminate any
doubt as to the intentions of the
UsSR, proposes to the Norwegian
government the conclusion of a non-
aggression pact with the USSR, and
thus to put end to any doubts.

Norway said the pact would be

Norway told Russia in her note

strength to maintain peace and
security for all nations but that
this hope had not materialized.
Caring for her own security, the

Mutual Defense Issue
Barred in Proposed
Council Of Europe
By the Asseeiotsd Prsss

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The nve Brus-
sells Pact Allies disclosed tonight
that The proposed Council Of Eu-
rope"-the continents first inter-
national parliament-would side
step the explosive issue Of common
defense.
A communique issued by repre-
sentatives of Britain, France, Bel
sium, the Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg sketched broad outlines of the
proposed council. 1t will be divided
into key committee OF ministers
and a consultative assembly with
advisory powers.
Move to Bar Red Criticism.
The communique said discussion
Of common defense matters would be
barred. This was interpreted as
q move to forestall Soviet criticism
OF q European parliament by leav-
ing the problem of mutual de-
Tense to the North Atlantic de-
fense pact now being discussed by
Western European powers.
The communiQue, issued after
three.day meeting of the Brussels
treaty permanent commission, made
only limited recommendations for
the two organs of the proposed
council
Final conclusions. the communi-
que said, must wait for a con-
ference of the Brussels Pact powers
with other European countries that
will be- invited TO join.
Italy has already informally ex-
pressed her willingness to join.
Other countries that probably will
be invited include Fire, Norway
Denmark and Sweden.
Main Recommendations.
The proposal to form a Council
Of Europe came last week during a
meeting of the foreign ministers
of the five Brussels Pact powers.
They turned the job of arranging
details over to the Brussels treaty
permanent commission. Main rec
ommendationS of the commission as
announced in the communique were
l. The committee of ministers
would consist of one minister from
each member country. The COM
mittee could discuss all questions
OF common concern to member
countries with the exception OF ques-
tions relating to national defense"
The committee would also be re-
sponsible for preparing the work
OF the assembly"
2. The consultative assembly, to
meet once year, would act in a |
deliheratiVe capacity and would |
make recommendation TO the COM
mittee Of ministers" It would have
mo legislative or constituent
powers"
Russians Charge Plot.
These outlines were agreed on
by the i've foreign ministers last
week and were made known by
informed sources then. The only
surprise in the communique was
the decision to keep mutual defense
completely outside thsscope Of the
EuropeansCouneil. sss~gs
Sincs sthe decision rUxet up a
Council of Europe, Russian leaders
have criticized moves toward West
ern unity as plot against the
Soviet Union and her satellite bloc.
BY excluding defense from the
Councils powers, the Western Union |
plannerS hope to make &C easier |
for tfses Scandinavian powers to
join witf1aut drawing pressure from
Russia, one informed source said.
