Partial Text of Soviet Note

A partial tert of an unofficial
American translation OF the ne1o
Russian note, as made available
at the State Department, fol-
loUS:
In connection with the note OF
| the Government of the United
States of America of March 25,
the Soviet government considers
it necessary to state the following
.. The urgency of the conclu-
sion of the peace treaty with Ger
many creates the necessity that the
governments of the u. S. S. r.,
~. S. A., England and France take
immediate measures for the
unification of Germany and the
formation of an alderman gov
ernment.
In this connection the Soviet
government considers it necessary
that the governments of the U. S,
S. R., United States of America,
England and France without de-
lay discuss the question of con-
ducting free all-Germany elections
as was suggested earlier.
AS regards the suggestion in
connection with the future free
all-German elections, regarding
checking by the U. N. commission
of the existence of conditions for
such elections, this suggestion is
in contradiction with the u. N.
charter which, in accordance with
Article CVII, excludes interference
by the U. N. in German affairs.
Such checks could be carried out
by a commission formed by the
-four powers fulfilling occupation
functions in Germany. =.
Would Restrict Coalitions.
| In the Soviet draft of the bases
of a peace treaty with Germany
lit is said:
Germany obligates itself not to
enter any kind of coalition or
military alliances directed against
any power which has taken part
with armed forces in the war
against Germany"
The Soviet government sug-
gests that such proposals are in
accord with the interests of the
powers fulfilling occupational
functions in Germany and of
Ineighboring powers. and. in equal
measure with the interests of Ger
many itself, as a peace-loving and
democratic government. In such
suggestion, there is no inadmis-
sible limitation of the sovereign

rights of the German govern
ment. But this suggestion also
excludes the inclusion of Germany
in any one or other group of
powers directed against any kind
of peace-loving state.
In the Soviet draft regarding
the peace treaty with Germany it
is said: Germany will be per-
mitted it's own national armed
forces Gland, air and seal, neces-
sary for the defense CT the coun-
try"
Cite Japanese Treaty.
AS is known, the Soviet Govern
ment introduced similar sugges-
tions also regarding the draft
peace treaty with Japan. Such
suggestion is in accord with the
principle of national sovereignty
and equal rights between govern
ments. It is impossible to imagine
such a position whereby Japan
would have the right of its ma
tional armed forces designed for
the defense of the country. but
Germany would be deprived of this
right and would be placed in a
worse position. ..
Regarding German frontiers,
the Soviet Government considers
quite sufficient and definitive the
provisions in this matter of the
Potsdam conference, which were
accepted by the Government of
the United States of America, as
we'll as the governments of U. S.
S. r. and Great Britain with,
which France associated itself.
Propose New Discussions.
The Soviet government pro-
poses anew to the Government of
the United States of America to
enter, together with the govern
ments of England and France,
Into discussions of the peace treaty
with Germany and also the ques-
ton of the unif1cation of Germany
and the creation of an all German
government. The Soviet govern
Iment does not see the basis for
delay to the decision of these ques-
ItionS.
It is just now that the question
lis being decided whether Ger
many will be re-established as a
united. independent. peace-loving
state entering into the family of
peace loving peoples of Europe or
whether the division of Germany,
and connected with it the threat

DR.. Gottschall said.
According to Dean Noe, the
Californian knew for years he

Noe added, DR.. Gottschall was not

Legend has it that the original
ring was worn by the wise mon
arch during his reign over the
Israelites 1000 years before Christ.
Apparently it was lost with time.
But Dean Noe. who said the
ring is a restoration, said
nothing, is ever lost. Its all in

Dean Noe began research II
years ago. He said he got some of
the information from publications,
but mostly by long and prayerful
meditation.
He added legend Is history
which has not been verified. But,
he said. there are as many his
torical references to Solomon's
signet ring as there are to Jesus,
and these, he said. are sufficient.
