Tert Of a note to the United
States from the Soviet Union
as distributed today by Tass.
the official Soviet neps
agency.
The Ministry of Foreign Af-
fairs of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics presents its
compliments to the Embassy of
the United States of America
and on instructions from the
Soviet government states the
following:
The Soviet government has
more than once called the at
tention of the United States
Government to the unlawful
and impermissible intervention
by the Federal Republic of
Germany (FRG) in the affairs
of West Berlin.
It is common knowledge that
West Berlin does not form part
of the Federal Republic of Ger
many and that it cannot fall
within the competence of It's
authorities. This is also ac-
knowledged by the governments
of the Western powers.
Nevertheless, the Govern
ment Of the United States did
not take proper measures to cut
short the provocative activity
of certain FRG quarters in
West Berlin.
Activity Stepped Up
With the connivance of the
occupation agencies of the
three powers in West Berlin
this activity, far from discon-
has Of late been
sharply stepped up, especially
in connection with the pro-
posal for an immediate peace
with Germany and
the solution Of the West Berlin
problem on this basis. This ac-
tivity is assuming a scope which
creates a threat of violation of
the peace and tranquility in
this region.
Bonn's minister for so-called
all German affairs, Ernest
Lemmer, has been operating in
West Berlin for a long period.
He set up there his headquar-
,ers where all kind of provoca-
ions are prepared and subver-
Sive activity against the Ger
nan Democratic Republic
CGDR) and other socialist
countries directed. All kind Of
'evanchistS, extremists, sabo-
,eurS and spies are being trans.
erred from the Federal Repub-
ic of Germany to West Berlin.
The Western powers also Use
he air corridors to transfer
hem. In this way the United
States, Britain and France are
'lainly abusing their position
n West Berlin, taking advan-
age of the absence of control
yer air communications.
"Flagrant Breach"
This represents a flagrant
reach of the agreement reached
n 1945 under which, as
air corridors were set
lside for the three Western
'owers, OH a temporary basis,
o insure the needs of their
military garrisons, and not for
and revanchist pur-
'oSeS of West German mill
and not for those sub
erSive actions which demon
tratively, before the eyes of
he whole world. including the
Germans tn selves, have
'een staged by West German
eaders who of late appear in
Vest Berlin almost daily. Off
ial representatives of the FRG
overnment and BundeStag also
.rrive in West Berlin along the
ir corridors, and right from
ne airport go On demonstra-
i've inspection" trips through
he city, making provocative,
Iostile statements against the
iDR and the Soviet Union.
Last week alone it became
ne place on which converged

ratio Party Chairman Ollen-

heir coming was accompanied
y the organization of rallies
nd demonstrations at which
loganS calling for aggression
galnst peace-loving nelghbor-
lg states and for suppression
f the democratic forces of
Vest Berlin were openly pro-
laimed.
Sees Revenge Motive
The stepping up of the ma
hinations of the ruling circles
t the FRG in West Berlin
ears evidence to their striving
deliberately increase tension
l this area in order to cause
implications and conflicts, to
y to bring about a clash be-
Veen the Western powers and
ne Soviet Union to the ad-
antage of West German mill
lrists and revenge-Seekers.
nd all this is taking place in
lain view and with the blessing
the occupation authorities of
lie three powers in West Berlin,
hich, it would seem, should
