"I have the honour, on behalf of His Majesty's Gov- ornment in the United Kingdom, in agréement with the Governments of the United States of America and the French Republic, to draw your attention to the serious situation which has arison as the result of the unilateral imposition by the Government of the Union of Soviet So- cialist Republics of restrictions on transport and communications between the Wostorn Zones of Occupation-in-Go

"Quite apart from the fact that it is in conflict with the rights of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, the Government of the Unit- ed States of America and the Government of France, with regard to the occupation and ad- ministration of Berlin, this action by the Soviet Government is contrary to its obligations under Article II of the Charter of the United Nations and creates a threat to the peace within the meaning of Chapter VIII of the Charter.

SUBMISSION OF ISSUE

Paris, September 29.
| Mr. John Foster Dulles tonight admitted that the submission of the Borlin crisis to the United Na- tions creates great risks for the organisation. But he vigorously disagreed with those who claim
that the United Nations should be spared of such a burden because of that danger.

Berlin, September 29.
The United States tonight demanded "immediate and direct assurances by the Russians to halt the dangerous buzzing of American planes hurdling the Russian blockade of Berlin."
The demand was made in a vigorous written protest filed with the Soviets after a number of Russian Yak fighters made repeated offensive passes at two heavily loaded American C-54 transport plones en route to Berlin.

Accompanying The British Note To UN:
| Eleven documents disclosed the text of the joint re- port sant on September 7 by the British, United States and Fronch Military Governors in Ger- many to their governments on the failure of the Berlin talks with Marshal Vassili_Sokolovsky, the Russian Military Governor in Gormony. This report shows that the chief stumbling block of the Berlin talks was Russia's apparent deter- mination to impose restrictions on air traffic to Berlin, from Western Germany. The report said: "Marshal Sokolovsky, presented a clause deal- ing with air traffic in which he stipulated that the regulations adopted by the controlling council in August, 1945, shall be strictly ob- served."
