London, May 31.-Diplomatic quarters here said on Wednesday that when the Supreme Soviet meets on June 12, it may mark the end of the "state of war" with East Germany, and close the last gap in Russia's pattern of anti-Western diplomacy.
These quarters said there was increasing evi- dence that Russia was planning an organisation of European and Asian satellite countries in opposi- tion to the United Nations or the Atlantic Council.

Nosed resite of the Bagulo Con-
ference and say truthfully that the seven nations grouped together to discusa problems bearing heavily on South-East Asia, accomplished anything spectacular. It would, indeed, have been too much to expect. Never before has such a gather- ing been suggested, much less realised. In all the circumstances, a caulicus ap- pronch was inevitable; the natural ten- dency of each delegate, in varying degrees, was to feel the way carefully, gather im- pressions of the possibilities for the future rather than encourage immediato commitments. It was, not surprising, therefore, that little of a concrete nature received general approval. The principal proposal of the Philippines delegation headed by Brigadier-General Romulo, tho setting up of a permanent regional organisation, implying political cohesion, frequent consultation and gradual unlon, was not flatly rejected, but made ND obvious headway. The seven nations Te- presented included Australia, India and Pakistan. It is far too early to find them ready for political attachments of the type envisaged by President Quirino, although fully realising the purpose and prepared to give positive co-operation in the económic, social and cultural fields.
