EDITOR'S NOTEThe system of document presentation in this volume is the same as that in Volume XXVI. Explanation overleaf. English, French, and German documents are reproduced in the original language as before; in the absence of a Soviet editorial staff, it is impossible to publish any documents in Russian. Documents originally in languages other than English, French, or German are published in one of these three languages. Documents are printed in full, unless otherwise stated, and care has been taken to make their reproduction as faithful as possible; grammatical, orthographical, typing and other errors in the original have not been corrected.
