Proposal by the Soviet Delegation1

[Translation2]
[Undated.]

Since in Greece today the public order is disturbed and law is not observed, and it is clear that the Varkiza agreement3 between the Greek Government and democratic elements is not being observed it is proposed that the Government of Great Britain urge the Regent of Greece to change the composition of the Greek Government in spirit of the agreement reached at Varkiza, February 12, 1945, between representatives of the then existing government of Greece and representatives of Greek democracy.
