[Received July 24—1:06 p.m.]
897. Pravda today publishes without comment a Tass despatch quoting a Berlin radio communiqué to the effect that Berlin political [Page 403] circles declare that the entrance of the three Baltic countries into the Soviet Union does not infringe upon Germany’s interests and that Italian political circles state that these events are taking place in a region in which Italy is not interested.
Repeated to Berlin.
