confident that the Cardinal will study and revise his own remarks.  It is   
   possible that I shall have a copy of that memorandum.    
 
                                                            
 
 
I then mentioned the subject of refugees, imprisonment and execution of

opportunity for Russia to become a real member of the family of nations   
adn to participate
