2. Dr. Carlos Noble gave a brief talk concerning the Third International
Issembly of the Partisans of Peace, held in Stockholm from 15 to 19
March 1950, which he' attended. Dr. Noble did not mention the trip which
he allegedly made to Moscow following the meeting.
3. Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, the Cuban Communist who also attended the

the grou-, a definite air of oessImism regarding the imminence of war
was very apparent. A`ention was riad? of the fact that,, because of the

magazine, In Defense of Peace, in France; therefore, tentative plans are
