The
Supreme
Soviet
(Russian
Parliament)
last
night,
after
four
hours'
debate,
adopted
unanimously
a
proposal
by
Foreign
Commissar
Vyachelav
Molotov
giving
sixteen
individual
republics
within
the
Soviet
Union
their
own
commissariats
of
national
defence
and
foreign
affairs
with
the
right
to
raise
their
own
arms
formations
and
deal
directly
with
other
countries.
London
observers
interpreted
the
move
as
significant
in
drafting
of
a
new
post-war
Europe.
The
new
plan
will
be
something
like
that
of
the
British
Commonwealth
if
Nations.
The
new
set-up,
it
Is
believed,
is
designed
to
give
Russia
equality
of
vote
in
international
affairs
with
others
of
the
United
Nations
in
any
new
League
of
Nations.
The
right

settling

Is
