In this paper, an elementary proof is given of the following proposition:

Theorem 1. If Qp is an arbitrary field of p-adic numbers, then it contains normal subfields Ln(2 ≤ n ≤ p) which have symmetric groups Sn as their respective Galois groups over Q, the field of rational numbers. Furthermore, each Ln may be chosen to be totally real.
