Recently A. Hattori introduced in [7], [8], [9] the notion of simple algebras over a commutative ring. Especially, in [9], he examined, as a fundamental problem on simple algebras, whether a directly indecomposable semi-simple algebra is simple or not and gave affirmative answers to this in some particular cases. In this note we shall first prove, as a complete answer to this, that any directly indecomposable semi-simple algebra over a Noetherian ring is simple.
