AND A TELEGRAM TO L. B. KRASIN

Comrade Gorbunov! Please send to Krasin in cipher.

Your despatch of 1.XI is almost hysterical. You have forgotten that not even you proposed giving in to Leslie Urquhart at once, and the Politbureau decision is a very considered one and is not a refusal. As for the Foundation Company, full consent was sent to you on 29.X, with instructions to hasten matters. We must see to it that the exchange of telegrams between us is speeded up: the Foreign Trade apparatus is generally rather poor.
