TELEGRAM TO G. V. CHICHERIN [1]

The best thing for us is another conference in about three
months or so. At the closing of the Genoa Conference do
not in any case undertake the slightest financial obligation, do not make even a semi-recognition of the debts,
and do not be afraid of a break-up in general. Comrade
Krasin’s minority opinion shows that his line is absolutely
wrong and inadmissible. Regardless of the course and outcome of the financial negotiations, once again bring out
strongly to the fore the question of the mutual obligation
to maintain peace, and support it even if it has the unsatisfactory form given to it by Lloyd George.
