cations they cannot enter into con

Notwithstanding your personal as
furance 10 the contrary, which they
much appreciate, il might be argued in
the future that the acceptance of a
conference on this basis had involved
them in a recognition which no Brit

point they must guard themselves
against any possible doubt. There is
no purpose to be served by any fur
ther interchange of explanatory and
prcumentatiye communications upon
this subject. The position taken up by
his majesty's government is fundamen-

pire. and they cannot alter it.
NV colleagues and | remain, how
