The Politbureau approves the proposal of Comrade Chicherin on the question of the trade agreement with Britain and particularly emphasises:
that Krasin, without the special and explicit consent of the Central Committee, should on no account go beyond the text and letter of our Note of 29.VI on the questions of propaganda and debts[2];
all details to be dealt with at special talks on a peace treaty.
In motivation, reference to be made to their aid to Wrangel.[3]
