Be sure to make a break and quickly over the new allied memorandum,[1] because we shall allow no concession to the owners, and a better opportunity will not be found. Delays weaken us. With the German treaty in hand, we shall now never abandon a long-term effort to stand only on its basis. Start a highly circumspect flirtation with Italy separately.
[1] A reference to the memorandum of the Allied countries of May 2, 1922, presented to the Soviet delegation at the conference on May 3.
