We are members of the same family; & this is a sort of family council where we can freely air our troubles & reach satisfactory solutions. The delegate of the Soviet Union bases his proposal for delay first on alleged surprise & second on the contentions that negotiations pursuant to the resolution of January 30th are (abrupt end).
