It had been added jthat the mere fact of a resumption of the negotiations would indicate a mutual amendment of terms.
The British' Government accordingly had advised the company to address to the Concessions Committee a letter proposing to send representatives to Moscow to discuss the claim, on the understanding that the terms would l>o materially amended on both sides. The company had adopted" this course.
