8:30 a. m. here. He is holding a final meeting this morning in a half an hours
time. He will make a decision. Then instructions will be sent and our counter
proposal in concrete terms will be sent to our permanent representative in 6
hours time. It was to be done yesterday. Mr. M has been working day and
night. My friend and his associates have made the decision to go ahead without
the consent of the industry.
K: What does it mean without consent of the industry?
Y: Government will propose
K: But can they implement this without the industry.
Y: They will have to be. By legal means. That is the political price he will
have to pay. Last night Mr. M had a final meeting with our industry. Plan
drafted by Mr. M. Now my friend decided that it cannot wait any longer and
my friend will exercise his power to make an agreement, including legal
means so that the industry will have to go along. It will be no longer

I hope that you expert will be prepared to work the entire weekend.
K: I will call them immediately.
Y: This will not be the final one. Certainly to be discussed between us. The
