K:
I'll be 49 then.
A:
How ridiculously young you are! Why do you suppose there is a
real reason for this Russian thing, Henry.
K:
Well, they wouldhave had to give up a helluva lot.
A:
Enumerate. They would have to give up what sort of thing?
K:
They would have to give up the European Security Conference, they
would have had to give up the prospect of credits, they would have
had to give up the anti-Chinese implication that they were the place
where you made deals.
A:
I have to say to you that.
K:
And one or two other things that had become apparent.
A:
There's always this ambiguous aspect to the thing because I can't
help but feel that you can interpret what the Russians have been
doing in Western Europe, their tendency to push the Middle East
back to the back of the stove and most surprising of all, a revealing
determination to subordinate everything to the eventual action against
China.
K:
Of course you can.
A:
You know what I mean?
K:
Of course. I'm not saying the Netherlands is their outstanding trade.
A:
I would have thought that the consideration that you named were not
powerful enough.
K:
But they are all part of the bigger one. But let's talk about it tomorrow.
A:
Good, I'll see you then.
