You will note statement Wrangel not left to negotiate alone, political officer being sent to assist, and participation by British military agent. You may discuss these negotiations in general with Foreign Office and endeavor to form an opinion as to how far it constitutes entry into political relations with the Soviets, which [Page 604] British Government has steadfastly claimed it did not envisage and what consequences, in this sense, British participation in these negotiations is likely to have.
