I believe that it is absolutely necessary for us to accept Krupp’s proposal just now, before the Genoa Conference.[1] It would be immensely important for us to conclude at least one, and what would, be even Letter, several concession contracts, with German firms above all. That is why there must be the most relentless struggle against the prejudice among the top section of the SEC against concessions, whether involving oil, agriculture or anything else.
