and whether negotiations are to stop pending an Enquiry?
We are disappointed at this delay in the course of

reluctance that we agree, and we must repudiate responsibility for the
breakdown.
MR. CHEN: and we cannot accept responsibility. It is the necessity
of circumstances and there, is no call to admit or repudi ate,
MR. BREMAN: We shall have to wublish reaзons for it and we
feel that your demand is not a proper demand it this juncture.
MR. CHEN; I suggest the Inquiry to prevent an absolute
breakdown.
Our first denands last year were turned down out
of hand several times. How could we den and an Enquiry then?
Even if the demands vere 1.00033ible they would have
formed the basis, ef for further negotiations. The Conference
as a whole is responsible for the oreakdo vn. That has
happened is the necessary course of events,
MR. BRENAN: A Judici al Enquiry whicą could award danages is one thing Negotiation involving a bargaining and so forth is another.
You have switched from negotiation to a Judicial Enquiry
because the conference is not going to your liking.
MR. CHE'); To avoid an absolute breakdown we want the Enquiry
to fix responsibility.
and we
That is part of the negotiations
are prepared to abide by the findings.
Mr KEMP:
The objection to the enquiry proposal is that
it may leave the boycott in force for 1 year.
