The last Soviet Note can be divided into two parts. In the first are included the points on which the Soviet Government has capitulated in substance, although the form chosen to express this grudging consent is provocative, inappropriate, and sullen. The British Government takes notice of the fact that, in substance, the Soviet Government has complied with the following points:

1 Recognition of the right of British fishermen to

To trawl outside the three-mile limit of territorial

waters. Compensation for material and personal damages caused to British fishermen.
