In connection with the telegram of Count Schulenburg concerning the Hilger-Mikoyan conversation, (1) the Fuhrer has decided the following:
The Russians are to be informed that we have concluded from their attitude that they make the continuation of further talks dependent upon the acceptance of the bases of our economic discussions, as they were fixed for January. Since this basis was not acceptable to us, we would not be interested in a resumption of the economic discussions with Russia at the present time.
The Fuhrer agreed that this answer be delayed for a few days.
I notified the Reich Foreign Minister of this by telephone, and I am sending tints note only as a guide for a conference of the competent official with the Minister.
