Minister (Mr. Georgiev) , in his negotia tions with the Opposition, went furtnei than was required by the decisions Oi 1 the Moscow conference. He olfered to make certain concessions, although he 1 was not required to do so under thj Moscow agreement. The Opposition spurned the oher and closed the door to j negotiations. j
