TELEGRAM TO KH. G. RAKOVSKY

In code

Rakovsky
Kiev

The C.C. of the R.C.P. directs that the C.C. of the C.P.
of the Ukraine should not put forward for discussion by
the Ukrainian Council of People’s Commissars such important financial decisions as the issue of new currency
notes or the exchange of Ukrainian rubles without a preliminary inquiry of the C.C., R.C.P., since such measures
can be taken only on an all-Russia scale.

Reply in detail whether you consider it possible to put
through this directive. [1]
