To Comrade Mark

April 10, 1910

Dear Comrade, Yesterday’s conference convinced us finally of Some thing about Which
we had little doubt even before it, namely, that you in no way represent
the Bolshevik trend which you claim to represent in the C.C. Bureau Abroad.

Having every ground for considering ourselves representatives of the
Bolshevik trend, on the strength of letters from like-minded comrades in Russia and of the policy pursued by the
Bolsheviks living abroad, we declare that your wavering policy, your
willingness to tolerate the presence in the C.C. Bureau Abroad of Igor, a
liquidator and plotter against the Party, to cover up the disruption by him
of Party unity [2] (instead of exposing Igor, of presenting an ultimatum to the
C.C. demanding his removal and resolutely combating the liquidators and
upholding the alliance of the Bolsheviks and the pro-Party
Mensheviks, an alliance which alone could perhaps save the cause
of unity)—this behaviour of yours convinces us that you, willingly or
unwillingly, are a pawn in the hands of the liquidators.

We reserve the right, to bring our statement to the attention of the
Bolsheviks and, if need be, the entire Party and press.
