...* Received the Central Organ. The eighth page is disgraceful. Who knows why they didn't inform us: we could have found more material!! And it should be dated not 28/XII, but earlier, otherwise not a word about the International Bureau.

Many are getting nervous over the Bureau's decisions. It's foolish!

* The beginning of the letter has not been found. Ed.

TO D. VAINKOP. 12 JANUARY 1914

"Exchange of opinions" is entirely acceptable, and such a resolution should not have been rejected.

And that the six were rejected is a lie. The six did not even present a demand!

According to the charter, they could not: if there are 7 SRs in the Duma + 6 SDs, then only 1 SR has a vote in the inter-parliamentary commission.

The International Bureau can only offer us "bons offices"* for negotiations, for an "exchange of opinions" with other parties, factions, etc. That is all it does. Only that! Summoning a conference, etc. - this is a foolish simplification** of the matter by the liquidators and the petty bourgeois scum. These liquidators are scoundrels. And we will "exchange opinions" - they will be satisfied!

Who wrote the article on the Beilis case in the Central Organ?

Why didn't you send us the proofs?? We should have said that the bourgeoisie must form a republican party if they truly oppose the Beilis case.
