3/I.

We have received a letter from Kiev criticising the actions
of the committee. It says that (1) the committee is insufficiently informed (there were arrests on the
night of December 1, hut the committee is unable to ascertain who were
arrested and why), and that it is slow in taking action.
(2) A leaflet addressed to the workers should have been put out reporting
the student unrest and indicating a course of action to the workers. The
committee agreed that such a leaflet was needed, hut did not issue it on
time. We propose to print the letter in our issue No. 14, which comes out
in 10 days’ time. In view of this, reply at once whether you have
any objections on either score, or send in your own account of the
circumstances connected with these facts.
In general the letter is an interesting one, but we would not wish to
publish criticism of the actions of a friendly committee without hearing
its opinion. Please answer promptly. [1]
