AND TO G. Y. ZINOVIEV

By telephone
To Radek and Zinoviev
28/V. 7.50 p.m.

I have just received a telegram from Berlin signed by Zetkin, reading as follows:

“The Party Central Committee refuses under various pretexts to permit the departure of the delegates authorised by the opposition, Brass and Anna Geyer. I therefore refuse to go until the trip of my like-minded comrades is guaranteed.”

I request Radek and Zinoviev to give me their opinion by telephone: would it not be better to advise the Central Committee to agree to the departure of Brass and Anna Geyer? Or would it be better for all, myself included, to remain completely silent? 324
