THE STATE PLANNING COMMISSION

Comrade Krzhizhanovsky
Copy to the People’s Commissariat for Finance, Comrade Sokolnikov

I am sending you copies of two letters from Comrade Chubar, in which he proves that
life has upset the decision of the Council of Labour and Defence of October 13 on the
Donets Basin. 505

In the G.P.U. November 6, 1922

It is necessary urgently to reconsider the question in its full scope, with the
participation of the People’s Commissariat for Finance and the All-Russia Central
Council of Trade Unions. It is necessary at all costs to find a solution of all the
questions that would ensure the normal work of the Donets Basin and make it
independent of the continued fall in the value of the rouble.

I consider this a matter of extreme urgency and request the State Planning Commission
to concentrate specially on this work. 506

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
