Urgent! I propose either to vote immediately in writing,
or to convene the Politburo for half an hour.
I propose: to agree on Marchlewski and Paikes (whom to Dairen, whom to Chita, let Chicherin decide).
Yaroslavsky is not suitable for the conference in Washington.
Meshcheryakov — **not very**.
I propose: to instruct the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and
the Orgburo to find (within 24 hours) more candidates.
