TO L. D. TROTSKY AND S. V. KOSIOR**

Kiev, to Rakovsky, Trotsky, Kosior

We strongly recommend closing all commissariats except the War, Communications and Food Commissariats. Mobilise everybody without exception for war work and set yourselves the task of holding out for at least a few weeks, merging the Council of People’s Commissars, the Defence Council, the All-Ukraine Central Executive Committee and the C.C., C.P.U. into one institution. We ask Trotsky to exert every effort to this end.376
