To:   PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONFERENCE OF THE SOUTHERN COMMITTEES [1] AND TO THE SOUTHERN BUREAU OF THE C.C., R.S.D.L.P.

Comrades, In reply to your resolution on the desirability of an Organising Committee of
the Majority being set up, we hasten to inform you that we entirely agree with
your idea. We should prefer only to call the group not an Organising Committee,
but a Bureau of the Majority Committees. We do not consider it possible for us
to appoint the B.M.C. ourselves, and are restricting ourselves to recommending
comrades Martyn, Demon and K., Baron, Sergei Petrovich, Felix and Lebedev, who
(as you know) have actually begun the work of uniting the Majority
committees. We think that, given the direct support of several committees, these
comrades could act as a special group uniting the activities of supporters of
the Majority.
