## OF THE III STATE DUMA

Comrade Poletaev transmitted to us through Lenin a plan for the publication of a report by the s.-d. faction, which had been discussed by the faction before Poletaev's departure for Berlin.

* — The governing body of the German s.-d. party. Ed.

** for the Germans: I certify that you are a member of the Central Committee.

We, for our part, received the faction's plan with complete sympathy and propose that it agree to the following final condition.

We are establishing here an editorial commission for the publication of the report consisting of Steklov + Semashko + Zinoviev (or Kamenev).

The commission undertakes (1) the compilation of a plan for the report and correspondence with the faction regarding the approval of this plan; (2) efforts to obtain money from the party, whereby the faction contributes no less than 500 rubles; (3) the final editing of the report (20 sheets) by the deadline (such-and-such).

The response to this proposal should come from the faction as a whole.
