Cracow, December 22, 11912

Dear Citizen, I could not understand your letter of
5. XII. 1912. [2] Either there is some misunderstanding or else there
exists a resolution of the Bureau unknown to me.

Le Peuple (Brussels) wrote: “As regards representation of the
Russian socialist parties in the Bureau, the situation remains unchanged”
( Le Peuple , 30. XI. 1912). Is there another resolution of
the Bureau? If so, I trust you will be kind enough to inform me of it.

If not, the Central Committee of our Party has the right to appoint its
own representative.

Why is this “only temporary”? Of course a new decision of
the Bureau is always possible, but in this sense any representation is “temporary”.

Is there a Bureau resolution to the effect that both Russian
Social-Democratic “factions” (?) (the January and August conferences of
1912?) are requested to come to an agreement on the question of representation in the Bureau ?

I shall be much obliged if you would inform me of that resolution and
the documents (if any) received from the “Organising Committee” of the
liquidators.

With fraternal greetings,

N. Lenin [1]
