I am sending the pamphlet to Geneva (they charge 150 frs per 100,000 letters and work very quickly).

I have accepted almost all of your corrections.

I made only minor ones to yours: I will send them in the proofs (or if you wish, we can request them earlier).

The issue of the Central Organ must be expedited with all our might. Your article will be 375 lines!!! There is (almost) no chronicle section. Will you write 1/2 column on the "War"? I — on self-determination and on the United States of Europe*. We must get Golay into the Central Organ if the Japanese do not agree to "Communist," because Golay must be promoted with all our effort, absolutely!**

Answer quickly about the Central Organ, hurry with all your might.

Is it worth publishing my note on Quark?***

How could the draft declaration have disappeared (it being = a condensation of resolutions)?? It was enclosed in the envelope to you!!!

* Apparently V. I. Lenin has in mind the articles: "The Revolutionary Proletariat and the Right of Nations to Self-determination" and "On the Slogan of the United States of Europe" (see Works, 5th ed., vol. 27, pp. 61-68 and vol. 26, pp. 351-355). Ed.

** See the article by V. I. Lenin "An Honest Voice of a French Socialist" (see Works, 5th ed., vol. 27, pp. 5-13). Ed.

*** The reference is to the article by V. I. Lenin "On an Assessment of the Slogan 'Peace'" (see Works, 5th ed., vol. 26, pp. 298-300). Ed.

We will request it from Radek. If you find it, return it as soon as possible!!

I enclose a letter to Yuri and Varina.

Greetings!

Your Lenin

I have sent all my proofs to B e n t e l i*. If the letter went missing, let them send it again.
