V. I.

Lenin

Dear V. K., I enclose the sheets of the pamphlet which were
accidentally overlooked. Please check whether you have everything
now. I wrote to you yesterday about the reprints coming
up for the pamphlet.

What about No. 44?

Regards, Yours, Lenin

P.S. The attached footnote to the manifesto should go into the pamphlet. Insert it, please.

Footnote. The demand for a United States of Europe, as put forward in the manifesto of the C.C., which
supplemented it with a call for the overthrow of the monarchies of Russia, Austria and Germany, differs from
the pacifist reading of this slogan by Kautsky and others.
[To the paragraph in the manifesto of the C.C. (No. 33 of Sotsial-Demokrat ) containing a reference to the United
States of Europe.]

There is an editorial in No. 44 of our Party’s Central
Organ, Sotsial-Demokrat , which shows that the “United
States of Europe” slogan is economically wrong. Either this is an impossible slogan under capitalism, one
signifying not only the giving up of colonies, but also the
establishment of a balanced world economy, with the colonies,
spheres of influence, etc., divided among the several countries. Or else it is a reactionary slogan, signifying a
temporary alliance between the Great Powers of Europe to
plunder the more rapidly developing Japan and America.
(Note by the editorial board of Sotsial-Demokrat .)

Return the material as soon as possible!
