Return "Peuple". Good about Vandervelde? That will be the tactic of all of them.

I have not a single line from Radek and Karpinsky. I don't understand! I am writing to them.

Grimm telephoned that the Vorkonferenz is postponed to 5. IX and that Zetkin, from prison, asked him to send the minority resolution from the Bern Conference 154. I sent the Russian text. If you have the German, send it to Grimm.

We will send Jaurès after reading 155.
I gave "J'accuse" to Radek 156.

Return Kolb 157.

From the Dutch nil!!*
P. S. I advise you to publish (see text), translating the German expressions.

You are defending the Japanese quite wrongly. Alexander writes indignant letters, and he has the right to be indignant. Decisions adopted must be carried out: it was decided (three weeks ago) in a week!! And now another month!???

* - nothing!! Ed.

These are swindlers, and I will not indulge them if they cheat. I have the right to demand and will demand written statements from them and have the secretaries record common decisions (to catch the swindlers who want to break away, blaming us!).

Are they leaving? when? or not? Two fools, busy counting money, could in three months count how much 100 rubles is in francs or how much issue No. 1 costs. These are the emptiest excuses, ridiculous to hear. They will be ordering 10 francs' worth from Russia, feeding us promises and cheating the transporters!! Adopting decisions for a comedy!! No, they will not get away with this trick for nothing.

NB: In Bukharin, occasionally (pp. 133, 132, 129 in subheadings) the old expression "social-state trust" is left (corrected in other places to "state-capitalist trust") 158.

Is this an oversight or intentional??

You write that you are keeping notes, "hoping to achieve". Fulfillment of old decisions?? Achieve by what?? By "conversations"?

I do not agree to such relations.

P. S. Leaflets (and flyers) must be written and sent to Alexander.
