We must begin preparing a CC [Central Organ] issue devoted entirely to the conference. Topics or a r t i c l e s 169.

Etwa:* 1. Vorgeschichte** and, accordingly, the Third International.
2. Reports (the Balkans in particular).
3. Debate with Ledebour (general principled discussion). (Three shades among the Germans.)
comparison
with the women’s
4. Significance of the conference (first step towards the Third International; a timid and inconsistent step towards a split with opportunism. Possibility of a “relapse”).
5. Our resolution and our draft manifesto, our statement on the manifesto.
6. The Bund and the Okiasts + Trotsky (Massenaktionen***).
7. The official manifesto.

* — Approximately. Ed.
** — Prehistory. Ed.
*** — Mass actions. Ed.

Do you agree to my taking Nos. 3 and 4?

Let us hurry with this CC issue.

I am sending Bauer.

Be sure to send

1) Legien’s symposium + ...*
2) the pamphlet on Liebknecht.

Return Radek’s letter.

The plan of leaflets has been drawn up; I will send it tomorrow; detailed.

Greetings! Yours, Lenin
P.S. I have lost the letter from the Dutch to the CC! 170 Extremely important arguments against participation in the conference.
