Nobs and Munzenberg told me today the following facts, which are not without significance:

7.I Munzenberg proposed to postpone the congress until March (clearly wanting with this proposal to expose the falsity of the arguments of Grimm + the social-patriots). They defeated it 426.

Greulich proposed to postpone until May. Nobs declared that he was for it (again choosing the lesser of two evils and exposing the same company). When Nobs said he was for it, then Greulich (what a goose!) withdrew his proposal (seeing his mistake). Then Naine declared that he was introducing Greulich's proposal. They defeated it.

Munzenberg proposed to give the cantonal boards (to whom they have now transferred the matter) a deadline until July. They defeated it!

One can see from these facts to what unheard-of shamelessness Grimm has reached in his article ("Berner Tagwacht" 9 or 8.I Parteibeschlusse), when he says that even the lefts were not "in principle" against postponement!

Munzenberg wrote an article for "Volksrecht" (Nobs promised to place it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow) against the decision of the Partei-Vorstand.

After reading, forward this to Olga, so that she forwards it to Abramovich.
