To Gukovsky
1) Did you have a meeting today of the
financial commission of the C.E.C.
 
2) What are the results of the voting?
(a) in general
(b) on Rose’s theses?
(c) on Zemit’s?
3) Zemit is being invited to work at the Commissariat of People’s Education.
Should
we
not
secure
him
more
firmly
for
the
Commissariat
of
Finances?
 
In my opinion,
we should.
(The Commissariat of Finances is weak in terms of worker cadres, upon my word
it is weak, it must be reinforced; otherwise
you will have no right
later to complain about the lack of forces.)
It consisted of:
Com. Rose,
Com. Zemit and Com. Trutovsky.
My theses were adopted by a majority
They did not vote
The same
He is working for us.
I was just now speaking about this
with Com. Sverdlov and
wanted to speak with you.
