TO G. V. CHICHERIN. MAY 8, 1918

The British are threatening with their own and the Japanese offensive.

The Germans are demanding that the Finns take Ino and the Murman Railway for the fight against
the British.

We are having an emergency meeting of the Party Central Committee on all this.85

Your policy—to hasten the conclusion of an armistice and peace by every means, of course,
at the price of new annexations.
