A Food Commissariat circular—or better still, perhaps, a decree of the C.P.C.—should be drawn up, making it
amply clear:

— that the delegatkoms [1] should be allowed to work jointly with the gubernia food committees and under their control ; — that the separate existence and separate operation of
the delegatkoms is impermissible; — that such a thing invariably leads to the infiltration
of profiteers; — that especially desirable is the assistance of the
delegatkoms and their participation in agitation against
the kulaks and profiteers under the guidance of agitators’ detachments of the gubernia food committees,
etc.

All this should be set out and published in greatest detail
and in an extremely popular manner .
