NOTE TO L. B. KAMENEV WITH AMENDMENTS TO THE DRAFT THESES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW ECONOMIC POLICY

Comrade Kamenev,

I propose the following amendments to your rough draft of the theses on the implementation of the economic policy:

1. In Paragraph 1, replace the word “catastrophic” (the condition of the national economy) with the word “grave”.

2. In the same paragraph, replace the word “catastrophic nature” (in the following sentence) with the words “grave condition”.

3. In Paragraph 2, sub-section “A”, after the words “owing to the three-year war situation” insert the words “and the extreme ruination of the country”.

4. In the same paragraph, in sub-section “E”, add in brackets to the word “supplies” the words “both foodstuffs and working and special clothing”.

5. In Paragraph 5, at the end, instead of the words “are transferred to the existing general state supply” insert the words “are transferred to other work”.

6. In Paragraph 6, replace the word “calmly” with the word “correctly”, in the first sub-section.

7. In Paragraph 8, after the words “the interests demand” say “the restoration of the national economy in general and of the currency system in particular”.
