L. M. KARAKHAN AND LETTER FROM A. A. IOFFE,

YA. A. BERZIN, V. V. VOROVSKY

To Comrade Chicherin or Karakhan

I urgently request that tomorrow, on Friday, you send to Berlin 12 copies of my article against Kautsky from *Pravda*[188] for Ioffe, Berzin, Vorovsky and the following brief letter from me to them:

Dear Comrades! I am quite well aware of the deficiencies in my excessively brief article against Kautsky. But nonetheless it is necessary to take a position as soon as possible, to voice one's opinion.

I earnestly request that you translate and publish it as a pamphlet.

10/X. 1918.
