To:   A. A. JOFFE

18. X. 1918

Comrade Joffe , Send me, please, the issue of Sozialistische Auslandspolitik which had Martov’s article on
dictatorship. [1]

Such things should be sent immediately.

Ditto—newspaper cuttings (instead of the unreadable summaries)— everything relating to the split with the
social-chauvinists and Kautskyites (with a translation into
German from the Dutch and Scandinavian languages).

We ought to act as a bureau for ideological work of an international character, but we are doing nothing!!

A hundred times more must be published. We have the money. Engage translators. But we are doing nothing! It
is scandalous....

Please send this letter also to Vorovsky, and forward the enclosure, please, to the proper
quarter. [2]

Yours, Lenin
