18. X. 1918.

Comrade Ioffe!

Please send that issue of “Sozialistische Auslandspolitik” where Martov’s article on the dictatorship 196 was.

Such things ought to be sent at once.

Also—newspaper clippings (instead of an unreadable summary)—everything pertaining to the split with the social-chauvinists and Kautskyites (with translations into German from Dutch and the Scandinavian languages).

We ought to be playing the role of a bureau for ideological work of an international character, but we are doing nothing!!
