LETTER TO A. A. JOFFE
October 18, 1918

Comrade Joffe,

Please send me that issue of *Sozialistische Auslandspolitik* which contained Martov’s article on the dictatorship.

Such things should be sent immediately.

Also—newspaper clippings (instead of the illegible summary) of everything relating to the split with the social-chauvinists and the Kautskyites (with translation into German from Dutch and the Scandinavian languages).

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

We must publish a hundred times more. There is money. Hire translators. But we are doing nothing! It is a scandal...

Please send this letter to Vorovsky as well, and hand the enclosed to the proper person.

Yours, Lenin.
