KHARKOV
February 18, 1919

Kharkov statisticians have approached the managing director of the Central Statistical Administration, Comrade Popov, with a proposal to enter into communications with the Ukrainian Soviet Government regarding the organization of Ukrainian statistics according to the model of the state statistics of the Soviet Republic—Russia. In case of your agreement, Comrade Popov could be delegated to Ukraine for this purpose. I request a telegraphic reply.
