I shall at once inform Krasin, and regarding finance— Krestinsky. [2] Take rigorous measures in general; regarding
Red Army men’s rations I cannot decide just now, I am told they received 1 1/4 lbs. The causes of lowered productivity
must be investigated. Report to us more frequently, both
you and Orlov.
