Kursky [1]

In my opinion, this should be added:

1) drawing up a protocol is not as yet a “complaint”,
but only an exact record of the beginning of the dispute.
The best way to avoid a complaint is to secure an exact
reply or immediate performance;

2) by this means we can and should secure rapid
decisions ire substance , without red tape, namely: by proposing
a short method of solution on the spot, proposing it officially (“collect the material in such-and-such a place,
I suggest that an order be placed at such-and-such an office, I request that such-and-such be done to avoid
bureaucratic delay”); such a statement or request will greatly
assist the centre in combating red tape;

3) against the Council of People’s Commissars and the
Council of
Defence [2] to go to the All-Russia Central
Executive Committee;

4) after endorsement by the C.P.C., publish an article
(with examples; chew it up) in Bednota .
