[1920, January, not earlier than the 5th]
To the Members of the Politburo
I voted against this decision of the Council of People's Commissars, but I consider it inconvenient to repeal it immediately.

I propose, without convening the Politburo, to collect the votes of the Politburo members. My proposal: to put through the Council of People's Commissars at once — that the State Control is obliged to inform Narkomprod of each such case. In a month or so we shall see.
