IN CIPHER

To Comrade Krasin

The purport of the decision of the Political Bureau communicated to you was that all contracts you conclude in gold currency should first be submitted to the Political Bureau for approval. It is extremely necessary to economise gold to the utmost. The Political Bureau sees no business grounds for cancelling its decision.

On behalf of the Political Bureau

Lenin
