Comrade Louis Fraina, an American communist who is staying for a time in Moscow and who is the author of extremely useful literary works (on Bolshevism, its history and tactics) in the English language, needs several comrade translators from Russian into English for permanent work together with him 298.

They need not be party members.

I request that you search for suitable persons with a complete knowledge of the English language and report to our secretariat.
