Comrade Rykov

Copies to Comrade Tsyurupa and Comrade Rakovsky

I ask you to take advantage of Comrade Rakovsky’s presence in Moscow to organise, together with him and
Comrade Tsyurupa, a conference on the possibility and ways of
getting the peasants, on the one hand, and the handicraftsmen and the factory population, on the other, to take a
practical interest in the exchange (organised on state lines,
as far as possible) of farm produce for industrial goods.
This conference must be organised very urgently.

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)

Chairman, C.P.C.
