12. IV.

G. M.!

Yesterday I spoke with Smilga. He is to speak with you today.

The question of the fundamental features of the state plan, not as an institution but as a plan,
is urgent.

Now you know the tax in kind and the other decrees. There you have the policy. And you
calculate more precisely (allowing for different harvests) how much this may yield.

Even incomparably more urgent: fuel. The timber-rafting has been upset. A poor harvest
with such a spring will upset transport.

Let Ramzin and Co. give me in a couple of days brief summaries: 3 figures (firewood, coal,
oil) by half-years for 1918???
1919
1920 especially 1921 and plan for 1922 fuel plan for 1920
4 figures: what was assigned?
what was received?
how did they intend to distribute what was assigned (only under main headings)?
how did they distribute what was received?

By Thursday morning. Depending on this I shall decide about foreign trade. Order it
today. We shall talk tomorrow.

Greetings! Lenin
