In reply to your 224/7 of 29/IV. I consider your actions wrong; the over-expenditure of 350,000 poods of seed for intra-gubernia needs is inadmissible and places the supply of Moscow and Petrograd in an extremely difficult position. I annul the decision of the Siberian Seed Committee on the additional release of seed in excess of 4,500,000 poods. I also demand an explanation for the failure to carry out the instruction on uninterrupted loading on holidays*. I draw your attention to the exceptionally difficult food situation in the centre and demand full and unconditional fulfilment of the demands of the centre and the Commissariat for Food.

Chairman, Council of Labour and Defence, Lenin
