Rakovsky phoned to complain that the promised piecegoods are not being supplied. He says that in Nikolayev
the peasants are willing to exchange grain for piece-goods.
Please phone at once to clear up everything, apart from
official inquiry, and have them get on with it, sending, me
the names of the persons responsible both at the People’s
Commissariat ,for Food and at the Central Textile
Administration. Who is responsible for the shipment of the
piecegoods? This is a disgraceful and criminal delay. [1]
