A draft of the "Commission for Aid to the Hungry" has come from Gorky.

Take it from Rykov in 1/4 hour, when he has read it.

Tomorrow we shall decide in the Politburo. Ring up Molotov so that he can give you 5 minutes tomorrow.

It seems to me personally that we can combine our project and Gorky's project 4.
