Comrade Smolyaninov, I request that you expedite the resolution of the question concerning the dispatch of provisions parcels from England to Russia. Consult with the People's Commissar of Posts and Telegraph and with Krasin, so that in any case they do not delay sending a precise telegram to London on this matter.
