TO THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE CENTRAL STATISTICAL ADMINISTRATION

I have received your communication of July 29, No. 7772. I request that you send me the information currently available in the Central Statistical Administration for 1920 (and if available, for part of 1921) in the most concise form, namely: 1) to how many gubernias do the data relate and for what period; 2) the totals for production of goods; 3) the totals for fuel consumption.

Only these three figures and only for the principal branches of industry (for example, textile, metallurgical, chief directorate of paper, electrotechnical, salt, rubber).

If there are general totals. Separate the data from the chief directorates and the data directly from the factories.
