Petropavlovsk, to Extraordinary Plenipotentiary Smirnov.

August 2 [1921]

According to information from the People's Commissariat of Food, the Omsk administration of the Kirgiz Food Commission, acting independently and without authorization from the center, is issuing orders for the transport of grain reserved by the Council of People's Commissars for the center [from] Semipalatinsk and Akmola gubernias for intragubernial consumption. Given the impermissibility of such use of grain intended for supplying the center at one of the most critical political moments, I order:

1. Immediately cancel all orders issued to Akmola and Semipalatinsk gubernias for intragubernial supply without authorization from the center; 2. The expenditure of grain for intragubernial needs is to be carried out exclusively within the limits of orders from the People's Commissariat of Food; 3. Exert all efforts to fulfill completely the tasks assigned to the Kirgiz Food Commission by the Center.
