TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO SECRETARY

Please find out whether it is possible to obtain the full
German translation of Šmeral’s paper at the Congress of
the Czechoslovak party in the spring of 1921. I gave this translation to Comrade Axelrod during the congress.
It turned out that the first part of the paper, up to the
paragraph on moral crisis, is not there. This translation
had been given to me by Comrade Krejbich. Please find out whether the missing part of the translation can be
found. [1]

Has my pamphlet on the tax in kind been published in any foreign language in Russia or abroad? If it has, please
let me have one copy of each.

Lenin

Notes:

A reference to the report given by Bohumir Šmeral at the
Inaugural Congress of the Czechoslovak Communist Party which was
held from May 14 to 16, 1921.

Having received the note from secretary Maria Glyasser saying
that Šmeral’s speech had been found and was being translated,
Lenin made this remark: “To my library.”
