MEMORANDUM TO THE MEMBERS OF THE POLITBURO OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b)
Urgent! I propose either to hold a written vote immediately or to convene the Politburo for half an hour.
I propose: to approve Marhlevsky and Paikes—some to Dairen, others to Chita; let Chicherin decide.
Yaroslavsky is not well suited for the Washington Conference. Meshcheryakov is also less than ideal. I propose: to task the Narkomindel and the Organizational Bureau with searching—for 24 hours—for additional candidates.
11/X.
