Comrade Avanesov! Are you raising the question of Fowler ploughs today? Martens, they say, is asking for a postponement again due to illness.

Could we not then divide the question and decide today partially, so that the matter does not stall, but is moved forward at once?

For example, to postpone the wine question, etc.

To decide: to appoint 1 person and move quickly on point 14.
