NOTE TO THE DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSARS (SNK)*

December 2, 1921

I request you to look through and collect everything about the Centrosoyuz.

It is necessary to work out a series of charts for their monthly reports (also for GUM = State Universal Store).

Approximately:

(1) turnover (2) by gubernias—purchased, sold, by main groups of products.

Be sure to indicate the gubernias that are remiss in reporting.

(4) Put the remiss gubernias on the black list and print their list, etc.

Lenin

P. S. Give me these tables in the Council of People's Commissars (SNK).

Think it over, whether it is possible to draw from them some conclusions about the procurement of raw materials and prospects.
