To Comrade Molotov for circulation among Politbureau members

Krestinsky writes me that Gorky has left Riga without any money at all and is looking forward to receiving from

Stomonyakov royalties for the publication of his books.
Krestinsky believes that Gorky should be included among
the comrades receiving treatment abroad at the expense of the Party or the Council. I suggest that the Politbureau
should pass a proposal that Krestinsky should include
Gorky among such comrades and see to it that he has all
the money he needs for the necessary treatment. [1]
