Comrade
Orjonikidze
The Plenum will be, as I was informed today, on Wednesday. I will be at the Plenum. But I consider it absolutely necessary for us to meet separately, regardless of the Plenum. Please let me know if it is convenient for you tomorrow, i.e., before the Plenum, or the day after tomorrow, and also to be within telephone distance today from 6 p.m.

NOTE ON P. A. KRASIKOV'S NOTE
Vladimir Ilyich, I apologize very much, but I cannot help but draw attention to the fact that complaints are coming from the localities
about the policies of land departments and other bodies of Soviet power... Your rule to spare
the middle peasant is not being observed...

RESPONSE TO A NOTE ON THE ORGANIZATION OF A
COMMISSARIAT OF INTERNAL TRADE
This will now be purely bureaucratic and harmfully bureaucratic until the matter is prepared.
Begin preparing it immediately in every way, in a series of commissions*.

NOTE**
I am against.
Lariniation plus Ryazanovization equals madness.
Postpone.
Think.
Write down the draft of the task.
*
In May 1922, the Commission on Internal
Trade was organized under the Council of Labor and Defense; by a resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR of May 9, 1924, it was
transformed into the People's Commissariat of Internal Trade.
* * Addressee not identified.
I know. Disgraceful.
What else to come up with? A «Manifesto»?
Or a special «de cree»? Or to court?
