Comrades Chicherin and Karakhan, Please give your feedback, returning both documents to me. I draw the attention of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs to the fact that **bypassing** the Council of People's Commissars' resolution (by means of a "parallel" apparatus or a commission under a different name or pretext) is absolutely impermissible. I **suspect** that the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs is **actually bypassing** the Council of People's Commissars' decision. I warn you. I ask for the **most precise** feedback, without evasions, without omissions.
