[December 26, 1921]

If this is true, then it is not bad.
Couldn't two things be done:
1) Weekly (monthly, to begin with) calculate for the entire RSFSR:
    a) the quantity of goods held by the state (exchange fund)
    b) the quantity of paper money

2) As an experiment in 1-2 uyezds, issue (through cooperative institutions?) exchange bonds, fully backed by a commodity fund?

(My goal is not "profit," but experience, experimentation.)
