Secret
Comrade Kamenev!
In my opinion, Chicherin is wrong. We must agree to the condition that grain goes **only** to our starving peasants. We in the Council of People's Commissars decided on 5/XI to give gold only for 9 million poods (33 — 15 = 18; 18 : 2 = 9). We must help in every possible way, even for English rubbish.
And we will conditionally stipulate security.
7/XI [1921]
