[November 19, 1921]

Comrade Molotov!
I am submitting this question to the Politburo.
It is generally incorrect to resolve such questions in the Orgburo; this is a purely political, entirely political question.
And it must be resolved differently.
Please ask the secretary to prepare on one sheet the old and new versions.
(1) In my opinion, Paragraph 4 must be repealed.
(2) — to strengthen the judicial responsibility of communists.
(3) Allow "judgments" of the Party Committee only with referral to the center and with **verification** by the Central Control Commission 2.
