## EXCHANGE OF NOTES WITH BOGUMIR SCHMERAL

I request that you indicate precisely:

When and which publishing house published the theses of the II Congress of the Third International?

The conditions were printed immediately after the congress, that is, in the beginning of autumn 1920, in separate organs that had previously been all-party publications. Burian stated this quite definitively in *Rovnost*.

In the newspapers that were then under the influence of the rightists, they did not appear. The central organ *Pravo Lidu* was in the hands of the rightists until the moment when we seized it. In their entirety they appeared in January in the official publishing house of the left party.

Is the translation of your speech in the Reichenberg *Vorwarts* 11

1) accurate?

2) complete?
