On Šmeral
About Šmeral. Couldn't we have at least 2-3 documents?

It would not be a sin to print for the Comintern at least 2 documents (2-4 pages each) about each country.

What are the facts about Šmeral? about Strasser?

Do not forget one of the main things: be sure to throw out everything from Radek's first theses, relating to the "party of expectation," to condemnation of this. Throw it all away.

About Bulgaria, Serbia (Yugoslavia?) and Czechoslovakia, raise the question specifically, separately, clearly and precisely about these countries.

If we do not have agreement on this, I propose to convene the Politburo.
