To Comrade Sokolnikov. Copy to Comrade Kamenev

Comrade Sokolnikov:

In connection with our conversation yesterday, I earnestly request you to carry out the following measures with the utmost speed: formulate your proposals regarding the free circulation of gold (your ten points of yesterday) and send one copy to me, and another copy to Krzhizhanovsky for the State Planning Commission. Be sure to obtain as quickly as possible the briefest possible formulation of opinions on this question from Preobrazhensky and Krasnoshchekov, as well as from the most important workers of the Finance Section, and then from several specialists in general.232 On the most important questions of financial policy, it is necessary to have as quickly as possible such precise formulations (in telegraphic style, so as not to generate a lot of paper) signed by each responsible worker whose opinion must be known to the Political Bureau.
