Comrade Rykov,

I ask you to take up the matter to which Comrade Martens draws attention. 369 If it is confirmed that the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs was guilty of red tape, they must be severely punished for it. Of course, we must be very cautious in the matter of immigration of workers to Russia, for, on the other hand, our experience is extremely inadequate. If all the restrictive formalities have been complied with, any procrastination is downright criminal, and for the start of economic work it is necessary that the immigrants should arrive precisely now, before the beginning of the spring work.
