I

Comrade Molotov, please put this article and my following
proposals to the vote of the Politbureau by sending them round to the
members.

1. That there is no objection to having this article of Lenin’s
published in Izvestia and Pravda on Tuesday.

2. That directives be given to the Soviet and Party press to appraise
the Berlin agreement from this angle, and to dwell at special length on the
factual existing links between the S.R.s and Mensheviks, the Right wing of
both these parties, and the international bourgeoisie.

3. That the publication for the said purpose in all European languages
of Savinkov’s pamphlet Fighting the Bolsheviks and of
S. Ivanovich’s pamphlet The Twilight of Russian Social-Democracy
should be speeded up and a detailed account given of how these pamphlets
prove the real ties that exist between the Right-wing Mensheviks and S.R.s
and international reaction.

4. That Comrade Trotsky be directed to see to it that these and similar
materials are published in all languages with appropriate comments as
quickly as possible.

5. That Comrade Radek be asked by wire to return to Moscow as soon as
possible with the full minutes of the Berlin Conference.

6. That Comrade Bukharin shall be forbidden to return to Russia until
he has completed his cure.
