There has been no practical solution to the question of
studying local experience from the reports of the economic
conferences. The reports received by October 1 have not been sufficiently made use of for practical work or for the
press and have riot been processed by the Central
Statistical Board. The fact is that only given a correct and
regular study of the reports (by the C.S.B., the S.P.C. and
Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn ) and publication of the results of the study in the press is it possible to make the reports truly
most valuable material suitable for political and economic
conclusions. This task should be set before the S.P.C.,
Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn , the C.S.B. and the C.L.D. Managing
Department, and its fulfilment secured.

I authorise you to call a special conference and to outline a programme for studying the
reports. [1]
