LETTER TO THE SECRETARIAT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b) ON THE ISSUE OF RED ARMY CUTS
I believe we should proceed by announcing a reduction of one quarter, justifying this move by pointing out that, although small and not particularly reliable, a certain real step toward a truce has nonetheless been achieved in Genoa.
