To Comrade Trotsky, copies to Zinoviev, Bukharin, Radek,
Stalin and Kamenev

1. Regarding Bordiga, I strongly advise accepting your proposal to address a letter from our Central Committee to the Italian delegates and very insistently recommend to them
the tactics you have indicated; otherwise their actions will be extremely harmful for
the Italian Communists in all future developments. 514

2. I have read your theses on the New Economic Policy and find them on the whole very good, and some formulations extremely felicitous, but a small number of points seemed to me
debatable. I would advise publishing them in the newspapers for the time being, and then definitely re-
issuing them as a pamphlet. With some commentaries they will be particularly suitable for
acquainting the foreign public with our new economic policy.

Lenin
