Sir M.!

I am returning your speech 193.

The main shortcoming of it: too much on electrification, too little on current economic plans.

The emphasis is not placed where it should be.

When I had before me communist "intellectuals," who, without having read the book "Plan of Electrification" and not understanding its significance, were babbling and writing nonsense about the plan in general, I had to shove their noses into this book, for there is no other serious plan and there cannot be one*.

When I have before me those who wrote this book, I would shove their noses not into this book, but from it - into the issues of current economic plans.

Now, gentlemen professors! Your electrification in allen Ehren!**

Honor where honor is due. You have written the 1st edition. We will correct it and release the 2nd. Specialists from such-and-such a subcommittee will write a dozen decrees and resolutions on teaching electricity and the plan of electrification, etc. We will approve this.

** - in full honor! Ed.

To A. I. RYKOV. April 6, 1921

But the general planning commission of the state should not be occupied with this now, but should immediately, with all its might, take up the current economic plans.

Fuel today. For the year 1921. Now, in the spring.

Collection of scrap, waste, dead materials. Using them for exchange for bread and the like.

This is what they need to be shoved into. For this, they should be put to work.

Now. Today.
1-2 subcommittees on electrification.
9-8 subcommittees on current economic plans. This is how to distribute the forces for 1921.

Your Lenin
