On the Question of the Use of State Control for the Purpose of Regulating Work and Increasing Defense Capability,
the majority of the commission expresses itself in favor of spot checks,
i.e., sending groups or commissions to audit various institutions,
with broad powers.
To submit concrete, factual, numerical data on the question of what forces we have at our disposal (first of all from
party members, then from non-party, but absolutely conscientious
persons) — for carrying out real control. The number of specialists
in different sectors; — the number of comrades experienced in administration, in the business of
management.
The tasks of control are twofold:
the simplest — checking warehouses, products, etc.
the more complex task — checking the correctness of work;
combating sabotage, fully exposing it; checking the system
of work organization; ensuring the greatest productivity of
work, etc.
The improvement of affairs in the Commissariat of Food Supply and the [Commissariat of] Railways is given first priority.
