Comrade Lobachev
Comrade Rykov, Commission of Workers’ Supply
Chicherin complains that the foreigners are being deprived of state supplies. He insists that this is absolutely impossible. I find his arguments serious. Please discuss whether it would not be desirable to buy certain quantities of foodstuffs abroad for the arriving foreigners, and to charge them at a rate that would quite cover our expenditures.
Chicherin has an even stronger complaint over the 100 rations taken away from the personnel of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs. I think that these rations should in fact be loft, with the P.C.F.A.
Please let rue know what you decide.
Lenin
