Enter on C.P.C. agenda, sending a copy to Bryukhanov_at once_ (if he has not yet got it) or giving him this _copy until tonight_—to obtain his opinion. We must rob the others but give these what they ask.

Notes

[1] This is written on a report to the C.P.C. from Y. A. Preobrazhensky, Chief of the Central Administration for Vocational Training under the People’s Commissariat for Education, who pointed out that a reduction, under the C.P.C. commission’s decision, in the number of rations for his administration during the spring and summer months of 1921 down to 110,000, would result in a closure of classes at many educational establishments, and asked the C.P.C. to increase the number of rations.
