FEBRUARY 27, 1920 They are non-Party people, but create an impression of remarkable conscientiousness. They are requesting re-registration and checking of the members of the Uyezd Party Committee (they are from Perm Gubernia, Usolye Uyezd, Polovodovo Volost) on the plea that there are many of the worst elements in the local Party. Will you please fulfil their request. Let me know the results of the check-up. Give me the names of those members of the Uyezd Party Committee (in Usolye and in the volosts of Usolye Uyezd) who are personally known to you and are absolutely re- liable.

535 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE FOOD COMMISSARIAT 27. II. 1920 Comrade Vinogradov, Chairman of the Executive Commit- tee of the Vesyegonsk Teachers’ Union, has presented the attached petition. 351
The crux of the matter is that the Vesyegonsk Uyezd Food Committee be instructed to issue to the teachers (about 500 in the uyezd) an increased ration of bread and potatoes plus footwear or leather. Both from local stocks—the uyezd has surpluses. Please make the necessary inquiries today (the comrade has to leave tomorrow) and give me a reply by telephone (in the evening we shall decide the matter in the Council of Defence).

Comrade Alferov, Lomonosov, before
his departure, had told
me everything had been done for the oil pipeline. Clearly we have here sabotage or slovenliness, for information is utterly confusing. Send me without fail not later than 11 a.m. next Tuesday 1) a short, extremely brief, report on (a) what has been ordered and (b) what has been done. 2) The name, patronymic and surname of each respon- sible person.

By direct line Comrade Kuzmin, member of R.M.C. 6 Re No. 95. Exercise the utmost caution and distrust in this mat- ter. 3 5 6
Mind you are not fooled by officers who want to infiltrate among us in order to demoralise the army. Make thorough inquiries about everyone wishing to return and if you are convinced that his return will be useful, inform Moscow to obtain permission. Discuss this question with Lomov’s commission, 3 5 7 which has gone to Archangel. Report the views expressed in the discussion. Re No. 82. Chicherin’s statement about leaving the country stipu- lated the surrender of the White government, but it has fled. For the time being, do not permit anyone to go abroad. Employ the arrested officers on work. Use those who have remained at liberty for the same purpose. Sklyansky’s telegram No. 49/ ш about sending some of them to the centre holds good. Discuss the question with Lo- mov’s commission. Lenin Written on March 5 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 4 2 Printed from the text in in Lenin Miscellany XXXIV Sklyansky’s handwriting 544 TO S. Y.

Comrade Chutskayev, Especially urgent measures must be adopted to speed up the sorting of valuables. 3 5 8 If we are too late, they will give nothing for them in Europe and America. In Moscow, a thousand Party members, etc., can (and should) be mobilised for this work under special control. 353 TELEGRAM TO L. D. TROTSKY.

In code * Trotsky If grain and timber procurement has risen, special efforts must be devoted to barges and preparations for floating, especially barges for oil, then to building houses for the Chelyabinsk and other coal workers. Cannot the Siberian prisoners of war and officers be moved to the Urals and set to work on coal and timber? To expedite replies from the centre, obtain direct lines through the military department. Krestinsky has replied to you. I repeat in brief. The Ishim remains in Tyumen Gubernia. You can keep Brunov- sky. About meat, an order to organise salting centres has been given. Regarding regional centres, it is necessary to tread war- ily and think it over carefully, so as to avoid regionalism. If troop formation in Siberia has been overdone you should check yourself what real measures are being taken to combat this, summoning to the direct line anyone you require.
Smirnov must be taken off diplomatic, frontier and military affairs and returned to peace-time work. Lenin Written on March 7 , 1 9 2 0 First published in 1 9 4 2 Printed from the original in Lenin Miscellany XXXIV * Transmitted by direct line.—Ed. V. I. L E N I N 354

Gomel is said to be threatened, therefore, despite Stalin’s optimism, I consider essential and urgently neces- sary all the extraordinary measures you have proposed. In regard to the Commissariat for Railways, the Polit- bureau has decided to propose making you People’s Com- missar for Railways, since Krasin will be going abroad in a week, and Lomonosov, after typhus, will have recov- ered only in six weeks’ time. 360 Reply immediately.
