I object to the merger of the People’s Commissariats. We should confine ourselves to uniting and simplifying the apparatus and the departments. Introduce bonusesfor simplifying the apparatus and for rapid expansion of turnover.
15/V. Lenin
[1] Written in connection with a proposal by Chairman of the Supreme Economic Council, P.A. Bogdanov, that the functions of administering trade and industry should be united in one commissariat. He suggested that the Commission for Internal Trade, the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade and the S.E.C. should be merged in a Commissariat for Trade and Industry.
