Comrade Smolyaninov:

V. M. Smirnov’s figures are quite different. I propose that we pass through the C.L.D.:

1) People’s Commissariat for Finance

2) Central Statistical Board

3) State Planning Commission

4) Ekonomicheskaya Zhizn

shall have the duty to submit confidentiallyto the C.L.D. monthly data on the revenue from the emission (in the briefest form).

Show this to Rykov and Tsyurupa.

15/V. Lenin
