TO L. M. KHINCHUK (September 18, 1922)

Written not earlier than September 18, 1922 · First published in 1924 in the journal Soyuz Potrebitelei No. 5. Printed from the original. · page 584

Comrade Khinchuk,

I decided to send you the pamphlet, in order not to delay it. Please send it to me again in page.

Could you add

1) Details on reduction of staff? By departments?

2) The same, about normalisation?
(They say you have a department.)

3) The same, comparing data (all the data) by quarters?

4) The same, showing in how many volosts (and per cent) and in how many villages (and per cent of all villages) there are selling-points?

5) Price of tea? Is it not too low? Do you realise that this is an article of luxury? How do you determine the allowable maximum price of tea?

6) A division of products into necessities and luxuries.

7) Sales of agricultural implements, including improved ones? Propaganda measures about them?

With communist greetings,
Lenin

P.S. The pamphlet is a very good one.
