The C.C. of the R.C.P. directs that the C.C. of the C.P. of the Ukraine should not put forward for discussion by the Ukrainian Council of People’s Commissars such important financial decisions as the issue of new currency notes or the exchange of Ukrainian rubles without a preliminary inquiry of the C.C., R.C.P., since such measures can be taken only on an all-Russia scale.

Reply in detail whether you consider it possible to put through this directive.^[1]

Lenin, Krestinsky, Kalinin
