503. To ALL MEMBERS OF THE C.P.C.

First published in 1933 in Lenin Miscellany XXIV. Printed from the original. · page 329

The question raised by R.M.C. 3 is of the greatest importance. I am putting it before the C.P.C. on 13. I. 1920, and I ask the departments concerned to have their opinions ready by that date.

I think that on 13.I in the C.P.C. we should 

first, approve this in principle, 

second, give it the widest publicity for encouragement, 

third, endorse the basic principles of its organisation, or, if this cannot be done at once, elect a workmanlike commission to draft these principles as a matter of urgency.

Lenin
