Comrade Alsky:
Have any measures been taken to speed up and intensify Gokhranâs work?
Have any Communists been mobilised?[1]
Result: within how many months and what exactly will be done? You will be to blame if the question keeps âstickingâ, because in that case it will be your duty to lodge a complaint speedily, taking it up to the very top, i.e., the Politbureau.
But I mean speedily.
The summer must be made use of, and you are letting it slip by: I warn you that the responsibility will fall entirely on you. Hurry, and complain to me (about the CLD) and where I am not competent, to the Politbureau.
- â Having received this letter, Martens replied to Lenin that he would immediately start working on the draft CLD decision concerning the industrial immigration of Russians from America and would have it ready by six oâclock.
That same day, June 22, 1921, the CLD declared that it was desirable to âdevelop separate industrial enterprises or groups of enterprises by leasing them to groups of American workers, and industrially developed peasants, on contractual terms assuring them of a measure of economic autonomyâ (Lenin Miscellany XX, p. 202) The CLD also recognised the need to regulate the industrial immigration of workers from other countries, and instructed the SEC to work out the terms for leasing enterprises to these workers.
