Comrade Rakovsky, Kharkov

Copy to Comrade Vladimirov

The People’s Commissariat for Food of the RSFSR has remitted to you bank-notes worth 20,000 million rubles, of which 10 are for Kiev, and 10 for Kharkov for the purchase of grain and cattle. We intend in the near future to send to you, over and above the Ukrainian monetary allocation, regular monetary remittances up to 50,000 million a month for the special designation of grain purchases. The RCP Central Committee proposes that you should: 1) firmly reserve these remitted amounts for the said purpose under the personal responsibility of all organs of the People’s Commissariat for Finance; 2) bind the food organs, on the responsibility of the Ukrainian Commissariat for Food and gubernia food supply commissars, to expend the remitted resources exclusively for the purchase of grain and cattle. The RCP Central Committee proposes that you should enter the RSFSR Council of People’s Commissars decree of August 23 in your register, with the addition of the All-Russia CEC’s on the salt monopoly.
