Liebe Freunde,

Please send me as quickly as you can Tagwacht containing Radek’s articles on Gorter and two articles about the Australian labour movement. I am also waiting for the proof-sheets (1) of my articles in the CO and (2) of the German theses (do not print them until you receive my reply: I am considering another little amendment).[1]

I am also waiting for your article for the CO and an exact plan of the issue.

Please give my address to Radek and ask him from me to send me the promised cutting from Vorwärts of 12.I.1916 (Rühle’s article on the split and the editors’ reply). I am lecturing here on Wednesday, so I have very little time. There is tongue-wagging here about the position of the “5 secretaries”[2] being desperate (Russia against them) and their only hope is that Chkheidze will lift his voice from the “rostrum”, crying: for Zimmerwald!!

Beste Grüße!

Ihr Lenin
