Comrade Martens:
Be sure to inform Petrograd and the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade. Unless there is a triple check-up, not a damn thing will be ready, and we shall be in a mess.
Raise the question of preparatory measures in the CLD and the Narrow CPC[1]
17/XI. Lenin
- ↑ Written on a report from L. K. Martens saying that the first shipload of wheat for Russia, under an agreement with the Allied Drug and Chemical Corporation, was to leave New York on November 17, 1921.
The agreement between the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade and this corporation on the delivery to Soviet Russia of one million poods of wheat was concluded in Moscow on October 27, and approved by the CLD on November 4, 1921 (see this volume, Documents 439, 441, 451, 473, 474, 482 and also Collected Works, Fifth (Russian) Edition, Vol. 53, Documents 428 and 511).
On November 25, 1921, the CLD instructed the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade and the People’s Commissariat for Railways to submit a report on the measures necessary for the “acceptance of grain without any delays” (Central Party Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the CPSU Central Committee).
