Dear Comrade,

I am sending the proofs and new copy. This issue must carry a report on the London Conference.

For God’s sake do everything you can to speed it up. (If you cannot put it out before our meeting[1]), then be sure to bring the proofs along with you (especially the articles on defence of the fatherland).

[[BOX:

N.B. The material on Martov is to be held up.[2]

Don’t forget!! i.e., don’t put it in. ]]

Au revoir!

Yours,

Lenin

  1. ↑ This refers to the Conference of the RSDLP Sections Abroad, held in Berne from February 27 to March 4, 1915. Convened on Lenin’s initiative, it was essentially a general conference of the Party. The main item on the agenda was the question of the war and the tasks of the Party, on which Lenin made a report.
    All the basic resolutions and preambles to them were drafted by Lenin. They were published in the newspaper Sotsial-Demokrat and as addenda to Lenin’s pamphlet Socialism and War published in Russian and German. The resolutions of the Berne Conference were also published as a leaflet in French, which was distributed among the delegates of the Zimmerwald Socialist Conference and sent to the Left elements among the international Social-Democrats. For the Conference resolutions see present edition, Vol. 21, pp. 158–64.
  2. ↑ The article “More on Martov” was published in the newspaper Sotsial-Demokrat No. 41 on May 1, 1915.—Ed.
