This is written on a note from the Managing Department of the RCP(b) Central Committee to Lenin, putting to the vote the question of authorising the Moscow Workers’ Co-operative to procure potatoes directly from the peasants.

A. A. Kissin and N. P. Bryukhanov took a negative attitude to this, believing, however, that the Moscow Co-operative could have its agents and acceptance stations under the gubernia societies. They held that, procurement in circumvention of gubernia societies would tend to breed speculative commodity exchange.

I find Kissin’s and Bryukhanov’s arguments correct. I vote for them. You can’t raise the question in the CC before introducing it in the CPC

31/8.
