To all members of the Politbureau

I am against the underlined proposal.[1] Such steps will merely create an impression of our weakness: as has always happened in such cases, the opponent will become impudent. I consider Krasin’s interview and polemics in the press to be enough. I request Comrade Mikhailov to ask Comrade Chicherin for my previous note to him on this matter, and to have it circulated also among the Politbureau members.[2]
