Note to the Secretary, August 26 or 27, 1919
This note was apparently written during a meeting of the Council of Peopleâs Commissars on August 26, 1919, at which the work of the Food Research Institute was discussed. The CPC decided âthat a report by the Peopleâs Commissariat for Health and the Peopleâs Commissariat for Food on the practical tasks of the Food Research Institute be made within three months. Within the same period, a report by the Food Research Institute to be made on the techniques of producing sugar from sawdustâ. = Fotieva wrote on Leninâs note: âFulfilled 28.VIII.â
Apparently at the same sitting, Krasin wrote a note to Lenin saying that 18 lbs. of sugar could be obtained from one pood of sawdust. Lenin wrote back in reply: âUnbelievableâ18 lbs. from one pood!! 45 per cent??? Sugar content? %?â = (Lenin Miscellany XXIV, p. 29.) Lenin frequently reverted to this subject (see present edition, Vol. 35, Document 230).
Notify the Food Research Institute tomorrow by special memo that in three monthsâ time they must present exact and complete data on practical achievements in producing sugar from sawdust.
