Please find out whether it is possible to obtain the full German translation of Šmeral’s paper at the Congress of the Czechoslovak party in the spring of 1921. I gave this translation to Comrade Axelrod during the congress. It turned out that the first part of the paper, up to the paragraph on moral crisis, is not there. This translation had been given to me by Comrade Krejbich. Please find out whether the missing part of the translation can be found.[1]

Has my pamphlet on the tax in kind been published in any foreign language in Russia or abroad? If it has, please let me have one copy of each.

Lenin

  1. A reference to the report given by Bohumir Šmeral at the Inaugural Congress of the Czechoslovak Communist Party which was held from May 14 to 16, 1921.
    Having received the note from secretary Maria Glyasser saying that Šmeral’s speech had been found and was being translated, Lenin made this remark: “To my library.”
