Kamenev in code
It is hardly likely that we shall capture Warsaw soon.[1] The enemy there has built up strength and is attacking. Obviously, Lloyd George is deliberately dividing up the roles with Churchill, using pacifist phrases to conceal the real policy of the French and Churchill and duping the Henderson-and-Co. fools. Do your utmost to bring this home to the British workers; write articles and theses for them yourself, teach Marxism concretely, teach them to make use of the leftward swings of the Hendersons, teach them agitation among the masses—that is your main task. Lloyd George has been duping us with pacifism and has helped Churchill to land assistance for the Poles in Danzig. That is the essence of the matter. Maintain contact with the Rumanian Ambassador.
Comrade Chicherin,
Send it if you have no objection. If you have, we’ll talk it over on the telephone.
