This should be given special attention:

1) demand precise reports from the Byelorussian People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade;

2) use their experience for the whole Central Union of Consumers’ Societies of the R.S.F.S.R.;

3) take steps to reduce the shortage of goods also outside the boundaries of Byelorussia.

Consult with Kissin, take measures and let me know.

Lenin
