To Kaganovich.

First. I have no objections to the resolution on industrial cooperation. If you intend to publish it, I insist that the resolution be issued in the name of the Sovnarkom and the CEC of the Union. As for the CC, a brief directive on implementing the resolution on industrial cooperation can be issued.

Second. Regarding the press announcement about the Shimbun-Rengo agency, I agree.

Stalin
