Telegram to L.M. Kaganovich, September 18, 1931

Source: Tom 17

1) I have not read the resolutions on the NKPS and NKVod, since they do not resolve the matter. I think the issue now is not grand resolutions but the removal from transport of those leaders who have turned out to be incorrigible bureaucrats and their replacement with others not infected by bureaucratism and Menshevik skepticism. You may formalize this now, or you may postpone it until October -- it will hardly make any difference to the state of transport.

2) The idea of publishing a history of factories and plants is a good one. The proposed composition of the editorial board is unknown to me.

3) If you can, postpone the question of patrol vessels until my arrival.
