Note: The appointment of A.N. Asatkin as trade representative in Japan was confirmed by a poll of Politburo members on September 12, 1931.

On September 8, the Politburo confirmed the currency commission's resolution on concentrating 560,000 tons of grain at ports for warranting. Rozengolts and Mikoyan were to establish a procedure for storing grain at the ports that would not entail additional expenses connected with its relocation.
