Telegram to L.M. Kaganovich, June 9, 1932

For Kaganovich.

From the telegram about sugar beet it is unclear why beet harvesting is being separately incentivized with goods, if it has been decided that beet delivery will be incentivized at a rate of 20%. Who needs this double incentivization? It is also unclear why Ukraine is silent, when it alone produces three to four times more beet than the Central Black Earth Oblast. Such a question cannot be decided in a two-day deadline, and moreover without Ukraine.

It is necessary to bring in the Ukrainians, Odintsov, and several directors of sugar trusts, and give the commission a deadline of 5-6 days or even more, so that a concrete and well-considered decision can be reached.

I have no objection, of course, to incentivizing the delivery and transport of beet.

Stalin.
