Notes

[1] Its This document was written by Lenin in connection with the discussion of V. P. Milyutin’s report concerning the financing of Centrotxtil (Central Committee of the Textile Industry under the S.E.C.) at a meeting of the C.P.C. on December 14, 1918. Lenin’s proposals were reflected in the decision which the C.P.C. adopted in this. connection.

[2] Points 1 and 3 were crossed out by Lenin. A comparison with the text of the decision as recorded in the minutes gives grounds for presuming that Lenin did not cross out the points which were accepted by the C.P.C.
