Podvoisky

I did not reply to the second telegram because such an appointment does not depend on me, and in general it is hardly possible, as it upsets the whole order of things.[1]

The Czechoslovak (and kulak) danger is so grave that I think you ought to make (and Trotsky will probably agree) a tour of the Western and Southern (German) fronts, etc., to speed up the transference of troops from there to the Czechoslovak front.


Notes

[1] Podvoisky had proposed taking upon himself the leadership in suppressing the Czechoslovak revolt and counter-revolutionary actions in the Volga area and the Urals.
