ment- The supreme executive is a
governing council of thirty members of
whom twenty are soldiers and sailors
and the remainder workmen including
one woman, who was elected from
among the factory hands. and also
one representative each OF the local
Socialist organisations
Ultimate authority rests In parlia-
ment of BIS members. elected by the
soldiers, sailors and workmen, with
three representatives OF each Socialist
organisation and three factory hands,
who are said to be extremely active
social workers and enthusiastic propa-
gandisfs.
The party groupings in the Parliament
already are clearly defined. The social
revolufionaries dominate In the general
political questions. being most eloquent
and active and mostly related to the
peasants. from whom come a vast ma
jority of the military.
