lecree issued by the central executive
committee of the congress of work
mems and soldiers delegates, dissolving
he constituent assembly, says that the
evolution created the workmen's ana

lion able to direct the struggle OF the
exploited working classes for complete
political and economical liberation. Dur

In Control Of Kerensky.
The constituent assembly opened on
January Is and for known reasons gave
a majority to the social revolutiOniSts
Of the right-the party of Kerensky,
Tchernoff and AVksentieff. 1t is COM
p~rehensible that this faction refused TO
debate the just inc clear program OF
the central executive committee OF the
congress of workmen's and soldiers
delegates and to recognize n deciara-
ton of rights of the exploited working
classes, as well as the revolution OF
November and the authority of the
workmen's and soldiers councils"
This, the dee says, made a breach
in the assem- y and the departure OF
