and capacities, and will receive from
society according to their require
ments.
The complete liberation of the labor
ing classes from spoliation and oppres-
sion appears as problem not locally
or nationally limited. but as a world
problem, and it can be carried out to
its end only through the united exer-
tons of workingmen of all lands.
Therefore, the sacred duty rests upon
the working class of every country to
come to the assistance of the working
men of other countries who have risen
against the capital;stic structure Of
society.
The working class of Russia, true to
the legacy of the 1nternationale, over
threw their bourgeoisie in October,
1917, and, with the help of the poor
est peasantry, seized the powers Of
government. In establishing a dicta-
torship of the proletariat and the poor
est peasantry the working class re-
solved to wrest capital from the hands
of the bourgeoisie, to unite all the
means of production in the hands of
the socialistic state and thus to in
crease as rapidly as possible the mass
of productive forces.

Head Calls
Proposed Allied
Force Inadequate

LONDON, Aug. 1o.-The forces the
Allies purpose sending to help the
Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia are pitifully
inadequate, and an attempt to accom-
plish the task with them would only be
counting disaster. says 1.-The Daily
Mails" correspondent at Vladivostok,
telegraphing on Tuesday.
DR.. Girha, the head of the Czecho-
Slovak organization in Vladivostok, is
quoted by the correspondent as saying:
Our numbers are being depleted by
constant fighting and sickness while
we are waiting for achievements, and
every days delay is to the advantage
of the other side. Poorly armed and
without cartridges, the Czecho- slovaks
are awaiting succor in the period of six
weeks before winter. If they are not
relieved by that time they will GER
tainly perish.

The fundamental problem of the con-
stitution of the Russian Socialistic Fed
eral Republic involves, in view of the
present transition period, the establish
ment of dictatorship over the urban
and rural proletariat and the poorest
peasantry, the power of the Pan-Rus-
sian Soviet authority, the crushing Of
the bourgeoisie, the abolition of the
spoliation Of men by men and the in
PRODUCTION of socialism in which there
will be neither a division into classes
nor state authority.
l. The Russian Republic is the free
soclalistic society of all the working
people Of Russia, united in the urban
and rural Soviets.
2. The Soviets of those regions which
ditferentiate themselves by a special
form of existence and national char
acter will be united into autonomous
regional associations ruled by the SEES
sions of the Soviets of those regions
and their executive organs.
3. The Soviet associations of the
regions participate in the Russian So
cialistic Republic upon the basis of
federation, at the head of which stand
the Pan-Russian session of the Soviets
and, in periods between the sessions.

The urban and Ujesd Soviets elect
delegates to sessions of the govern

The keystone to the nchoIe con-

artillery, cavalry, airplanes, grenades
or proper clothing, while the enemy has
all these. The longer the Allies delay
the more We dwindle. We have made
these facts plain in many kilograms,
and you see the result. Two operations
are necessary. but the force coming Is
barely sufficient for one"

tons between General Horvath and the
Siberian government are reported to be

instance of the Allies, has agreed to

revolution, after the overturn in Oc-
tooer the Soviet Republic proclaimed
the full independence of Finland and
the right of the Ukraine, of Armenia

their full self-determination.
In its efforts to create learna-
free and voluntary, and for that rea-
son all the more complete and secure

peoples of Russia, the Soviet Repub-

taken independently in the nleni-
potentlary sessions of their Soviets

democratic peace without annexations

free self-determirz-ton of peoples.
That standpoint is still firmly adhered
to by the Soviet Republic.
Compelled by the policy of violence
practisea by the imperialisms of all
the world, the Soviet Republic is
marshalling its forces for resistance
against the growing demands of the
robber packs of international capital,
and it looks to the inevitable rebellion
of the working classes for the solu-
ton of the question Of how the ma
tons can live peacefully together.
The international Socialist rebellion
alone, in which the laboring people
of each state overthrow their own i'm
perlalists, puts an end to war once
for all and creates the conditions for
the full realization of the solidarity
of the working people of the entire

Duties and Rights
Under Soviet Rule

Taking its stand upon the prin-
clples Of the Internationale. the Soviet
Republic recognizes that there can be
no rights without duties and no duties
without rights, and therefore pro-
claims at the same time with the
rights of the working classes in re-
Juyenated society the following out
line of their duties:
!. To fight everywhere and with
out sparing their strength for the
complete power of the working
classes, and to stamp out all at
tempts to restore the dominion of
the despoilers and oppressors.
2. To assist with all their strength
IN overcoming the depression caused
by the war and the opposition Of
the bourgcoisie, and to cooperate in
bringing about as speedy a recov
cry as possible of production in all
branches of economy.
g. To subordinate their personal
and group interests to the interests
of all the working people of Rus
STA and the whole world.
q. To defend the Republic of the
Soviets, the only socialistic bulwark

ism without sparing their own
strength and even their own lives.
8. To keep in mind always and
everywhere the sacred duty Of lib
Grating labor from the domination
of capital, and to strive for the es
tablishment of word-embracing
