by Petrovsky, September 2, 1915,
contains the following:
END should be put. to weakness
and softness. All right socialist
revolutionaries known to local
soviets should be arrested imnedi-
ately. Numerous hostages should
be taken from the bourgeoise and
officer classes. At the slightest at
tempt to resist or the slightest
movement among the white guards,
mass shooting should be applied at
once. Initiative in this matter rests
especially with the local executive
committee"

suits of the two years of bolshevik
control. The budget for the first six
months of 1919, as published in boil

Long live civic war, the only
war. in which the oppressed class
fights its oppressors."
The concluding sentences of the
proclamation were: "In 1919 was
born the great communist interna-
tional. In 1920 will be born the
great international soviet republic"
