supplied with the financial credit
necessary to insure their success.
Lenin gave careful attention to
the organization of the agricultural
workers. Considering this section
o. the proletaIiat the most irnor-
ant, the most backward and the
most oppressed, he had since 1917
urged the industrial workers to help
the day laborers and the farm york
ers to band themselves together into
unions.
He understood shat the agricul-
tural workers were not only excel

Hardly had he returned from exile
in April, 1917, when Ienin, in HIS
celebrated tracts on justice, gave
par ticular attention to tho agrariaa
problem. He advocated the ini-ae~

Let us admit that this may be 80.

and we should give to the masses
unhampered opportunity to use their
own initiative. . F.. We believe that
the peasantrv itself will know better
than we how to solve that question.
Let Che peasants themselves de-
eide, let them mold their own lives"
Thi' confidence in the masses, this

defiance Of any tendency towards

affairs.
Faith in the creative ability OF
the masses and prudence IN the

At the same time, Lenin calle,I
ror the elaboration of the agrari9a
code, for whose adoption by the
Council Of the Commissioners OF the
People ard by the Central Pan-Rds-
sian Executive Committee he was
responsible. After its adoption
he announced that the party wcuitl
never hesitate to revise and perfect
it, 70 accept amendments and cor.

Even while showing the greatest
care FOR the peasant mass, whose
port III the revolutionary movement
and in the realization OF socialism
he understood perfectly. Lenin took
into account its heterogeneous char
ncter md drew his conclusions nc
cordingly.
Even before the October rcyolu-
ton, he dwelt on the necessity Of
forming a special organization OF
the prelctarian and i-proletarian
elements OF the ruril district. He
emphasized the fact that this organ
izhtion WIS particularly needed, tina.
it was indeed indispensable AZ the
moment when it would be necessary
to put agrarian reforms into nrac.
tice. By this means only could the
poor peasants defend their interests
after the partitioning Ct the land.

revolutionary peasantry in 1905 and
1906 that he took the idea Of the ma
tionalization of the lanu, VI the obo-
lition of private ownership of land.
He listened with strained attention
to what the peasant deputies to the
Congresses or to the Dumas Of the
empire had to say; he pondere,l the
minutes CT the Congress OF the
Peasants Union, the agricultural
plan of the group "Toil," and Gil
the documents having to do with the
state of mind and with the demands
of the peasant masses
The same was true In 1917. No
sooner had the pamphlet containing
242 complaints Of the peasants APP
peared than Lenin set TO work To
study it diligently and took it Tor
his guide. He did not allow himself
to become alarmed at the narrow
Inindedness of the social revolution
lists who were disregarding these
demands. He understood them in
all their profound revolutionary i'm
plications, supported them, incorpor-
nted them into the first agrarian
law and helped the peasans1y to
nsalize them for itself under tho
guidance Of the revolutionary com
mittees.
"Thcrc are those" he said to the
Second Congress Of the Soviets,
'who claim that the decree ITSELF

mentioned the fact that it would be
necessary 20 leave out of the redis-
tribution of the land small guam
tity Of large model tracts to be cul-
tivated under the direction Of ex-
pe-:enced farmers.
But IN the organization Of the ma
tional domains, he did not forget
the interests of the rural popula-
tion. In the law having to do ,xi.h
the social forms Or agriculture. he
emphasizes the fact that the sra
tional domains ought not to hold
themselves apart from the lnc,l,
peasantrs. but should be in direct
