con Compromises" lin this article
Lenin proposes, under certain condi-
tons, an agreement with the men,
sheviki and the social revolutionists)
Ny error consisted in the fact that
endeavored to continue the line of
the article con Compromises" some
days later. In all only few days, but
the days at that time counted as
months.
In the famous sitting of the Central
Committee of the 10th Of October, at
which the revolt was decided on, and
at which for the first time differences
of opinion regarding the time to be
fixed for the revolt and as to judging
the prospects in the Constitutional AS
sembly arose between me and Kamen-
ev on the one side and the rest Of the
members of the c. c. on the other
Iside, the first political bureau of the
c. c. for the leadership of the revolt
was created. The seven following
comrades were elected to this political
bureau: Lenin, Zinoviev, Kamenev,
Trotsky, Stain, Sokolnikov and Bub-
nov. In the no less important joint
meeting of the Central Committee and
number of Petrograd funtionaries on
the 10th of October, after the debates
between Comrade Lenin and our
selves, 10 votes were cast for the
motion Of Comrade Lenin in its final
form; 2 were against and neutral;
while my motion was introduced BY
COmrade VoIodarsky as an amend
ment to the motion of Comrade Lenin.
My amendment read that "in the next
five days before meeting our comrades
and before discussion we must not ar
range any revolt" My written motion,
which was submitted to the vote at
this meeting, read: without post
poning the measures for investigation
and preparation, it is decided that no
action be permitted before consulta-
ton with the bolshevist section of the
Soviet congress-"
1t was at this time that Comrade
Lenin wrote his famous articles
against rs. continued to work dill
gently for the Pravda. When the
action was finally decided on, in order
to silence the exaggerated rumours
which had appeared in the press re-
garding our differences wrote a short
letter to the editor which was pub
lished by the central organ with a
comment of the editor that the dis
pute was ended and that in essentials
we were and remained of one mind.
("Pravda," 21st November, 1919
The unsigned leading article which
appeared in our central organ IRA
botshi Put" (The Path of the Work
ers), which appeared in place Of
Pravada, on the day OF the revolt
October 20, was written by me. The
second article was likewise written
by me and was signed by me. In this
last article we read:
1T is a great task which confronts
the second Soviet congress. The
events of history are followed each
other with breathless speed. The final
hour is approaching. The least further
hesitation brings the danger OF i'm
mediate collapse. :"
"The last hopes for a peaceful solu-
ton of the crisis are past. The last
peaceful hopes which, must confess
up to the last days were cherished
by the writer Of these lines have been
dispelled by facts"
"All Power to the SovIets.--It is here
that everything is being concentrated
at the present historical moment"
In the number of our central organ
"Rabotshi Put" which appeared on
October rs. short report was pub

period Of illegality in the sitting of the
Petrograd Soviet of October 25, the
day Of the revolt. Here we read as
