ne SpeSCn OF GuON-N.
Comrades, we are now III the per-
iod of revolt. believe however that
no doubt can exist regarding the out
come of the revolt-we shall be vic
torious!
81 am convinced that the overwhel-
ming portion of the peasantry will
come over to our side as soon as they
become acquainted with our proposals
regarding the land question.
Long live the social revolution
which is now beginning. Long live
the Petrograd working class who still
achieve the final victory!
To-day we have paid our debt to the
international proletariat and delivered
terrible blow to the war a blow at
the breast of all imperialists, the
greatest blow at the breast of the
hangman Wilhelm.
@"Down with the war: Long five in
ternational peace!"
Sharp differences arose in our circle
again in the first days Of November
according to old calendar) at the mo-
ment when the right social-revolution-
lists and mensheviki were already
shattered and when it was the ques-
ton whether we would not succeed in
bringing over the left social-revolu-
tionists and the best section of the
mensheviki to the side of the Soviet
power. In these days | had to take
part with other comrades in the IA
nous negotiations with the then exist
ing organization of the railwaymen.
These negotiations led to a complete
agreement of the central committee
of our party with the then central
executive committee of the workers
and peasants councils. These differ
ences lasted actually from two to
three days, but during this time they
were exceedingly heated.
On the End of November, 1917, the
central committee of our party, in the
presence of Comrade Lenin, adopted a
resolution which, among other things,
stated:
THE central committee confirms
that, without having excluded anybody
from the Second Soviet Congress. it is
even now fully prepared to note the
return of the Soviet members who
have resigned (as is known the right
social-revolutionist and the menshe-
Wiki withdrew from the Second Soviet
Congress) and to recognize the coali-
ton with those who have withdrawn
from the Soviets, that therefore the
assertions that the 6oIsheviki will not
share power with anybody are abso-
luteIy devoid of all foundation.
eThe central committee confirms that
on the day of the formation of the
present government, few hours be-
fore its formation, it invited to its
session three representatives of the
left ocial-revolutionists and formally
invited them to participate in the gov
eminent. The refusal Of the left So
cial-revolutionists, even tho It was
only limited to a certain time and
subject to certain conditions, places
on them the full responsibility for the
agreement not being arrived at

This paragraph Of the resolution,
which was doubtless written by Com
rade Lenin, must be specially noted
by the reader in order the better TO
understand that which follows:
In the Pravda (the central organ
of our party was on the S0th of Octo-
Der again named the Pravda), we
read in No. 1s9 Of Nov. the following
