“Comrades, strengthen your position in matters of public education,
insist on the control of the proletarian organisations over the
schools.”

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE OF THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT
The notes issued by Trotzky to the Allies and to the neutral powers,
as well as the note of the Allied military Attach?s to General
Dukhonin, are too voluminous to give here. Moreover they belong to
another phase of the history of the Soviet Republic, with which this
book has nothing to do—the foreign relations of the Soviet
Government. This I treat at length in the next volume, “Kornilov to
Brest-Litovsk.”

APPEALS TO THE FRONT AGAINST DUKHONIN
“… The struggle for peace has met with the resistance of the
bourgeoisie and the counter-revolutionary Generals…. From the
accounts in the newspapers, at the _Stavka_ of former Supreme
Commander Dukhonin are gathering the agents and allies of the
bourgeoisie, Verkhovski, Avksentiev, Tchernov, Gotz, Tseretelli, etc.
It seems even that they want to form a new power against the Soviets.
“Comrades soldiers! All the persons we have mentioned have been
Ministers already. They have acted in accord with Kerensky and the
bourgeoisie. They are responsible for the offensive of July 1st and
for the prolongation of the war.
