This draft was written by Lenin in connection with the discussion at a meeting of the Council of Peopleâs Commissars on November 27 (December 10), 1917 of his proposal for organising âa special commission to carry out a socialist policy in the financial and economic fieldsâ. The draft was adopted with slightly altered wording
1) Two or three engineers shall be sent to the Special Defence Council for the purposes of control and the drafting of a general plan of industrial demobilisation (Kozmin to be charged with forming this group);[1]
2) A 3-5-man commission of CPC members (and non-members) shall be set up to discuss the major problems of the Governmentâs economic policy (Pyatakov and Bukharin to be charged with forming this commission);
3) A conference of food-supply men shall be organised to discuss practical measures for combating marauding and improving the condition of the most needy sections of the population (Shlyapnikov + Manuilsky to be charged with organising this conference).
- â The Special Defence Council was formed on August 17 (30), 1915 âto discuss and co-ordinate measures to defend the state and ensure a supply of munitions and other materials for the Army and Navyâ (Osobiye soveshchaniya i kornitety voennogo vremeni [Special Councils and War-time Committees], Petrograd, 1917, p. 7).
By a decree of the Council of Peopleâs Commissars dated Decem-ber 11 (24), 1917 the Special Defence Council was charged with âthe annulment of defence orders or their reduction to a normal peace-time level, and, in connection therewith, the demobilisation of the factories and their switchover to peace-time productionâ (Dekrety Sovietskoi Viasti [Decrees of the Soviet Government], Vol. 1, Moscow, 1957, p. 214).
