{2} This refers to the setting up of a single forestry body—Ed.

{3} At its meeting on November 11, 1919, the C.P.C. discussed a draft decree for the establishment of a single forestry body. The Council rejected the draft and set up a commission consisting of representatives of Glavieskom (Chief Timber Committee), the People’s Commissariat for Agriculture and the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs, with instructions to put into effect Lenin’s proposals as here set forth. The decree was endorsed by the C.P.C. on November 21, 1919, and published in Izvestia on November 29, 1919. —Ed.
