2) special commissars to be assigned to backward areas and other
organisers with special tasks and bonuses ....

3) Food Commissariat staff, reform and “shake up” of staff.

4) workers’ inspection ....

Drafting of concrete detailed tasks for various local economic

Oblige local military authorities to give the food organisations
such-and-such (define which) military units for “food-army”

Notes:
[1]
This rough draft was made by Lenin in connection with the discussion by
the Council of Defence of N. P. Bryukhanov’s report concerning the speeding
up and increase of food purveyance. Lenin’s proposals were incorporated in
the Council’s decision on this question (see Lenin Miscellany XVIII, pp. 246-47).
