1 The present notes were written by Lenin at a session of the Council of People's Commissars on August 3, 1918, in connection with the forthcoming consideration of decrees of the People's Commissariat of Food Supply, which were to be worked out on the basis of Lenin's theses on food supply (see pp. 122–124). The notes were written on a sheet on which Lenin was recording the speeches of the speakers.

2 This refers to a question raised by Zenit (member of the collegium of the People's Commissariat of Finance) at this session: concerning the suspension of the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of July 17 on the advance payment according to the budget of the Supreme Council of the National Economy for the construction of the Beloretsk narrow-gauge railway.

3 Kushner (responsible worker of the People's Commissariat of Labor) raised the question of the approval of a decree on the preservation of their places and average wages for workers departing to the Front.

4 This question was, apparently, removed from discussion.

5 The Resolution on the increase of grain prices was adopted by the Council of People's Commissars on Tuesday, August 6, 1918.

6 Lenin apparently has in mind the decree on a natural tax, which was subsequently discussed at a session of the Council of People's Commissars on September 21, 1918.

7 What conference is being referred to could not be established.
