One of the chief concerns now must become work among those being mobilized, to aid mobilization, and among the mobilized. Communists and those sympathetic to them in all places where the mobilized are concentrated, or where there are garrisons and especially reserve battalions and the like, must be mobilized en masse. Without exception, all of them must unite and work—some daily, others, say, 4 or 8 hours weekly—to aid mobilization and among the mobilized, among soldiers of the local garrison. Of course, this must be done in a strictly organized manner, with each person assigned to corresponding work by the local party organization and military authority.

The non-party population or that belonging to a non-Communist party is, of course, not in a position to work ideologically against Denikin or Kolchak. But to exempt it from all work on that basis is impermissible. One must seek all possible means to obligate the entire population en masse (and first and foremost the more well-to-do, both in the cities and in the countryside) to contribute in one form or another to aid mobilization or the mobilized.

A special category of aid measures must be assistance in the swiftest and best possible training of the mobilized. Soviet power calls upon all former officers, non-commissioned officers, and so forth. The Communist Party, and following it all sympathizers and all workers, must come to the aid of the workers' and peasants' state by, first, in every way assisting in the ferreting out of former officers, non-commissioned officers, and the like who are evading their call-up, and second, organizing under the control of or within the party organization groups of those who have studied military affairs theoretically or practically (for example, by participating in the imperialist war) and are in a position to contribute their share of usefulness.
