V. Nekrasov, and P.N. Miliukov, read as follows:
CITIZENS: The Executive Committee of the Duma, with the
aid and support of the garrison of the capital and its
inhabitants, has succeeded in triumphing over the obnoxious forces
of the old regime so that we can proceed to a more stable
organization of the executive power, with men whose past political
activity assures them the country's confidence.
The new Cabinet will base its policy upon the following
principles: _First_.--An immediate and general amnesty for all
political and religious offenses, including terrorist acts and
military and agrarian offenses.
_Second_.--Liberty of speech and of the press; freedom for
alliances, unions, and strikes, with the extension of these
liberties to military officials, within the limits admitted by
military requirements.
_Third_.--Abolition of all social, religious, and national
restrictions.
_Fourth_.--To proceed forthwith to the preparation and convocation
of a Constituent Assembly, based on universal suffrage. This
Assembly will establish a stable universal regime.
_Fifth_.--The substitution of the police by a national militia,
with chiefs to be elected and responsible to the municipalities.
