Yet the majority was with Kerensky, Tseretelli, and Plechanov, as the
following resolutions adopted by the convention prove:
The first convention of the Delegates from the Front, having heard
reports on current problems from the representatives of the
Provisional Government, members of the Executive Committee of the
Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates, and from
representatives of the Socialist parties, and having considered
the situation, hereby resolves:
(1) That the disorganization of the food-supply system and the
weakening of the army's fighting capacity, due to a distrust of a
majority of the military authorities, to lack of inner
organization, and to other temporary causes, have reached such a
degree that the freedom won by the Revolution is seriously
endangered.
(2) That the sole salvation lies in establishing a government
enjoying the full confidence of the toiling masses, in the
awakening of a creative revolutionary enthusiasm, and in concerted
self-sacrificing work on the part of all the elements of the
population.
The convention extends to the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers'
Delegates its warmest appreciation of the latter's
self-sacrificing and honest work for the strengthening of the new
order in Russia, in the interests of the Russian Democracy and at
the same time wishes to see, in the nearest possible future, the
above Council transformed into an All-Russian Council of Workmen's
and Soldiers' Delegates.
