A blow at international financial capital is the Soviet decree
which annuls foreign loans made by the governments of the Czar,
the landowners and the bourgeoisie. The Soviet government is to
continue firmly on this road until the final victory from the yoke
of capitalism is won through international workers' revolt.
As the Constituent Assembly was elected on the basis of lists of
candidates nominated before the November Revolution, when the
people as a whole could not yet rise against their exploiters, and
did not know how powerful would be the strength of the exploiters
in defending their privileges, and had not yet begun to create a
Socialist society, the Constituent Assembly considers it, even
from a formal point of view, unjust to oppose the Soviet power.
The Constituent Assembly is of the opinion that at this moment, in
the decisive hour of the struggle of the people against their
exploiters, the exploiters must not have a seat in any government
organization or institution. The power completely and without
exception belongs to the people and its authorized
representatives--the workers', soldiers' and peasants' Soviets.
