And our comrades who have beeni placed in power by the revolution were not only no wizards, but Menshevists, who' neither believe themselves nor seek toi persuade the outside world that a dictatorshipi endows them with magical powers. However much the Government might strive to keep the tasks which it set itself within the bounds of economic possibilities, the everlasting demands which were pressed upon it surpassed so much the extent of the available income of-the State that the printing press was the only resource which was left. Consequently, there was a constant fall in the value of the rouble, and a continual increase in prices. The evil was still more accentuated by the adverse trade balance.
