TO ALL HONEST

CITIZENS!

THE WAR-REVOLUTIONARY COMMITTEE DECREES:

Hooligans, profiteers and speculators are declared to be enemies of the people.

Persons guilty of these grave crimes will be immediately arrested by special order of the War-Revolutionary Committee and will be sent to the Kronstadt prisons to remain there until brought before the War-Revolutionary court.

The War-Revolutionary Committee urges all public organizations and all honest citizens immediately to inform the War-Revolutionary Committee, of all cases of theft robbery and speculation.

The fight against these evils is the task of all honest people. The War-Revolutionary committee expects the support of all those who have the interests of the people at heart.

In the prosecution of speculators and profiteers the War-Revolutionary Committee will be relentless.

War-Revolutionary Committee.

Petrograd.
November 23, 1917.
