272V. I. LENIN2SPEECH ON ARMING THE TROOPSThe period <strong>of</strong> great chaos is at an end. A chief <strong>of</strong> staff hasbeen appointed and this will be announced. The period <strong>of</strong>vacillation is over. We felt keenly the lack <strong>of</strong> military orderand communications. It has now been established that thereis a great deal <strong>of</strong> enthusiasm and unity among the troops.It is now up <strong>to</strong> you <strong>to</strong> take things in hand, personally verifyevery act, the execution <strong>of</strong> your orders and assignments,see whether the workers’ organisations have been contacted,etc. The workers will help you in this matter. Let me giveyou some advice: you must check every report through thecontrol commission or through the regimental delegates,without relying on others <strong>to</strong> see that orders are carried out,or <strong>to</strong> check reports on s<strong>to</strong>cks. The best guarantee <strong>of</strong> successis <strong>to</strong> do all this yourself, <strong>to</strong> check everything, take account<strong>of</strong> all s<strong>to</strong>cks and verify every step personally.
