I propose, according to the draft sent down by the Constitutional Commission, that Article 126, which says for the purpose of developing organized independent activities ["For the purpose of developing organized independent activities" appears in Article 126.] be amended to give all kolkhoz and independent peasants the right to organize a direct Peasants' Union under every village soviet and which would directly handle all needs and clarifications with the central land administrations in view of the bureaucratic attitude of village soviets and kolkhoz boards, which in most cases lead kolkhoz peasants not to a prosperous, cultured life but to the collapse of the kolkhozes and their deterioration and the provision of public services for peasants should not be considered in a general way--[on a] nationwide scale--but according to living conditions, especially in the northern oblasts.
