The Ministry of Commerce and Industry was taking measures to restore enterprise by private capital and individual initiative. Many new commercial laws would be passed, including one allowing the free sale of gold. A Council for Native Affairs bad been created and native assemblies would be convened to operate where other organizations did not exist. Free development of every nationality would be assisted by autonomy. The Government had no objection to the nationalization of land, but it would take no responsibility for such a measure, particularly because the All-Russian Constituent Assembly had waived decision in favor of the Siberian Constituent Assembly.
