Washington, Feb. 12.-Success OF
the Bolshevik movement in Russia was
attributed to aid from the lower east
side Of New York by Rev. G. A. Sim
mons, formerly head Of the Episcopal
church in Russia, testifying today at
the senate judiciary subcommittee in
quiry into lawless agitation in the
United States. The witness said the
predominating Influence on Bolshevist
propaganda here was Yiddish He ex.
planned that he was not in sympathy
with the anti-Semitic movemen and
that in stating his views he meant to
cast no reflection upon Jewish people
in general.
Immediately after the Kerensky rev
olution early in 1917, DR.. Simmons
said, sentiment in Russia was pro.
ally, but within a few months when
the bosheyiki movement developed, q
strong pro1German current developed
with more than half the agitators
Jews, including many from New York.
The witness said a woman a member
Of his church and a teacher in Smolney
Institute, %Petrograd, headquarters OF
the Bolsheviki before they overthrow
Kerensky. frequently saw German OF
ficers at a council table with Bolshe-
vik leaders.
DR.. Simmons said he now was hav-
ing investigated reporte coming to
him on apparently good authority that
the governing committee of the north
ern commune in ePtrograd in Deem
Der, 1918, contained only 16 true Rus
slams, 265 persons from New York and
one American negro calling himself
Professor Gordon.
Discussing Bolshevik propaganda in
the United States Simmons said he
frequently visited the Rand School OF
Social Science in New York to buy
literature which he described as "some
Of the most seditious stuff | have ever
found"
He added that 10 out of 20 persons
at this school were Jews
The witness told the committee that
Bolsheyist agitators persistently fol
lowed him when he delivered lectures
in Russia and frequently distributed al
the door pamphlets entitled Seventy
six Questions and Answers on Bolshe
vism in Russia written by Albert
Rhys Williams one of the speakers
at a recent meeting In Washington
WHICH prompted the senate commit
tees new inquiry. A paragraph or
religion Of the Bolshevist shown IN
this booklet was described by DR.
Simmons as an interesting fairy
tale"
Questioned about an American
negro in bolshevists councils called
Professor Gordon, DR.. Simons said
in the United States he had been q
pugilist and later at Petrograd a door
keeper at the American embassy
Later he assumed the title of Profes.
SCR Of Physical Culture and Boxing.
At one time, DR.. Simons said the
negro wanted to marry "a Russian
lady" and asked him to perform the
ceremony.
"Most real boIshevists have hatred
for England and the allies and affec-
ton for Germany" he added, 'al-
though many displayed a tendency to
maintain friendly relations with the
United States"
DR.. Simons left Russia last October
and is now associated with the Wash
Iington Square Methodist Episcopal
church, New York. He has been in
Russia since 1907. He said he che
lieved In and loved Russia. But not
this bolsheyik thing"
After DR.. Simons had described at
length personal experiences involving
threats of death and terrorism In
Petrograd, Senator Wolcott OF Della
ware said:
II gather from what you say that
the whole regime is maintained by a
small minority through the use Of
terror"
THAT is absolutely correct" replied
the witness. Later he added that 80
per cent of the Russian peasants were
anti-bolshevik and he had heard
men say that three-fourths OF the
workmen hoped the b~olsheviki soon
would be overthrown.
Same As !. w. W.
After he had described the bolshe-
yistB as Opposed to religion Of all
kind and absolutely atheistic,n Senator
King OF Utah asked: do you see any
difference between the l. w. w. in
this country and the bolsheviki?"
Il am strongly impressed that they
are IDENTICAL replied DR.. Simons.
When questioned about Albert VIII
liams, DIR. Simons said in Petrograd
Williams helped the soviets and ''em-
.barrassed our consulate and embassy"
The witness told Of a mysterious
book Of Jewish protocols" Of I'm
known authorship, which he had seen
In Russia, purporting to show that all
great things of history since the Span
ish inquisition had been done by Jews
and promoting an eventual Jewish
conquest of the world.
BoLsHEviK AGAIN
ASSURED OFFENSIVE.
