not believe it would have been possible

New York
Iiddish Used III Proclamations
With the Bolsheviki in power, he
said, many of their agents, among them
some of the most cruel, were Jews.
The country had been flooded with
proclamations in Yiddish, which had
not been liked by the Russians. Alto
gether such a storm of hatred against
the Jews had been brewing that hun
dreds had said to him:
eve know this is not "A Russian gov
ernment. 1t is German first and Jew
ish next Very soon there is going to
be~a big pogrom."
SO widespread was this feeling, he
added, that many of the people who
had told him this and who happened
to be Jews, were sending their wives
and children out of Russia.
Some highly educated Russians. gem
erals, intellectuals and people Of that
class, he said, believed that there is a
secret society-made up Of apostate
world by Bolshevik methods A for
mer business man, a highly educated
Russian, had put into book form in
formation he had gathered about this
alleged society, consisting largely of
protocols in which the society claimed
credit for most of the important hap
penings in history since the Spanish
Inquisition. If these protocols reflect
q real organization the matter was Sc
rious, DR.. Simons declared, but he had
found that everybody in the govern
ment to whom he had taken the matter
"was afraid to handle it,"
DR.. Smons added that he had found
the same predominance of the Jewish
element among the Bolsheviki in
America At the "People's House in
New York, a centre for distribution OF
Bolshevist literature in Russian and
English through the Rand School of
Social Science, he had found nineteen
out of twenty people were of the same
class he met in Russia.
Bolshevik Creed Atheistic
Bolshevism is not only religious,
the Doctor went on, it is anti-religi gious,
and has it in mind to make all religion
and religious work impossible. He said
the Bolshevik orators spoke much as
Emma Goldman has done on religion,
and they charged the misery and suf-
fering of the world largely to "the
superstitious belief that there is a
God" They are already training the
and Lunacharski, the commissar of
education, had prepared "catechism
OF atheism" for use in schools.
The Russian Church was not exempt;
priests had been arrested, abused and
murdered, the ritual parodied and the
churches profaned, he continued. He
believed, on the whole, however, the
Russian Church had benefited that it
had been awakened and strengthened
by martyrdom
DR.. Smons did not care to discuss
at any length the principles of the Boil
sheviki. "Trotzky said: We do not
want liberty or equality; we want a
dictatorship by tho prole etariat.' That
covers it, he said.
The committee tried to get some in
formation as to the Bolshevik attitude
toward women, but the doctor was en-
barrassed by the presence of many
women at the hearing, and spoke re
luctantly and in very careful terms
He finally told two or three incidents
of which he had knowledge. The whole
Bolshevist organization was encourag
ing immortality, he declared
"They are the dirtlest pigs that I've
ever come across" he said once. "Thes
arc so nasty that | can't put it into
words"
DR.. Simon added to the evidence be
fore the committee of the friendliness
between tho Germans and the Boil
sheviki. He said the latter often de
nounced the Allies, seldom or never the
Germans.
Seek Asylum in America
The Bolsheviki were less vicious il
their attacks on America than on othe1
of the Allies, he added. This, he de
clared, was believed in we'll informed
circles in Russia to be due to their be
lief their game could not last long
and to their desire to have Americ;
friendly enough to offer them asylum
when they should fly to escape the con
sequences of their crimes and the re
venge of their victims.
There were several Americans wht
were at least friendly with the Bol
shviki, DR.. Simons testified. The frs
