DEGREES IMPLICATIONS
AGAINST RUSSIAN JEWS
A. ]. Sack Asserts People as a
Whole Are Fighting Against
Bolshevism.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, February IA J.
ton bureau in the United States, has
issued the following statement:
REV. DR.. George S. Simons. in his
interesting statement before the SEN
ate committee investigating bolshe-
vism, emphasized, among many other
things, the role which some Jews are
playing in the bolshevfst movement
in Russia Although DR.. Simons him
self stated that the facts he discloses
cannot be referred to the Jewish peo-
pie as whole, his statement, never
theless. may produce upon the read
ers' mind wrong and deplorable inn
preston.
ut is true that Trotsky. Kamenev.
Suerdlov and some older bolshevist
leaders are Jews, but on the other
hand Lenin, who represents the brains
and the will power beside the boIshevist
movement, the man who built up the
theory of bolshevism and is the strong
est In endeavoring to build it up as
practice, Is Russian nobleman by
birth. Many older leaders of bolshsvisn
SUCH as Lunacharsky, Krylenko and
Dybenko are also Russians. A wrong
iHPtCsSit'h aS 10 tHS IOfc INC jews are
playing in the bolshevist movement may
be further produced by the fact that
DR.. Simons while mentioning that
Trotsky is a Jew, omitted 20 mention
that Dora kaplan who was executed
for trying to azsassinate Lenin, was also
Jewish. And while Joffe is a Jew.
Kamkof. the leader OF the left wing of
the party of socialists, revolutionists
who participated in the assassination of
Count Won Mirbach and was therefore
executed by the bolsheviki. was also
Jew.
'His real name was Katz. The Jew
ish people as a whole, not only the
middle class, but also the laboring
masses and their leader, are actively
fighting against bolshevism in Rus
STA. They look upon bolshevism as
movement which destroys the prob
ability for democracy in Russia, the
possibility of order, under which all
the nationalities inhabiting Russia
will enjoy liberty and equal rights.
1T is important to realize, if we
want to be elective in the struggle
against bolshevism, that bolshevism
is an international movement in
lions and nationalities participate.
The Russian Jews can be as much ac-
cused of creating and supporting the
bolshevism movement as the Lettish
or Chinese people can be accused of
it, because of the fact that some of
the Lettish and even Chinese ele-
ments are very active in the move
ment on destroying Russia.

Representative Jeanette Rankin
Of Montana, in an address before a
mass meeting last night of the woman
employees affiliated with the Woman's
Trade Union League, held under the
AUSPICES of the Central Labor Union.

hearers that wages should be based
upon the value of the work produced,
and not upon the high cost of living.
The meeting was to promote the
movement for better pay for women.
"a living wage" Miss Rankin said,
Should be more than an amount suf-
ficient to provide food and clothing
from day to day"
Other speakers advocating better
pay for women were Miss Ma bel Gil
lespie of the Massachusetts, minimum
wage board and Miss Agnes Hester,
president of the Chicago Women's
