PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The prob
lem of Bolshevism can be solved only
by all civilized mankind acting in con-
cert to put it down with the strong
arm, declared Baron Roman R. Ros-
en-, formerly Russian Ambassador to
the United States, in an address be-
fore the American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science here to-day.
Other speakers at to-day's sessions
included DR.. Talcott Williams, director
of the School of Journalism, Of Co
lumbia University; Henry w. Jessup
of New York; Morris Jastrow, Of the
University Of Pennsylvania; Abram L
Elkus, former United States Ambassa-
dor to Turkey; Charles Pergler, Czecho-
SlOvak commissioner in the United
States; DR.. Stephen P. Duggin, of the
College of the City of New orlS, and
David r. Francis, recently United
States Ambassador to Russia.
The triumph Of Bolshevism, said
Baron Roscn, would mean the utter
ruin not only of the Glasses but of
the "masses"
Threatens Civilization
"1f Bolshevism be not now extermi-
mated root and branch and if it be
suffered to spread any further it might
ultimately come to mean the doom of
our race and civilization" he said.
Referring to the horrors Of the Boil
shevik regime in Russia, Baron Rosen
said that since the publication Of
official reports by American and Brit
ish representatives in Russia, no fair
minded person may doubt their reality.
The Baron referred to an nterv;ew
with Lenine published in "The New
York Times" recently in which the
interviewer concluded as follows:
"Some of his remarks arc sufficiently
frank and illustrative of the sinister
form of moral insanity which dis
tinguishes the BolsheviK mind to be
q terrible warning to Western Europe"
Reference was made by Baron Ros'
en- to the picture of the "appalling
sufferings of the Russian people left
alive i'll the doomed capital of what
was once the Empire of Russia" as
drawn by Leonid AndreeH, and he
quoted the editor Of the newspaper
published by the Russian Information
Bureau in New York as expressing
the hope that the 'parlor Bolsheviks' y
would read this appeal and would un-
derstand the crime they are COM
hitting in going about and speaking
OF the regime Of murder in Russia
as new and higher form of democ-
racy.'
Russian Future Mystery
Looking to the future Of Russia,
Baron Rosen said: "No one can tell as
yet when and how the time will come
when the world will again behold Rus
sra reconstructed as a political entity
and able to resume her place in the
family of nations and her status as one
OF the great powers.
For the present all our hopes seem
to lie in the evolution out of the pre-
vaillng chaos of military dictatorship
such as must always be the outcome of
a prolonged state of anarchy, if the
teachings Of history are to be believed.
Some indications of the possibility
OF similar development are already
dlscernible. Admiral Kolchak, the head
OF the Siberian government, having
secured the recognition of his author
lty by General Denikine and other COM
manders Of loyal Russian troops, has,
1t seems, begun to use in his public
utterances the firm language Of die
tator conscious Of his power and deter
mined to render his will supreme The
task awaiting him-the task Of re-
establishing the reign of law and order
and OF reuniting the shattered nation
