began its inquiry into Bolshevism that it
became byword around the committee
room Always the plea came from the
radicals Bolshevists, -Bolshevists, rad-
Gals and "liberals' spoke, wrote and tele-
graphed their demands that the colonel be
given chance to tell the real truth about
Bolshevism. Naturally the committee ex-
Dected him to defend it to the last ditch
OF course, he was called. He said on the
stand that he had made no previous state

long before he finished il became evident
that the radicals, at least, had no inklng

would never have named him. For this re-

BolsheVism, and delivered the most scathng
and damnatory dcnunciation of it that the
committee heard
The last appearance of Colonel Robins
on the big stage was in Chicago, in the
dripping June days when the Progressive
convention of 1916 was writhing and foam
ing in its death agones. There he "key-
noted" and then presided, smashing a
couple of gavels, and finally swinging a four
pound steel sledge to keep in order the
bowling, distracted, undisciplned mob that
that convention became when charges of
treachery and counsels of desperation
hurtled to and fro. And he kept order
there, the sledge being backed by tre-
mendous personal force

found what seemed to be the fact-wh;ch
was that the Bolshevik government would
last for some time-he wanted immediate
action on it, without wasting time in dis
cusslon of the merits of that government
or It's leaders. He was continually Matching
schemes to make some use of them for the
Allied cause
Il wanted a demonstration" he said over
and over again of some plan that had been
baked by the dstrust the Allied represent

of US got killed was unimportant We would
have found out whether we could trust
them or not. My own belief was that we
could trust their self-interest, and use IL"
He dealt straight from the shoulder with
these leaders and believed he could make
them see their interests. He was asked
whether this would not have helped to
strengthen their government and thus have
aided them in their campaign against all
governments.

He showed the utmost contempt for the
men who used ideas of which thev could
not understand the meaning particularly
OF those who preached revolution, and were
horrlfied when revolution came He ex-
planned that revolution is not pretty; he
admitted the atrocities and explained the
Russian psychology in its sudden release

insisted that Bolshevism should not be con
