To say that the Jews are responsible
for Bolshevism is deliberate false
hood. The originators of Bolshevism
were exclusively non-Jews. While it
is true that there are Jews among the
BOlshevists, notably Trotsky, they rep
resent small fraction of the Jews
and of the followers of Bolshevism.
Lenine. who belonged to the Russian
aristocracy and has not drop OF Jew
ish blood in his veins was the crea-
tor as he has been the motive power
Of the Soviets. Tchicherin. who has
conducted their foreign affairs, Buch-
arin, Krassin and Kalinin, all non
Jews, are, with Lenine, the brains of
the Communist party.
The Bolshevist cabinet. known as
The Peoples COmmissars, consists of
twenty member. of whom Trotsky and
Sverdlov are the only Jews. and they
are Jews merely by birth. of the
Central Committee Of the Communist
Party, including TrOtsky, there are
four Jews out of thirteen. The So
called Extraordinary Commission.
whose function it is to suppress OPP
position to the BOlshevist regime from
within, is directed by a triumvirate
consisting of Pole and two Let's. none
of whom is Of Jewish origin. AlthO
TrOtsky is the head of the War De-
partment. his General Staff is COM
posed exclusively of nOn-,Jews.

list Of fifty names is given, most of
whom are classified rs Jews and Boil
shevists, in order to establish the
thesis that nearly all of the BOlshe-
visit leaders are Jews" Al examination
of the list shows that ten of the Jews
included in the list are the leaders of
the anti-Bolshevist movement in Rus
STA; that Number of thooe who arc
classified in the list as Jews are not
Jews ut all that IL large proportion
who are so obscure and hold positions
so incOnspicuous that whether or not
they are Jews is not only uncertain
hut unimportant. They are certainly
not leaders. q
On the other hand, the leaders Of
the Menshevviki, who are the sworn
foes of BOlshevism, are to a large
extent Jews. Among the chiefs of the
Constitutional Democratic Party of
Russia, who are strongly opposed to
the Soviets, are Ninaver. Sliosberg.
Pasmanik, Kaminka. Landau and
Friedman, all prominent Jews. Among
the leaders of the Peoples Socialist.

cratic parties. bitter opponents of tht
Bolsheviks, are large number of
Jews. The leading BOlshevist
newspapers. which of :,ecessity are
published outside of Russia, have Jews
upon their editorial staff. An over
whelming majority of Russian Jews
have been ruined by the coercivc
measures of the Soviets. They have
submitted to the confiscatiOn of their
property and are undergoing unspcak-
able hardships. The Orthodox Jews,
whose numbers, preponderate. remain
ing loyal to the faith of their fathers,
regard the Bolsheviks AS the enemies
of all religion. and, therefore, hold
the doctrines of lBolshevism in abhor-
renee. With comparatively few cx-'i
captions the Jews are looked upon by
the Bolsheviks as belonging to the
hated bourgeoisie and as favoring
capitalism. The Zionists. who consti-
tute numerous and important elc-
rient of the Jews of Russia. have been
denounced by the Soviets as counter
revolutionary. and many of them have
been cast into prison and threatened

If the Jews are to be condemned be-
cause of 1rotsky, who has never in
the slightest degree concerned himself
with Judaism or the welfare of the
Jews, then there is not a people that
has ever lived that might not with
equal right be condemned because in
its membership there were men who
are alleged to have advocated hateful
doctrines. The jew has additionally
stood for religion, law, order, the fam
lily. and the right of property. 1t is,
