mony recently given by witnesses
against Semenoff before the Senate
Labor Committee, Borah declared
that the "hideous story" of the
Russians "revolting, murderous tao.
tics furnished one of the most hor-
rible pages of history"
What was the motive OF Semen
off-just sheer observation-disclosures" in
quired Senator McCumber (Rep) OF
North Dakota.
Blood -thirstiness doubtless had n
lot to do with the slaughter OF thou
sands Of helpless men, women and
children and ordered by him in
Siberia" Borah answered.
But whatever his reasons may
have been / think that 1t has been
clearly established that he sought
to create a reign OF terror by which
he hoped to set himself up as the
autocratic ruler OF that part OF ST.
IBERIA which he terrorized.
There is indisputable evidence
that men, women and children were
herded together like dumb animals
by Semenoffs cossacks, hauled like
helpless cattle to slaughter and,
after being shot and cut down, push.
ed into great holes or bitches In the
ground which had previously been
prepared for their burial and in
which many Of them were inferred

Evidence of the romantic tempera-
