OF Antl-SemltIc Wave.
To the Editor of The Star:
On April Is there appeared in the
Mccullough which was headlined:
"Anti-Semitic Move in Russia Fore
seen" Further on he says: owing
to the probable death of Lenine there
is much fear and unrest in Kremlin

have been meant for Litvinoff Fur
ther he states: "It is determined that
Lenin will be replaced by Jew,
probably Kemeneff," which 1 suppose
he meant Kamenoff. Further in the
article he states that with the cleo
ton of Kameneff, Stain, Trotsky or
Zinoveff, oppressed Russia will be
entirely in the grip Of a small Jew
ish autocracy.

Jewish Are Accused.
Since the rise Of the bolshevist
movement in all countries, including
America, the press has brought
charges that the persons to blame for
that system W g a certain class of
Jews. Even l. re in America one of
the richest men has thrown his en-
tire strength, his power. his capital
to accuse the Jewish people of the
world OF being bolshevists. asserting
that they have created that system
and that the entire Russian govern
ment is controlled by Jews whose
intentions are to overthrow the gov
ernments of the world.
Mr.. Ford in his book entitled. THE
International Jew" makes the state
ment that "all proclamations issued
COW are in the Yiddish language and
that the Christian churches were
made into dancing halls and theaters
and their priests and preachers are
made to do forced labor while the
Jewish synagogues and their rabbis
are free to do as they please" In
order to bring the absolute truth be-
fore the public in regard to the rela-
tionship between the Jews and the
revolutionary movement in Russia, i
must say there was only one organi
cation in Russia which was strictly
composed of Jewish young men, who
never did anything criminal or ter
known as the Bund. The philosophy
and ethics of the Bund were not
but evolutionary and
educational. Their entire effort was
to educate the mass of people to un-
derstand their condition, and no less

his famous book, THE Career of an

the Jewish revolutionary movement),

tries into Russia.
Preached Doctrine of Love.
There was never a. man of Jewish
faith who ever attempted on the
lives of the Cars or committed any
crime of terrorism. The philosophy
OF the Jewish revolutionary party as
expressed today by Trotsky was this:
