"The Bolshevist cabinet, known ns the people's commissars, ceusists of twenty members, of whom Tretzky and Svcrd Svcrd lev are the only Jcwh, nnd they arc Jews merely by birth. Of the central committee of the Communist party, In cluding Tretzky, there ure four Jews out of thirteen. The se-called extrnor extrner dlnary commission, whose function It Is te suppress opposition te the Bolshe vist regime from within, is directed by a triumvirate, consisting of a Pele and two Letts, none of whom is of Jewish origin. Although Tretzky Is the head of the wnr department, hfa general staff Is composed exclusively of non-Jews. In The Cause of World Unrest, n list of fifty nnmes is given, most of whom nre classified as Jews nnd Bol shevists, in order te establish the thest that 'nenrly all of the Bolshevist lead ers are Jews.' An examination of the list shows that ten of the Jews Included In the list nre the leaders of the nntl nntl Belshevist movement In Ilussla ; ttint n number of theso who nre classified In the list as Jews arc net Jews nt all; that a large proportion of these classi fied ns Jews arc men who are se ob scure and held positions se inconspicu ous that whether or net they arc Jews Is net only uncertain but unimportant. They arc certainly net lenders. Fees of Bolshevism "On the ether hand, the leaders of the Menshevlkl, who arc the sworn fees of belshcvlsm, nre te a large extent Jews. "If the Jews nre te be condemned be cause of n Tretzky, who has never In the slightest degree concerned himself with Judaism or the welfare et the Jews, then there Is net a people that has ever lived that might net with equal Inht be condemned because In Its mem bership there were men who arc alleged te have advocated hateful doctrines. The Jew hns traditionally steed Ter re ligion, law, order, the family, nnd the' right of property. It Is, therefore, tne height of cruelty te chnrge him with re sponsibility for bolshevism, when its doctrines, should they prevail, would inevitably lead te the destruction of Judaism. It is especially a brutal charge when one considers nil that the Jew has: suffered from the oppressive and discriminatory laws of Ititssmn autocracy and from its effort te suji. press every aspiration that the Jew had for freedom." 15 MILLIONS WANT 10 GOME TO U.
