its motherland,
and has struggled and is still struggling for the regeneration
of the Russian state, and is heartily interested, together with
all the other peoples inhabiting Russia, in the speediest
overthrowing of Bolshevism and the reconstruction of orderly
life in Russia. The Russian Jews have lost over one hundred
thousand of their brothers and sons in killed and wounded in the
war with Germany. Thousands of Jews are found at present in the
ranks of the armies of Admiral Kolchak and of General Denikin.

have been deported from Soviet Russia_ and are now dragging out
a miserable existence as refugees in Siberia, in the Ural
region, and in the border cities.

_The Soviet government has shot and is still shooting Jewish
public men, lawyers, engineers, physicians, and workmen who have

the falsehoods, insinuations, and calumnies directed against the
Jewish people in such profusion by the enemies of humanity and

In view of such facts as these, is it reasonable to suppose that
Bolshevism is a pro-Jewish conspiracy? Is it less than ridiculous to
suggest that the system which has reduced hundreds of thousands of
Jews to abject poverty, broken up thousands of Jewish homes and

conspiracy? Surely, every intelligent person must see that any such
conspiracy must necessarily require, as the first condition of its
success, a degree of racial solidarity never yet attained by any
people at any time in the history of the world. That solidarity could
only be obtained by assuring to the Jews their complete exemption
from the suffering and opp
