The role of Jews in social revolution and particularly in Bolshevism
hardly needs comment. Yet since the Jewish press has chosen to deny this
last and very obvious fact and still persists in setting down to
prejudice or "anti-Semitism" a mere statement of facts, it may be well
to quote here a few official statements on the subject which admit of no
denial.

First of all, it must be remembered that the founder and patron saint of
Bolshevism was the Jew Karl Marx, and that it was the Anarchist Bakunin,
not the Duke of Northumberland, who described him and his following in
the Internationale as "the German-Jew Company" and the "red
bureaucracy." It was therefore not surprising that when the "red
bureaucracy," avowedly founded on the doctrines of Marx, came to be set
up in Russia, it should have been largely led by Jews. This is what the
official British White Paper has to say on the matter:

_Extract from Report from the Netherlands Minister at Petrograd on the
6th of September_, 1918, _forwarded by Sir M. Findlay, at Christiania,
to Mr. Balfour_:

I consider that the immediate suppression of Bolshevism is the
greatest issue now before the world, not even excluding the war
which is still raging, and unless, as above stated, Bolshevism is
nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or
another over Europe and the whole world, as it is organized and
worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one object is to
destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.*[839]

Mr. Alston to Lord Curzon, quoting statement from British Consul at
Ekaterinburg, January 23, 1919:

The Bolsheviks can no longer be described as a political party
holding extreme communistic views. They form a relatively small
privileged class which is able to terrorize the rest of the
population because it has a monopoly both of arms and of food
supplies. This class consists chiefly of workmen and soldiers, and
includes a large non-Russian element, such as Letts and Esthonians
and Jews; the latter are specially numerous in higher posts.

Lord Kilmarnock to Lord Curzon, quoting information given by Frenchman
from Petrograd, February 3, 1919:

The Bolsheviks comprised chiefly Jews and Germans, who were
exceedingly active and enterprising. The Russians were largely
anti-Bolshevik, but were for the most part dreamers, incapable
