“The originators of Bolshevism were exclusively non-Jews and to say that the Jews are responsible for Bolshevism is a deliberate falsehood,” declared Dr. Harold P. Morgan, president of the Buffalo Bible Institute, in an address in the Cavalry Presbyterian Church, on the subject, “Have the Jews Formed a Worldwide Conspiracy to Destroy All Governments and Set Up an International Dictatorship?”

“It is true that there were Jews among the Bolshevists at the beginning,” he said, “but they represented a small fraction of the Jews and the followers of Bolshevism,” he said. “Lenin, who belonged to the Russian aristocracy had not a drop of Jewish blood in his veins, was the creator as he was the motive power of the Soviet Republic.

FEW JEWS IN BOLSHEVIK CABINET

“The Bolshevist cabinet, or the people’s commissars, consisted of twenty members, of whom Trotzky and Swerdlov were the only Jews, and they were merely Jews by birth. Of the general committee of the Communist party there were four Jews out of thirteen.

“The extraordinary commission, the purpose of which was to suppress opposition to the Bolshevist regime from within, was directed by a triumvirate consisting of a Pole and two Letts, none of whom was of Jewish origin. Although Trotzky was the head of the war department, his general staff was composed exclusively of non-Jews.

MENSHEVIKI HAD MANY JEWS

“On the other hand, the leaders of the Mensheviki, the sworn foes of Bolshevism, were to a large extent Jews. Among the chief of the Constitutional Democratic party of Russia, an organization from its inception strongly opposed to the Soviets, was composed of prominent Jews.

“The leading anti-Bolshevist newspapers, which of necessity are published outside of Russia, have Jews upon their editorial staffs. An overwhelming majority of Russian Jews have been ruined by the coercive measures of the Soviets. They have submitted to the confiscation of their property and are undergoing unspeakable hardships,” he concluded.
