Boosts j As a Prophet
and Counkjls The Study of
Bolshevism in U. S.
(Br the Associated Tim.)
Washington, Mar. 6. Raymond Bob
inc, of Chicago, former head of the
American Red Cross Mission to Russia,
told the Senate investigating committee
today there was a fundamental menace
for the world in Russian Bolshevism
and suggested mean for . combatting
its spread. The .witness said a year ago
Kickolai Lenine, Bolshevik Premier,
had correctly forecast how Bolshevist
ideal would take toot in Bulgaria, Aus
tria and Germany in the order named
Mr. Robins quoted Lenine as declar
ing in his opinion the American gov
ernment was entirely " corrupt and as
I adding: "We ehallenge every govern-
... TYC. in -iti4iiwagfci
at the siime timers will destroy all
unceasing opposition to too principles
or Bolshevism, bota w Russia and in
the United States waa advocated by Mr.
Robins, but he warned against the use
of military force and the arbitrary sup
pression of ideas. The witness said the
United State should send an economic
mission to Russia to aid the people in
obtaining tha necessities of. Jife, declar
ing this would be the most effeetlv
way of fighting Bolshevism.
Learn tha Trutl Ta. Fight It. .
To combat Bolshevism in this coun-
HryT-a&K" Robins urged tbo people be al
lowed to know the truth about its ' false
teachings" and that existing evils in
American economic and social life be
remedied by law, Publicity he added
would, prompt tha repudiation of Bol
shevism. In urging withdrawal of American
and allied military forces from Russia,
Mr., Robins outlined the policies of the)
American ana. allied government wnien
he said led to intervention and told the
committee the sending of the troops had
helped to precipitate tha "red terror."
Ia this connection, the witness said
the Russian soviet government agreed
in February, 1918, to denounce . ths
Brest-Htovsk treaty and resume the
war against Germany if the United
States and Great Britain would astur
co-operation", bnt that despite hie own
efforts and those ot R. A. B. Lockhart,
British High Commissioner, to lnduco
the governments to agree no response,
wa received and the treaty ws ap
proved at Moscow.
Make A Race For It, Be Saggveta.
The Bolshevists do not desire recog
nition by the United States, Mr. Robins
testified, but they would welcome assist
ance in restoring the ecoo(fmic life of
the country. He explained the Bol
shevist leaders feel that their position
as international revolutionaries would
be weakened by formal treaties with
other governments. Asserting Lenine
preferred co-operation -with America
rather than Germany, Mr. Robins said
peaceable restoration of Russia, Oer
many inevitably would obtain a new
foothold.
The witness gave it as his opinion
America had "failed to connect' In the
Russian story" partly because ef the
men sent to Russia to represent the
United States government. He men
tioned especially Klihu Root, who, ht
said, was attacked in Russia as having
been the man who tried to make the
United States "safe for plutocracy."
Other Factors. .
Other factors, according to the wit
ness, were the stories told by Russians!
who returned to Russia from the United
States after 'the revolution. These men !
seemed all to have been living in bad
spots, Mr. Robins said, and tbey brought
back' with them ialse ideas about the
United States, which they pictured as
"a heaven of capitalists and. a hell for
workingmen." '
Mr. Robins testified stories of atroci
ties in Russia before his departure were
largely false, declaring he was "im
pressed by the lack of destruction of
life,"" and adding he believed it would
have been much greater in the United
States under similar circumstances. .He
blamed anarchist groups for many of
the aets of terror. '
The Soviet program was denounced
by the witness, who described it ss be
ing "economically impossible and moral
ly wrong." He concluded his testimony
with a renewed appeal that the people,
in this country try to understand Bol
shevism in itsjrue light in order to
combat its menace.
