tionists party.
Perhaps there are other mistakes in this list--but what is the use of
wasting time in checking it further? Here is another list, even more
defective, which is offered as a list of the members of the Central
Committee of the party of Socialists-Revolutionists of the Right. It
contains fifteen names, of which fourteen are Jews and only one, that
of Tchaykovsky, is a Russian. But Tchaykovsky is not a member of this
party at all and, therefore, not of its Central Committee. He belongs
to the party of People's Socialists. In the list I find the names of
Lvovitch and Berlinrout, who likewise do not belong to this party and
are not members of the committee in question. They are well-known
leaders of the Zionists-Socialists. Abramovitch and Khintchouk are
included in this utterly worthless list, though they do not belong to
the party of Socialists-Revolutionists of the Right, but to the Social
Democratic party.
I do not suppose that many of my readers will care very much about the
party affiliations of these men or about the factional divisions of
Russian Socialism. The fact that this latest addition to the pamphlet
literature of anti-Semitism emanates from Russian sources and is
printed partly in Russian gives it an appearance of authority that is
wholly unjustified by its content. It has seemed to me worth while,
therefore, to call attention to its clumsy misrepresentations, its
self-contradictions, its stupid blunders, and its stupendous
effrontery. This precious example of Russian monarchistic anti-Semitic
literature is just about fit to be placed alongside the _Dearborn
Independent_.
THE END
JOHN SPARGO'S BOOKS
"_THE GREATEST FAILURE IN ALL HISTORY_"
From the Soviet's own documents and from the speeches of its
leaders, Mr. Spargo shows how Sovietism in its original form has
failed to cope with unavoidable human inequalities, and under
economic pressure has developed into a high-handed autocracy
which is worse than Tsardom and which completely subverts the
chief aims of Bolshevism.

"Even those who may not accept Mr. Spargo's conclusions, or
respect his fears, will welcome his book because of the vast
amount of information and figures he has brought together
relating to the timely subject of trade with Russia."--N.Y.
