He commenced by saying: “W'hen I am executed—” The audience interrupted with “That will never be.” Lenin calmly resumed, “When I am executed, the whole world will see that I am right.” BACKBONE OF BOLSHEVIKS. “JEWS EXACTING REVENGE.” IP AUSTRALIA UNDERSTOOD. FREMANTLE, December 5. Captain G. R. Turner, R.N.V., who has just returned from Siberia, where he acted as intelligence officer and interpreter to a British Mission, said to-day that there" was now no such thing as law and order in Russia. Human life was the cheapest of commodities, while food and clothing were the dearest of all. Factories had been closed down, and primary production was almost at a standstill. The greatest enemies of the Bolsheviks were the working classes, but terror apd starvation compelled them to serve their inhuman masters.

The Russian situation had largely resolved itself into a religious war, the backbone of the Bolshevik movement being Jews, who were taking the opportunity to exact revenge for the atrocities perpetrated on them in the past. Lenin and Trotsky were both Jews, and Jews had the organisation, the brains, the money, and the force at their disposal to enable them to impose their will on the uneducated mass of Russian peasantry. The Red Army was almost entirely officered by Germans, and contained many German mercenaries. Persons srispected of opposition «io the Bolshevik regime were tortured or massacred daily, often with fiendish ferocity. The work of torture and execution was usually entrusted to Chinese mercenaries, who were made drunk with vodka before bing turned loose upon their victims. “If the Australian people really understood the Russian situation,” Captain Turner concluded, “50 per cent would volunteer to go and fight the Bolsheviks.”
