To the Editor of the Nori-Cina Datty. News."
Sm—Being very interested myself inthe White Russian Cause and being in sympathy with the growing] common revolt against the Bolshe-vis, I wish to reniark upon some of the alarming symptoms of their clever provocation which at present] is undoubtedly intended to discredit this growing movement and to turn public opinion against the White Russians.
We are at present fully aware of the desire and efforts of our enemies to make this movement seem like th tion of hooligans and to represent also as such the outburst at the Consulate on November 7, changing at the same time the are like those' White Russians.' must also state that with several friends we were ourselves witnesses of such provocation ied] in the crowd at the Consulate on November 8 But any crowd is a] good arena for provokers and hole gans with the purpose of perverting a demonstration similar to the one! question, If the sympathy of the foreigners were with the crowd of Russians re-] volting against the Bolsheviks, and I believe it is still with the White Russians, Shanghai foreigners would]
doubtedly turn away from hoolans, and that is just what our chemics are working for at present. I have hoard already of the absurd, rumour that on Monday, November} the crowds at the Consulate was Jeompored of drunken hooligans who were shouting "Beat the Jows" and that the demonstration was not]
inst the Bolsheviks but merely' against the Jews with the purpose fof murdering the twenty women and ix child: at the Con-for something similar, the basis the defence of the Soviet Officials and T was also told that many consider the case ins already lost for the Whites. That is what they) think, Could it be possible? By this T don't mean to say or insinuate] that this provocation has come from the Jews, but I would like to draw the attention of every one to the} clever plan of the Bolsheviks of changing the present mighty shout} of "Out with the Bolzhoviks" to "Out with the Jews" or "Beat the Jews". Should this be done and made to appear og coming from the White Russians, no doubt sympathy for the White Cause would immediately decrease and interest for the driving] out-of Bolsheviks may cool—just what they need.
Leaving out the question whether this is true or not, the talk of the behind the stage part Jews are supposed to play for the World revolution, Anyhow. 1f we have evidence of Jew Bolsheviks and Jew revolu-jon aries, there are everywhere undoubtedly also many loyal Jews and; Just as sincere anti-Bolsheviks a3} others. We know Russian White}
Jews here who are regarded as} ites, no one being against them, and they know well themselves that] no. one would ever think of offending then-(but against hooligans, who} are bribed, no people could of course] be guaranteed).
Here in: cosmopolitan Shunghai ate Jews of many different, nationalities and ation them we count also true sympathizers, sincerely ready to help in cause, as they are themselves anti-Bolsheviks (we remember the much appreciated letter of Mr. Cohen). "But those other Jews, those taking part with Russians (Soviets) in Bolshevik organizations, they have not to com= plain if they receive their punish one day (let us hope they will) and they have not to shout then "Look they are beating the Jows!!", for insianee, in such eases at the Consulate, even if they should dominate somewhere.
We have but one enemy—the Devil, scalled Bolshevism with his followers and servants, without the slightest difference as to race, ree ligion, or nationality.
Tt is clear that nothing could be foamed for the Whites by shouting Beat the Jews" and "Out with the Jews", as even the most ardent anti-Jews could not expect that the Jews who have settled here could be expelled from Shanghai, or being threatened, would leave the place: It sounds absurd, Only Bolsheviks who are provoking such shouts would gain by it, Those of our {friends who are speaking through conviction against the Jews donot realize that they are playing at pre= sent into evil hands against: the feause they are for—but. they will no doubt see clearly one day.
Beware of agitators—the G. P. Us busy here just by our side. Beware of all those who were in. Bolshevik employ "and repainted "themselves "white" changing to revealing work, Although we cannot Judge over those remaining with the Soviets, Where our own. folk are kept as slaves, never trust those who here abroad where people are' free stand by God, kept serving. the Devil—don't trust. to their sudden white colour, Beware of provocation, Let everyone keep in mind the provocation of the agent Operpourt for trapping Rutsian leaders, which w revealed after leading sately through Soviet the prominent emigrant Shoulgin with the purpose of gaining his confidence for trapping General Wrangel, Beware now of secret organizations oven with the beat methods.—Ty is no time, with the agents of the G.P.U. everywhere among us, for us to follow blinds folded' a plan in which you may be mislead—your loyal energies may bbe dispersed by hooligans setting personal recounts of those who wish, Jand work for the decomposition of the white colony in raising whites against whites and a race against a race. Be gute your energy is directed againat our only enams-—the Devil Bolsheviem; don't Tisten to the whispers of hooded lenders, They may be afraid of revealing their leading hand; those who blindly trust them may find their trust rebound when face to face with the real leader.
At present in Shanghai among Russians many, if not most (not only those youthful friends of the defunct Bachtin, but also others) after a long time of sorrowful passive watching are aroused by a noble flame' of indignation and "revolt against the murderers and usurpers fof their beloved country, But let us hope none of those who look for a leader and is ready to listen to anyone who will speak to them of action and revolt will be mislead by agitation, by those who hiding cleverly their real sinister pur po are trying hard to drag our right cause into the abys Tam, ete For Ti: Ricite Cause
