"'We must leave Russia alone' he said in summarizing his views. 'We
should resume trade with the Soviet. The Bolshevist Government is
permanent. * * * While there are only 700,000 members of the Communist
party, the peasants, who represent almost 100,000,000 people, are
solidly back of the Lenin regime.'"
Among the Soviet devices which the 100,000,000 peasants of Russia are
said to be "solidly back of," is the following (it is particularly
interesting in view of the fact that Judge Fisher is judge of the Morals
Court of Chicago):
"'Some time ago, it was published that the women of Russia had become
national property,' he said. 'That is untrue, but the ease with which
marriage and divorce may be effected makes for rapid changes. Everyone
wanting to marry goes to what we would call the city hall and registers.
"'Inducements to marry are great. When people are hard pressed for
clothes and food they sometimes make a pact to wed for a day.
"'The next day they go down to the city hall and register again. This
time their names are put side by side in the divorce book. That is all
that is necessary to be divorced, and they have had a good feed in the
bargain.'"
Judge Harry Fisher, of Chicago, who has returned from Jewish relief work
abroad, evidently is one with the others in not being ashamed of
Trotsky.
Also Max Pine, for many years secretary of the United Hebrew Trades of
New York, had been abroad in Soviet Russia as "a labor delegate." He too
had many good things to say of the Soviets, among other things the
strange contradiction that the Jews are doing very well in Russia but
are not pro-Bolshevik!
Here are three persons from widely different spheres of life, yet each
one of them indicates a natural liking for the Kahal or Soviet, an
admiration of its methods, and a distinct good feeling towards its
rulers. For Sovietism is the rankest form of autocracy, and the marriage
laws of Soviet Russia are in full harmony with the program stated in the
Protocols--
"We will break down the influence of family life among the Gentiles."
Whether the Soviet-Kahals of Russia will succeed in completely
undermining Russian family life is extremely doubtful. The weakness of
Soviet rule is the same as that of the Protocols--a moral weakness that
must eat like a cancer until it destroys the institutions which it
infests.
