Ten \\reeks Under
Bolshevik Regime

Fyfe's Downstairs Department

IIIALYSTOK.—Not only was the
late \\'ar the most horrible calam-
ity that could have befallen Jews and
Jewry in the occupied regions, having
been responsible for more troubles
than the race had to stiffer at any
time during its existence. The finale
of the war, however, was if anythinv.
even more tragic than the war itsch.
Recently the situation of the leas
in Poland and regions occupied I, ■
the Poles has already reached a cer-
tain improvement and it almost looked
as though things were coming back
to normal and the horrors of the first
years of war have entirely disap-
peared. A large portion of the popu-
lation of those sections has embraced
agriculture and farming and it seemed
that crops would he plentiful and Jew-
ish population would find itself well
supplied with the necessary articles ot
food. On the other hand, there ails
an abundance of subsidies from Am•r-
ica and funds would flow plentifully
from relatives and friends overseas.
The increase of emigration to America
also helped to relieve the tension. But
then, all of a sudden, the Bolsheviki
cante with a new invasion and a new
devastation of the country was the
result.
To be sure, enough has been said
about Bolshevik cruelty and the ter-
ror of their regime,—yet the truth
a as touch worst. than the Nvor.t ex-

Bolshevik "Requisitions."
To *gin with, the army would
requisition all cattle, horses and farm
products as well as tobacco and other
industrial plants. Even paper was col-
lected from every possible source for
the use of the Bolshevik offices. To
obtain their needed supplies, constant
searches of premises of those who
acre suspected of possessing anything
at all. became the rule. Those who
conducted the searches never hesitated
to appropriate as much as they could
for their private use, sometimes divid-
ing with the "commissaries" the
spoils. In this manner many a for-
tune was made during the war.
The next step was a designed at-
tempt 10 destroy all trade and put an
end to private property. All the large
business undertakings were ordered to
close their doors, nobody could safely
speak of his 11,1111e or store, as his.
all private property was "tabooed."
Finally a decree was issued by the
Bolshevik powers to be that no money
except that issued by the Bolsheviki
was to circulated in the country.
Those having money in their posses-
sion were compelled to exchange it
for Bolshevik paper and all the money
of the rich had to he transmitted into
worthless Soviet notes.
Jewish Situation Worse.
It is easy to see that the situation
of the Jewish population became
worse than ever. All lost their means
of livelihood, tradesmen and artisans
lost their jobs. There came a tre-
mendous rise in the cost of necessi-
ties; things which have already cost
a great deal became still dearer. A
pound of bread which cost eighteen
rubles, rose in price to 500 rubles (in
Bolshevik money, a ruble equals two
kopeks), a pound of potatoes would
sell for 2,500 rubles and a pound of
corn for 25,000. From week to week
prices continued to rise. Hunger be-
came the normal condition of the
masses. Many a young man, or young
women for that matter, to escape the
horror of a slow death from hunger,
would seek employment twills the Bo!-
. sheviki—and there were jolts aplenty.
One could become a soldier, a sani-
tary oflicer in the army hospitals, a
secretary or bookkeeper and so forth. .
I responsible positions like "commis-
sariates" were rarely given to Jewish
young men.) The jolts usually paid
from 3,000 to 10,000 rubles a month in
addition to fixed rations of meals, etc.
Thus, official employment with the
Soviet was very desirable to escape
starvation.
But while the Bolsheviki were
stingy in providing the populace with
physical "pabulum" they were liberal
enough in their work of "education"
which is the Bolshevik for propa-
gawk Lectures and meetings on I
Bolshevism and its "wonderful" ads!
vantages were acid everywhere.
Speakers abounded and pamphlets
were distributed wherever one could
be found willing enough to take them.
Intlatuatory addresses in which plans
were advocated for a holy war to
spread Bolshevism throughout the
world were something of every-day

occurrence.

The unfortunate position of the
population was even worse
that of any other. Not only was
there a designed attempt to make Jew-
ish economic life impossible, but there
was a concerted effort to destroy Jew-
ill religion. All Jewish schools, like
Yeshivas and "C Ii o d o r i ui were
closed, the teaching of the Bible and
Talmud was prohibited. all Zionist
headquarters were shut down.
Speeches were made by Bolshevik
leaders against Zionism. which was
called a "counter - revolutionary" move-
ment. in sympathy with the Allies
and therefore "taboo" to every true
Bolshevik. Proof was offered that the
Zionists have supported Denikine with
money and that the organization was
committed to imperialistic policies of
the Allies aiming at the restoration
of Czarism in Russia. As a matter of
fact, anti-Zionist propaganda became
an violent atul unreasonable that even
the wildest charge found credence
