she indicates that a small group,
a syndicate of 2,500, was respon-
sible for instigating to riots and
to murder.
She relates the background of
the group — the arrival of the
first Doukhobors from Russia in
the 1850s, the land grants given
them, the advantages they gained,
and proceeds to tell how fanatics
introduced n u d i s m, fanaticism,

hobors are seeing the light, that
they are recognizing the terror
that haunts their ranks. And the
response to pleas to reason now
may bring a change in the ex-
isting conditions of terror —
thanks to Simma Holt.
Mrs. Holt likens the Doukhobors'
small syndicate to the Ku Klux
Klan and to the Black Muslims.
Curiously enough, she traces the
Doukhobors' descent from the
Judaizers. She describes the in-
fluence upon the group of "their

"Another influence may have
been the Judaizers of the 15th
Century, who combined Judaism
with rationalism and who rejected
the divinity of Christ and the wor-
ship of icons. The movement was
crushed in 1504 its leaders executed
and others imprisoned . . ."
It is clear that the Judaizers bad
nothing to do with Judaism.
Mrs. Holt's book is a great con-
tribution to social justice and its
expose renders Canada a great
service.
