Chairman. I would like to express this with the strongest conviction of which I am capable: When the aristocracy of Russia was overthrown. nearly two years ago. the mass of the Russian people. as all the world knows. were untutored in politics and political selfgovernment. There had been scattered over the world refugees from Russia. there were thousands in Siberia. there for political crimes. They were not a bad kind at all. They were usually the kind that we in this country have felt a profound sympathy for. but there were Russians in other nations of the world. men who were pure anarchists. who had by their conduct elsewhere in the world drifted entirely away from the sanctity of organized society. away and apart from the real principles of civilization.
