Ed-| mund Walsh of Georgetown University at the opening hearing on Communists’ activities in this country before a special! | House investigating committee. Walsh, a student of Communism, was| with the Hoover Famine Rellef Mission in Russia in 1921, He said the Russian | government was at the front of al | world-wide revolutionary movement. | The revelution, he said, was directed without regard to_ geographical loca- | tions, adding the Soviet policy was to| | divide the world into two phases— | capitalistic and socialistic. Walsh said a million-dollar fund was set up in 1917 for foreign Communistic propaganda. Father Walsh said it was a mystery to him where the Soviet government received all of its money, adding that he thought it must come from the out- side. He said that through confiscation the Communist government had seized | all the wealth of the people. The revolution in the Fall of 1917 against the Kerensky provision gov- ernment that overthrew the czarist re- gime, he said, meant a triumph on November 7, 1917, for the Communists a minority in Russia. “Once in power,” he said, “they set| out to put into practice all the theories of Lenin.” $10,000 TAKEN IN HOLD-UP Robbed of Jewelry.
