U.S. Communist Party founded By Russian Jews [quote from "Jewish Communal Register," 1918]: "The Four Groups Which Founded The U.S. Communist Party The National Workmen's Committee was organized in the early part of 1915, by representatives of the four leading radical organizations, viz.: The Workmen's Circle, the United Hebrew Trades, the Jewish Socialist Federation of America, and the Forward Association. The revolution in Russia having at a single stroke emancipated the Jews of that country, the Committee, _ . _ .though continuing its study of the Russian situation, has largely concentrated its attention upon the Romanian Jewish problem and is now engaged, in cooperation with various European organizations, in dealing with it." "The Roots of American Communism" by Theodore Draper, can be ordered from your local bookstore for $11.95. This is a detailed account of the founding of the U.S. Communist Party. Excerpt from the book: "Most of the others in the up-and-coming New York Group were more or less of similar background. They included Dr. Maximilian Cohen, a dentist; Joseph Brodsky, a lawyer, and his brother Carl; Rose Wortis, a dressmaker; and Harry M. Winitsky. They had a number of things strikingly in common; almost all were in their twenties, some in their very early twenties; they were mostly Jewish; they came over from Russia as children or were first-generation Americans of Russian Jewish parents; they became active in the Socialist movement in their late teens and were generally about twenty or a little older at the time of the Russian Revolution." The overwhelming majority of its leaders were Russian Jews. They were under the direction of the Soviets who also financed them. The chief Jewish leaders were Bertram Wolfe, who operated under the Christian name Albright. He served on the Communist Part USA National Council. The German born Jew, Max Bedacht, represented the Communist Part USA at Comintern meetings in Moscow under the Gentile name James A. Marshall. Israel Amter, a well known pianist, ran the 'Workers Party"-a Communist Part USA front group. Amter went under the name J. Ford. In 1917 Benjamin Gitlow, of Russian Jewish parents, was one of the first Communists elected to office (as state Assemblyman from the Bronx). As late as 1945 the Communist Party had two members on the New York City Council. Both were elected from Jewish areas of the city. Two Jews born in Russia were William Weinstone, (of the Communist Part USA Central Executive Committee) and Jay Lovestone, (editor of "The Communist" magazine). Mike Gold was editor of "New Masses." Alexander Bittelman served on the Central Executive Committee of Communist Part USA and as editor of the Yiddish Communist Part USA daily newspaper, "Freiheit". Alexander Trachtenberg fought in the failed 1905 revolution against the Czar. He fled to the U.S. and headed the front group, "Friends of the Russian Revolution. Louis Fraina, a Jew born in Italy, was the chief organizer of the original U.S. Communist Party. He operated under the name Ralph Snyder."
