Francis confirms horrors of Bolshevism and warns of European peace
American Ambassador David R. Francis testified before a Senate committee on Bolshevik terror, denying recognition of the Soviet government. He described executions in Moscow and Petrograd, German influence in Russia, and warned that a continued Bolshevik regime blocks peace in Europe and may let Germany gain strength. He noted German spies pervasive in Russia and said leaving would mean mass slaughter of civilians. The witness, recalling 1916 to 1917 Russia, emphasized German control of industry and finance and the danger of allied withdrawal.
