Simon Wolf is part of a movement to send a petition to Emperor Nicholas II and Russia regarding discrimination against Jews. Wolf is willing to stop the petition if it would damage the Roosevelt administration or the country’s interests. He believes Russia is actively working to prevent the petition, including attempts to sway public opinion by bribing journalists. Wolf warns that Russia is masquerading as a friend but is aiming to “absorb China and the Eastern trade.”
