WASHINGTON, NOV. 2O.--A life
long record of the anarchistic, radi-
cal, l. W. W. and Bolshevik activities
of Emma Goldman is contained in the
mass of evidence filed with the Senate
yesterday by Attorney General Palm
er in answer to the Poindexter reso-
luton. Among other records of par
ticular interest in connection with
Red activities is similar record of
Alexander Berkman's radical activi-
ties. t
In the report some startling reve-
lations concerning the activities to-
ward radicalism among the negroes
are made The Bureau of Investiga-
tion heretofore has had. little to say
about its inquiries into the recent
race riots throughout the country. In
fact, it has been questioned whether
tire Department Of Justice was giving
any particular attention to the race
riots. The detailed reports on radical
ism among the negroes passed on to
the Senate, however, shows that the
Bureau of Investigation has been
making most exhaustive study Of
all radical activities along this line.
Report on Race Riots
The report of the Bureau of Inves-
tigation to the Attorney General indi-
Gates that a former report had been
made by the bureau. 1t reads:
"Since the first report was pre-
pared there have occurred several
race riots in Washington, Knoxville.
Chicago, Omaha and Arkansas, and
the more radical negro publications
have been quick to avail themselves
of the situation as the cause for the
utterance of infammatory sentiment
-utterances which in some cases
have reached the limit of open de-
fance and a counsel of retaliation.
Every indication given in prev
ious expressions of insubordination
has been amply fulfilled in subse-
quent publications, until at this
time, there can no longer be any
question of we'll concerted move
ment among a certain class of negro
leaders of thought and action to con-
stitute themselves determined and
persistent source of radical oppOsi-
ton to the Government, and to estab-
lish rule of law ard crdcr
Threats of Retaliation
"Among the more salient points to
be noted in the present situation of
the negro leaders are, first, the ill
governed reaction toward race riot
ing; second, the threat of retalia-
tory measures in connection With
lynching; third, the more openly eX-
pressed demand for social equality,
in which demand the sex problem is
not infrequently included; fourth,
the Identification of the negro with
such radical organizations as the l..
w. W. and an outspoken advocacy CT
the Bolsheviki or Soviet doctrines;
fifth, the political stand assumed to-
ward the present Federal Admins
tration, the South in general, and in
cidentally toward the peace treaty
and the League of Nations.
"Underlying these more salient
! viewpoints is the increasingly en-
phasized feeling of a race conscious
ness in many of these publications,
always Z, 4gonistic to the white race
and ope.ly definitely assertive of its
own equality and even superiority.
"When it is borne in mind that this
boast finds its most frequent express
sions in the pages of those journals
whose editors are men of education,
in at least cpe instance, men holding
degrees conferred ~ Harvard Uni
versity, it may be seen that the boast
is not to be dismissed lightly as the
