the department revealed, tonight ac-
tivities of these two organizations among
the negroes. Their attempts to organ
ize the negroes in support Of plans to
overthrow the present political and eco
nomic system were carried far and of
ficials admitted that this propaganda
had gone to such length that trouble
may yet be expected among certain ne
gro communities.
Mr.. Garvan made public Information
gathered by the federal agents showing
the nature Of the work done among th.
negroes
One document contains the following:
In close connection with the unskilled
workers is the problem of the negro.
The negro presents q political and
economical problem. The racial oppres-
sion of the negro is simply the express
sion of his economic bondage and op
preston. each inteusifying the other.
This complexities the negro problem. but
does not alter its prolctarian character.
The communist party will carry on
agitation among the negro workers to
unite them with other American com

roundup was the most completely
planned and the machinery was the best
oiled for this or any raids launched
against the radical element in this coun-
try. 1t was arranged some ten days
ago that the raid should take place to-
night and confidential communications
were sent to department of justice rep
resentatlves and United States attorneys
in the thirty three cities.
Department of justice agents desired
most Of all to capture discriminating doc
uments. such as literature and propa-
ganda showing details of the communist
organizations in each city. 1t was iD-
dicated that if such evidence were OBJ
tanned. deportation of the persons con-
cerned would be an easy matter. As in
the case of the members of the Union
of Russian workers. several score of
whom are aboard the transport Buford,
which sailed from New York ten days
ago, membership cards in the organiza-
ton were regarded by officials as con
stituting the best documentary evidence
on which to base deportation cases.
Labor Party Were Communists.
Officials said the only difference be-
tween the communist party and the com
nunist labor party was one OF leader
ship. Both have been endeavoring to
bring about the establishment OF soviet
form Of government in this country
since their organization last September,
according to officials.
Documents gathered by federal agents
recently show conclusively. it was said,
that plans were drawn up by the lead
ers of each of these parties to develop
score or more of soviets throughout
the country. These were to be merged
under a sosIet council similar to that
which now exists in Russia, according
to Mr. Garvan.

FAMINE MENACES
CENTRAL EUROPE,
ASSERTS BRlT0N

LONDON, Jan. 16.-S,r William
Goode, British Director OF Relief, who
recently returned from n tour of the
war impoverished countries of Europe
declares that unless the Allied and
associated governments provide cred
its for food and raw materials Gem
tral Europe is likely to become "a
desolate waste of seeding thistles."
England, he asserts, cannot do any
thing likely to be effectual unless the
United States extends credits in pro-
portion to her means. The crisis in
Central Europe, Sir William adds, is
of such dimensions and compleNity
as to defy isolated or individual effect.
Speaking before the American
Luncheon Club recently, he said;-
You cannot heal the wounds of
Europe by driblets of government re-
lief or dabs of humanity. The day
for palliatives is past Emergencies
such as that in Austria will not wait
for the emergencies of the League of
Nations. Little nations generated by
the self incubator of
the peace conference are likely to dis
appear even before they are old
enough to sow their wild oats.
"A comprehensive and far reaching
financial arrangement must be quickly
arrived at by the allied and associated
governments unless half of Central
Europe is to be aedesolate waste of
seeding thistles. The key to the ECO
nomic arch is organization of credits
Tor food and raw materials and the
export of manufactures on a regular
and ascending scale from the coun-
tries receiving such credit.
