On Propaganda for Armed
Revolt Against the Whites

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-lTnlon of
the American negroes with the radical
elements Of all nations to further the
e-use Of world Sovietism was urged
before the Moscow meeting Of the Com
munist 1nternationa!e by the late John
Reed. American radical and magazine
writer, according to the text of his
speech received here in official dis
patches from Russia. Lenine and
Trotzky also spoke at the same meet
ing.
Describing the position of the negro
in the United States, especially in the
southern states, as terrible, Reed de-
clared the negro offered two-fold
opportunity to the spread of Commun-
ism IN this country: first, strong
race and social movement. and second,
strong proletarian movement Race
consciousness had steadily increased
among the negroes, he said "a GER
tam section of them are now carrying
on propaganda in favor Of armed
revolt against the whites and Social
among the blacks employed in indus,
trial establishments" Reed asserted.
Wants Both Races in Same Unions
White and negro 'abor in bot, the
northern and southern parts of the
labor unions, Reed proposed as the
quickest way to destroy race prejudice
and develop class solidarity Until re-
Gently negroes were rot admitted to
membership in the majority of unions,
which comprise the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, he said
ne communists must not, however
stand aloof from the negro movement
Tor social and political equality, which
IS developlng so rapidly at the pres

Reed told the meeting. Communist
must avail themselves of this move.

Tells Of Negroes in South
Describing the status Of the negro
N America Reed asserted that, despite
their constitutional right to the bal
lot, IN the Southern states negroes
were killed if they dared to exercise
this right, and that the use of separate
schoo S, hotels and theaters existed in
all parts Of the country.
This separation Of the negro from
the white is called the Jim Grow sys
TEN, and the clergy of the Southern
churches teach that there is also
heaven where the jim Crow system is
in operation" Reed declared.
