but under different names to prec1- 1 pitate a revolution and establish the 1 dictatorship of the proletariat' in the United States are being redoub1ed this spring; according to information received at headquarters of the Ma tiona1 Committee of United Ameri- cans, No. West FeTty-thiTd street. While the Reds were dfsappointed by the steel strike faseo, advertised as the beginning Of the revolution, they nevertheless are so encouraged by the trend of events that they are eoa- fdent they can effect the revolution not later than 1929. Next time the start is to be made fn New York city instead Of in the Central West, be- cause the Reds figure that the me tropoAs can be starved into subzsais- sion by a general strike in four days Meanwhile tho Reds cesnt on q financial panic within the next few weeks to help their cause along. A panic would cause distress among the wcrkfngTnen and thxs render them more susceptible to revolutionary doctrines.
 Detroit has become the principal center of radicalIsra in the United States, according to the Information received by United Americans. There are no fewer than 83 radical organ izations in the Michigan metropolis, and they are all extremely active. The House of Masses a popular gather ing place for radicals, is one of the busiest places in the city. It has a large auditorium, which is filled day and night by changing audiences, ea- tertafped by a continuous program of incendiary speeches interspersed with music and revolutionary propa- ganda in motion pictures. In fact, if the Government had not interfered with his affairs Ludwig c. A. K Mar tens, the so-caI4ed Soviet a1ahassa- dor" had planned to move his head quarters from New York to Detroit
 Cleveland ranks second as a radical center, followed by New York and Chicago, though all the larger c9t1es have large and active populations
 One effect of the recent Govern ment raids has been to cause the radical organizations to assurne a va T"iety Of aliases. For example, the Communist party is no longer known as such. Ii has assumed the in nocuoas titles Of 'eThe International Publishing, Company" alias ""The In teruatianal L3s47gne of Defense" The I. W. w. operates under any hcaa name that may be handy.
 The trick of aaaIsdoning old party names may account in part for the Governments hong Hst, now said to +nTInerate more than 100 radical or ganizations. Under their own proper names most of them probably wonId be fOHnd in the following list
