SENDS CALL FOR
UPRISING in AMERICA
RED" LEADER MUST GET sup
PORT OR GO DOWN IN DE-
FEAT. BELIEVES u. S. is RIPE

The soviet government of Lenine
and Trotzky in Russia is facing ulti-
mate failure unless the "downtrod-
den workers" in other lands unite,
cast off the "capitalistic yoke" over
throw their governments and estab-
lish the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.
The United States has been selected
by the executive committee of the
Communist Internationale, at Moscow,
as the first nation in which an effort
is to be made to carry out this pro-
gram.
Instructions Taken From Courier
This information was CLEANED from
documents taken by soviet agent
captured by Lettish troops near Riga
while he was attempting to steal
through their lines and reach port
in Sweden or Denmark, from thence
to sail to New York city. He was
armed with an Austrian passport, but
the discriminating papers were found
in the false bottom of his box. Dia-
monds also were discovered hidden in
the heels of his shoes. After military
trial as a spy he was executed
From the documents taken from
this soviet courier it is evident that
the present soviet government is tot
ering and will fall unless strengthen
ed by the economic and moral effect
of similar revolutions elsewhere.
Lenine, Trotzky and their aides real
ize this, therefore they prepared
mandate addressed to the American
Communist Labor party, calling upon
them to unite Immediately in armed
insurrection and to overthrow the gov
eminent.
Must Unite to Save Russia"
"Unless the workers of other coun-
tries rise in revolt the Russian revo-
luton cannot last" is one passage OF
this remarkable document. THE
United States, next to Russia, is near
est ripe for the rule of the proletariat,
and we call upon the workers of
America to break their chains at
once"
''The stage of verbal propaganda
and agitation has been left behind,
continues the document. "There must
be a change now from economic
strikes, demonstrations, mass meet
ings and election campaigns to gen
eral political strikes and armed in
surrections which will draw all the
masses in with them"
Rebuilding Efforts in U. S.
Efforts of American radicals, work
ing in harmony but unders different
names, to precipitate a revolution and
establish the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat" in the United States are be-
ing redoubled this spring, according
to information received at headquar-
tiers of the National Committee OF
United Americans.
While the "Reds" were disappoint-
ed by the steel strike fiaseo, adver-
tised as the beginning of the revolu-
ton, they are so encouraged by the
trend of events that they are conf
dent they can effect the revolution
not later than 1922.
Next time the start is to be made
in New York city, instead of IN the
Central West, because the Reds fig
ure that the metropolis can be starv-
ed into submission by general strike
in four days. Meanwhile the Reds
count on a financial panic to help
their cause along.
Detroit Is Ped HOtbed
Detroit has become the principal
center of radicalism in the United
States, according to the reports.
There are no fewer than 83 active rad
zeal organizations there.
Cleveland ranks second as a radical
center, followed by New York and
Chicago, though all the larger cities
have large active radical populations.
Since the government raids the
Communist party has assumed the
innocuous titles of the international
Publishing Company" alias "The In
ternational League of Defense" The
l. w. w. operates under any local
name that may be handy.
Big Radical Roll Calls
The Socialist party has paid up
membership of $1,000; yet in 1916
the party polled 597, 900 votes; ra-
ito of six sympathizers to one active
member.
The Socialist Labor party has about
$4,000 members. The Non-Partisan
league, socialist in everything but
name, has 100000 members, "as radi-
cal as radical can be-" according to in
formation received.
The Communist party, one of the
most active of the radical organiza-
tons at present, has 688 branches,
with an aggregate membership of
more than 100000 in 25 states.
