I'll Russian.
Therein Comrades I4enine, Trotzky,
Radek Bakharin, Zinoviev, and the rest
CT the more familiar spellbinders say
nothing particularly new nor give hint
of any great change in the general
scheme to spread the reign of Russian
Communism over the entire world. But
the document sets forth briefly the zeal
Gus forensic efforts of the late John
Reed, Alexander Stoklitslly. Louis Frai-
ma, j. Jurgis and A. Bilan, officials of
and delegates from the Communist party
OF America and the Communist Labor
party of America, who assured the rest
of the comrades that American labor had
sent them and that they represented
American labor. Reed, who died in Mos
COW two months ago. made a fervent
plea for the negro and begged that the
congress make it easy for the black man
il America to enter the Communist fold.
The negro, Reed assured the delegates,
was about ready TO destroy his white
enemy Furthermore, he liked America
and had decided not to be herded back
to Africa Therefore it followed that
with the negro within the ranks of Com
munism America was about to fall into
the Bolshevist lap.
American Capitalists Assaulted.
This was received with applause not
much less vociferous than that which
greeted Comrade Stoklitsky's exposure
of the yellow press" in America for its
uninterrupted stream of lies and insinu-
ations" about the Communist party of
America. Comrade Stoklitsky delivered
that particular speech on July 3, and it
was reported at some length in the
Moscow Investid, the official organ of
the Central Committee of Soviets. In
the InvestiG of July 8. copies of which
were sold to the delegates, the following
ray of serene truth was shed that the
minds of the Comrades might not be
befogged with untruths:
Now, we see that you begin TO UNDER
stand your own needs and we therefore
turn to you as representatives of the
European proletariat using our great
experience in order to help you in your
struggle for liberation. We tell you
The time when European and American
capitalists were able to opprese you by
the force of their arms has passed once
and forever. Everywhere in Europe and
America the workmen are revolving with
arms in their hands against the capt.
talists and are carrying on a bloody
struggle with them.
French. British and American capi-
talists have tried by all means to defeat
the Russian workman and peasant and
20 make them their slaves They did
not succeed. The Russian worSmen and
peasants have defended their power
bravely, have formed their own army,
and have defeated completely all reac-
tionary armies supported by the Entente
capitalists.
Workmen and peasants of the Near
East! If you organize yourselves, If
you form your worlSmen's and peasants
power, If you take up arms and unite

Will liberate yourselves from your OPP

use the riches of your own land in your
own interests and the interests of the

TO exchange your riches against their
products and will be glad to send you
their help. About all these questions we
want to talk with you at this Congress-"

committee of the Internationale.
