WHAT MANN THINKS.
NEGROES IN AFRICA. WAR AGAINST MASTERS. LONDON, July 9. "Six million negroes in South Africa are waiting for the Third International to stir up class warfare against white plantation owners, capitalists, and workers, numbering 1,500,000," said Tom Mann, representing the British Communists, addressing the Comjnunist International, Moscow (reports the Riga correspondent of the "Daily Mail"). He said the revolution would be a "cinch" if the international increased its appropriation for the purposes of agitation and organisation. A minimum sum would produce the maximum trouble. A single Communist recently organised 3000 negro stevedores, who obtained 100 per cent increase in wages. The success of this stroke was heralded home to Africa as the dawn of negro emancipation. White unionists refused to associate with blacks on the goldfields, therefore Moscow should use the colour line to organise the blacks, who were only awaiting leaders, and create a union of allied Socialistic Soviet republics, whos,e capital was Moscow.
