Detroit has become the principal
Winter of radicalism 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 radioals, is one of the
busiest places in the city. It has a
large auditorium, which is filled day
and night by changing audiences, en
tertained 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

quarters from New Tork to Detroit.

center, followed by New Tork and
Chic apa, though all the larger cities
have burg's acd active popul atSons.
