Carta de Sen Katayama a la CEIC 1921 04 00 As to Roy, he is the man on the subject. The man you already knew yourself. But shall say here a few words about him. The following got from interviewing two Indian revolutionists whom happened to know for sometime. One is Mr. Das, and the other Mr. Roy.
Mr. Das said that he knew Roy as an Indian revolutionist, and that his party in Mexico was very uncertain. It was simply started to seek his own end, and when he left Mexico, the Party broke up entirely, because there was no one to help financially. But Mr. Das said do not know the exact reality.
What say is related by Miss Smedley. the secretary of the Indian Revolutionary organization whose central figure is Mr. Das. know Miss Smedley she is a revolutionist and a good Communist, a talented comrade and a worker for the Indian cause. She related to Mr. Das she got the information from Mr. Haberman of the Federated Press who worked with Roy in Mexico.
Mr. Roy told me that when Roy came to America two years ago he was an ultra nationalist. He was nothing but an extreme nationalist, which meant he was not a socialist or a communist. Besides he is a bold, good talker and would do any thing. He carried nine warra nts under nine different charges and names, each if caught would have meant death to him. He is now an internationalist, extreme and almost fanatical. But his aim is approved by Mr. Roy, because any one who is staking his own life is noble.
The party that Roy represents is still in existence just as Gale reports.
And Dr. Ramirez letter will make it still more clear.
As to the work here, you will find that in another report of ours.
Yours sincerely for the cause.
