Where is John Reed questioned in Washington DC
Washington February 22 John Reed ally of Lenin and Trotzky and indicted in Chicago for alleged overthrow of the US government arrived in Soviet Russia via Finland last December. Since the indictment federal and state agents have hunted Reed nationwide. The State Department seeks the passport channel and learns Reed sailed from an American port to Norway and traveled to Stockholm on foot ready to board a Helsingfors bound ship. He reached Moscow disguising as a Russian peasant and attended international meetings giving a speech at the all Russian Soviet convention. Reed lived in Moscow at the Kinemy lin guest of the people's commissariats and communicated with Lenin and Trotzky, visiting the Red army front, remaining until mid January. The department notes Reed’s reception in Russia was warmer due to Trotzky’s earlier appointment of his Bolshevik consul general in New York. Reed claimed that office but the appeal, as it turned out, aimed to aid his return to the United States.
