This arrogance will sabotage the successful election of the Democratic (city) ticket next November and drive God-fearing Democrats | lout of the Democratic party.” Davis had added to Tammany's dilemma by publicly re-asserting his adherence to Communism and in joining the general demand | within the Communist Political association that its. membership re-! sume the class war. To last Sunday's Daily Worker, Davis contributed a long article which the New York Times inter-| preted as meaning that the then Democratic candidate for city coun- | cil was reviving a former Commu-| nist plan to set up a Negro Soviet Republic among some of the southern United States. Called for “Black Belt” Davis’ article was a repudiation of his previous abandonment of | “the right of self-determination for the black belt.” The Times interpreted this statement of Davis’ position as indors- | ing a pre-1944 Communist doctrine as stated in some of the party's) literature. It called for establish-.| ment of a “black belt” running in| a semi-circle from Virginia to! Texas. Within this area “artificial”! state lines could be abolished to make way for a Negro Soviet. “In this territory,” one party! | statement was quoted, “we demand | that the Negroes be given the com- | | plete right of self-determination, | the right to set up their own gov- | ernment in this territory and the | right to separate, if they wish, from | | the United States.”
