THf, REAL RU SSl.A.

The following is from a statem mt by Mr. Sack who is American cor respondent for the Minister of Fin ance in Russia and also head of u e Bureau of Russian Information. It IS therefore qiute authoritative and throws strong light on a real dark spot. thanks to the efficiency of the capitalist news agencies which have carefully concealed the real facts from the American public:
 Ut is interesting to compare the news from Russia, as given by the American press, with the contents of Russian papers which l receive now almost every other day. l saw in the New York World cartoon which probably enlighiens the situa- ton. It shows German crowd watching the kaiser, who writes down on wall for them news from the United States. l should say tha. the kaiser, as far as his put licitv work is concerned, has a very easy job.
 Tt is sometimes the easiest thing in the world to pick out the most sensational news. l would also say. without any desire to of rend American journalists, that the publicity work of the kaiser N events in the United States reminds me of publicity work of American Journalists on the great events in Russia.

 Not long ago, when Secretary of War Kerenski made speech in Moscow, addressing a large meeting of officers and soldiers telling them about their duty to defend the coun- try and to start an offensive, he fainted in the middle of his speech. One of his assistants explained then that Kerenski had not slept for a week, working day and night on the reconstruction of the Russian YYilitarv forces. I would say that Herenski, in that respect, as ill many other respects, is a symbol Of Russia at the present moment
 Russia is working day and night building up organizations which will make it possible for the proVl- sional government to arrange all in ternal affairs. solve transportation and food problems, and regenerate the power of the Russian army. The Russian papers are full of reports 0f conferences and congresses ah over Russia. The workingmen, the railroad men, the soldiers, the peas ants. the teachers, the nationalitics, all these elements are growing in organization every day.
 This constructive work of the Russian revolution, work full of enthusiasm and of immense signi- fcance, not only for Russia, but for the whole world is entirely un- reflected in the cables received here by the American press.
 "The main fact in the Russian political situation at the present moment is that Socialists are now in almost full control in Russia The Socialist leaders in Russia are responsible leaders and great statesmen. They express frankly the desire of the Russian democracy 70 shorten the war as much as
