| lists.
Arthur Ransome also Socialist, Wis
tied Russia in 1910 and he has written
faithful description Of conditions as

much more trustworthy than most Of

ton Aspects" n series of intimate
sketches of men and things from the
point of view of a man who understands
the Russian people and the Russian

Charles Edward Russell. in Dol
Sheyism and the United States" has
attempted to set forth for the informa
ton of Americans the fatal defects in
the theories of Leninc and to show
bow the worst sufferers under their ap-
plication have been the very persons

formulated.
And Ole Hanson, former mayor of
Seattle, has told in "Amcricanism YER

Bolshevists during his mayoralty and
how they were unable to understand the
fundamental principles of Americanism.
AS a record of achievement in democ-
racy it deserves attention.
