Arthur Ransome's first volume of
Russian sketches, Russia in 1919"
was one of the FIRST books about
revolutionary Russia which relied
more on fact than on fancy. Al
though Ransome Is kindly disposed
toward the Communists, he is not
their apologist and his object is to
report his observations rather than
to make propaganda He has been
in Russia frequently enough and
long enough since the revolution to
be immune from the extravagancies
Of one sort or another which have
characterized the REPORTS of many
observers. The book Is easy read
ing. 1t contains little that is techni-
cal or statistical and a good deal
that is picturesque. The chapters
on "A Conference at Jaroslavl,"
The Propaganda Trains" and Sat
urdayings," are excellent. The-short-
age of things. Of men and the de-
crease in production are described.
the methods employed by the Com
munists to maintain their power are
explained, and the origin and effects
of industrial conscription are set
forth. Mr.. Ransome believes that
England needs British exports and
that the establishment of COM
mercial relations between the two
countries is the most effective means
Of combating Communist tendencies
in Great Britain. Lloyd George is
said to have been influenced by Mr..
Ransome's reports in reaching his
decision to sign the trade agree

unaffected style is still another. Mr.
Chffd is reputed to have had a hand
in the preparations of some of Pres

to reveal which of the documents
contain the work of Mr.. Child. Just
how vividly Mr.. Child is able tc
write on the. league of nations ol

say, but IL his political papers are
comparable with these dramatic

are unusually good yarns.

1t is a notable fact that with all this

ten about the so-called country news

1t Is also notable fact that very few
of the readers Of those papers realize
what loss It would be to them and
TO the world II the country paper
should cease to exist.
The large papers, with immense
calculations, tell OF world happenings"

But. 1t remains for the local paper"
