by writing Pigs Is Pigs" for the

and attractive that after millions
had read it in the English papers,
the British government made ar
engagements with our London repre-
sentative to reprint and, at its own
expense, distributed 100000 pamphlets
in England. 1t was also widely used
in other countries"
These literary boys were extremely
useful to the Creel Committee, but
in the front line trenches Of the pub
licity drive were more important peo-
pie like Arthur Billiard, who consid-
cred himself a Socialist and, quite
likely, a member in good standing in
the Socialist Party. Billiard, the
author of "Comrade Yetta," did his
major service for the Committee in
Russia, where he and Edgar G.. Sis
son-of the forged document fame
were trying to persuade the Russian
masses to remain in the imperialist
war.
Charles Edward Russell, Socialist
pubhcist, was in and around the
Committee, and John Spargo, most
active Of the S. P jingoists, helped a
bit, too.
Sisson had been editor of Hearst's
Cosmopolitan and his long years
Of work in the Hearst service equipped
him admirably for his job in the
Creel propaganda factory.
In 1919 Sisson brought forward his
infamous forged documents proving"
that the leaders of the BolsheviS
Party were in the pay of the Impe-
rial German Government. 1t was
John Reed, whose "Ten Days That
Shock the World" was hailed by
Lenin as a masterpiece, who first ex-
ncsed Sisson in a scorching pamph-
let.
