Excerpt from Facts and Fabrications About Soviet Russia This is a guide-book for searchers after truth in a wilderness of intellectual confusion. It might be called a field key to American information about Soviet Russia. It is designed to enable the reader to identify a fabrication at sight, to make a fair guess at what is a fact and to know just where the truth may be found in the morass of conflicting propaganda. The method used is simple. I have attempted to describe in brief review the most obvious falsehoods about Russia that have passed current in the United States since the October Revolution that swung the Bolshevist group into power, those falsehoods which need no further refutation than subsequent events or the belated denials of their perpetrators. I have also tried to show the source of these fabrications and where they may be expected to appear in the future. On the other hand, I have listed, with brief comments thereon, all the published material on Soviet Russia available in America which can be relied upon the present the facts with a reasonable degree of accuracy. This list includes books, pamphlets, and magazine articles. It has seemed unwise to attempt any survey of newspaper articles. I have, however, listed those daily papers which have shown a capacity to print reliable accounts of Russian conditions under the new regime.
