Newspaper dispatches about the Soviet Union have never been more preposterous and misleading. Soviet communist leader Vladimir Lenin is about to take a vacation in Scotland, people read in newspapers; and before one has finished chuckling at the nonsense news, one finds a long dispatch from Washington, some solemn-faced official of the State Department interpreting the news with all the free fancy dictated by his credulous and ineffable ignorance. The Helsingfors, Riga, and Budapest correspondents outrival each other in their graphic descriptions of the hungry hordes marching on Moscow; and the Philadelphia Public Ledger pictures the starving Soviet people from the lower stretches of the Volga as massing on the Polish frontier.
