It is merely an excellently photographed and skillfully edited portrayal of the pioneer camps, the new cities, the struggle with the neglected soil turned desert, the new industries, and the new emotional and artistic outlets. But it is almost inevitable that the reader sublimate all this in his own thinking to something idealistic...
...anxiety to disclose the organization of modern gangs, Train has sadly neglected his plot and in several places has carelessly forewarned the reader of what will happen twenty pages ahead.

The marriage law of 1927 was thus argued over for a year before adoption; the 'liquidation of the kulaks" for more than two. To the reader's astonished question: Is Stalin, then, not a dictator? the Webbs return a firm No. "The Government of the U.S.S.R. during the past decade has been clearly no better than that of a committee. Our inference is that it has been, in fact, the very opposite of a dictatorship...
