RUSSIA’S MASTERY.
"TREACHERY AND HORROR.” LONDON, Jan. 7. Mr Eugene Lyons, a well-known American-journalist, went to Russia in 1928 as an avowed Communist. He returned to the United States in 1934 as “a cruelly disillusioned man.” “I had the sense of leaving behind me a nation trapped,” he writes in his book, “Assignment in Utopia,” published to-day. Mr Lyons says that he can only guess the motives for the recent wholesale executions in Russia. “The whole tragic process is shrouded in mystery,” he declares. “The only certainty is that, on the eve of the 20th birthday of the Bolshevik State, treachery, horror, and violent death were a daily occurrence.”
