Summary:
On July 1927 the steamship President Roosevelt left the ports of New York for England. Aboard the ship were Professor R.G Tugwell, Brebner, Stuart Chase, Schlink, and others. Meeting up with another man in England, Paul Douglass, the men were on their way to the Soviet Union. Once they arrived there they met Stalin, who wanted to negotiated terms with them, asking for aid to help the dire state that the soviet economy was in. The men saw the various projects that the Soviets were building and received tours of the "Bolshevik paradise". Eventually they met Stalin and conversed about the ethnic diversity of this country and communism. After coming back from the Soviet union the labor advocates raced each others to write volumes about the trip which provided a unique experience for them and provided a unique insight about communism and Stalin. A couple of years later in 1929, Stalin started a reign of terror and set up concentration camps later known as Gulag, where Russian workers were sent.
