Our fourth series, World War (W.W.), arranged chronologically, contains correspondence, reports, and newspaper clippings dealing
with many facets of United States participation in World War 1.
Numerous letters are from relatives, friends, and acquaintances,
requesting Brandeis's help in obtaining a military commission or
a home front occupation. There are reports defining the problems
of transportation, labor, taxation, and agriculture relative to
the war effort; a daily digest of news items pertaining to the
war effort as found in trade, labor and general papers; and
correspondence and reports on the political and military
situation in Russia. Of special interest is a translation of an
article from Pravda dated April 28, 1918, of a piece by N. Lenin
entitled "The Urgent Problems of the Soviet Rule." |
