Maurice Hindus
Toronto Daily Star, 31 March 1931
Maurice Hindus (1891-1969) was born in Belarus and moved to New York in 1905. He worked as an agricultural labourer and then earned a degree in literature in 1915.
Humanity Uprooted was one of a series of books based on trips to Russia on behalf of Century Magazine. Some critics say that this book was overly sympathetic to or naive about Soviet Russia; presumably, this means that the gulags were never mentioned.
If you're curious, Humanity Uprooted is available for download at the Internet Archive.
