In the closing years of the last century, when Czarist Russia was steadily extend- ing her dominions arid ber influence from the Baltic to the Pacific, it was her proud boast that "the 20th century wili be Russia'a I heard this boast, evary-] where from Petersburg to Tashkent. Bus sia was then being carried forward by a powerful Slav nationsliam "ably directed by ambitious and not over-scrupulous | Royal Soldiers' Daughters statesmen. That policy of expansion brought her, in the early years of the 20th century, into collision with Japan. a nation more concentrated, more patrio- tic, and better organised than the un- wieldy Colossus of the orth. Russia suffered an ignoble defent, which paved the way for the downfall of C'zardow and the growth of nationalist feeling among the subject races of Central Asia. **
The collapse of the Czardom in, the Great War was Eailed as the herald of, emancipation by many in England. They did not foresee that it would be succeeded: by a tyranny infinitely more ruthless and oppressive, one which would repudiate all the accepted standards of civilisation and morality and would devote its energies to the stirring up of international conflicts; and internal strife in order to subvert all established Governments, replacing them by a tyranny as bloodstained and as hlighting na its own "Dictatorship of thei Proletariat.

The Committee desires to take this op- portunity of thanking all those members and other friends of the Guild and League who, working under great dificulties, have contributed to the success of this year's effort, with the happy and unlooked for result that it has not been necessary to reduce the amount of any one of the donations usually made.

The recent seamen's strike in New Zealand. Australia, South Africa, the re volutionary rising the land. the dockers strike in Dublin, the Communist conspiracies in England and Scotland, the seditious conspiracies daily being un- masked through the law courts in British India where a Communist congress held recently at Cawnpore openly advocated a Soviet republic-in each of these we can see the hidden hand of the Moscow Inter national.
Every State in Europe has in turn been singled out for attack. Happily, civilisel Europe has been sane enough and strong enough to throw off the poison; the Locamo Trenty has shattered the last hope of Soviet Russia to keep Europe in strife by working on international jealou sies. But she retains the weapon of class warfare..
Baffled in Europe, she has radoubled her efforts in Asia. A ayapathetic Kabul paper just to hand puts the matter elearly:
England is the only enemy of Russia and Communism. In Europe Russia has
The look throws interesting sidelights on recent history for instance, how our trade agreement of 1921 with Soviet lussia was used to magnify waning Bol. shevist influence, and how the extraordi nary lenicacy shown to them in the treaty of 1921 gave the vain-glorious Afghans the oppertunity to boast that they had won the Third Afghan War and dictated the peace terms. The futility of the pan Islamic movement and of the threatened Islamic Buddhist combination against Britain is clearly exposed.

Those who desire to follow the workings of this nefarious policy throughout Asia. should read "In the Heart of "Asia" (Con- stable, 168.), by Lt. Col.
