JOHNSON'S

-Liquid E

PREPARED WAX Johnson's Prepared Wax is now being made in Liquid Form-it polishes instantly with but very little rubbing. You can go over a good sized car in half-an- hour. If the finish is stained, greasy or grimy, clean it first with Johnson's Cleaner-then polish with Johnson's Pre- pared Wax Liquid.

A Dust-Proof Auto Polish Johnson's Liquid Prepared Wax imparts a hard, dry, glasslike polish which does not collect or hold the dust. It preserves the varnish and protects it from the weather, adding years to its life and beauty. It covers up mars and scratches-prevents checking and cracking-sheds water- and prolongs the life of a "wash"'.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1919.

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

BOLSHEVIK DISCLOSURES.

London, Dec. 12.

The Times" makes authoritative disclosures which foreshadow the possibility of the Bolsheviste ultimately abandoning European Russia and establishing themselves in the heart of Middle Asia. They point out that the Bolshevista: hold a large part of Transcaapia and Central Asia and are about to attack Krasnovodsk on the eastern Caspian shores. Furthermore they are establishing intimate relations with Afghanistan and their emissaries at Kabul are advocating an attack on Britain through India. It is reported that hundreds of Hindus have been trained in Bolibevist propaganda at Moscow and some are already journeying to India supplied with considerable Bolshevist gold. The "Times" in a leader points out that Denitin and Koltchak are fighting the Em pire'a battle because in the event of defeat the Soviet armies could be diverted to Afghanistan with a view to attacking India. It opines that the consequences of defeat would soon be felt on the Indian frontier. Meanwhile the Bolshevists aro closely negotiating with

General the Turkish rebel Mustapha Kemal in Asia Minor. They are supplying funds to the Young Turks and inciting Georgia and the mushroom Mahomedan republic of Azerbaijan to ally themselves with the Turkish revolutionaries.

THE WORLD'S WHEAT SUPPLY.

Loudon, Dec. 11.

An Imperial Institute bulletin dealing with the world's wheat position points out that of the pre-war production of 110,000,000 tons, the largest contributor was Russia, with $2,000,000 tons. During the war the acreage outside Europe increased by twenty-five per cent. The opinion is expressed that at present there is a suficiency of wheat, even without the help of Russia, to meet the requirements of the world. The article takes an optimistic view of the future. Vast areas are awaiting development in Canada. Australia and elsewhere, while the average ricld is susceptible of great improvement.

RUSSIA'S DESIRE FOR PEACE.

Copenhagen, Dec. 11.

Litvinoff, interviewed by Reuter, declared that the only condition the Soviet Government would put forward as the basis of peace was non-interference by any foreign Power in the country's intemal administration. He added that if response was made to the offer the prescat negotiations would be greatly facilitated.

Copenhagen, Dec. 11.

An agreement has been reached at the conference between O'Grady and Litvinoff under which the Soviet Government permits the despatch of warm clothing, drugs. food and money to British prisoners in return for permission to load a ship with drugs for its own use. Arrangements have also been made to exchange letters at the frontier at stated intervals, enabling British and Russian prisoners to communicate with their homes. Meanwhile the prospect of an agreement on a whole exchange under the repatriation question is most un- promising.

a
