I would be impossible to explain to them that their pro- sperity is closely bound up with the peace and progress of the Far East, or that an orderly Russia. from which German intrigue was excluded, would be far more to their advantage in the long run than a further rise of wages. I trust, therefore, that

YOUT warning article of yesterday will receive the attention it

deserves.

The Bolshevists, wherever they go. create anarchy, and their presence in Central Asia, com- bined with the advance of the Red aries in Siberia and Southern Russia, is a most serious menace to the peace of rast Eastern territories. I believe the view that their forces would not be tolerated in Afghanistan is probably correct. The Afghan tribesmen, whose main object, as you point out, is loot, would be likely to turn against any foreign force which entered their country: but Kabul is a convenient centre for Bolshevist intrigue, and the North-West Frontier of India) provides the best inlets for emissaries intended to spread the German doctrines of Marx among the Indian peoples. In Eastern countries the propaganda takes a very simple form. and the Indian rrot can be told that it is his right to take by force any-. thing he may fancy, and that rents | or Government assessments can be ended if he wills. The second part of the programme differs little from that which is already being expounded by the agent of the extremists in the villages off the Punjab: but the root principle of the Bolshevist creed-the acquisition of all the property of the bourgeois classes and their complete subjection to proletarian rule will not suit the Indian politicians. Mr. Bepin Chandra Pal, who is an expert in-foment- ing unrest, doubtless regards Bolshevism,

for adapted Indian consumption, only as an aid to the anti-British movement which he inspires. There is how- ever, & considerable part of the population in Bengal and else where which believes its interests to be endangered by the recent Act, and which, if inoculated with the Bolshevist virus, might not distinguish between the intell-

igentsia and the hated bourgeoisie. In their own interests, the mem-
