BASE AGAINST BRITAIN. ATTITUDE OF AFGHANISTAN. LONDON, January 6. Sir Percivai Phillips (special correspondent of the "Daily Mail,") in tan article from Peshawar, recalls that when M. Borodin, the Russian adviser to the Cantonese Reds, felt China, he said that the Soviet's next anti-British move would be against India. Moscow, he s~ys, is now concentrating upon Central India, a new Soviet State bordering upon Afghanistan affording an excellent base. It cannot be stated how fa:- the Afghans will allow Russia to* use them. With Russia and India closely watching, the Amir, Amanullah Khan, is attempting a middle course. He is friendly to Britain, but his Government's strong anti-British influences handicap him.
