DELHI, 17th June.
Colonel Etherton, Consul-General in Kashgar, interviewed on his way to England, said he was satisfied with the attitude of the Chinese towards Bolshevism. Apart from force, there was little likelihood of the Soviet gaining ground in Chinese* Turkestan, for the whole of Central Asia now realised tho meaning- of Bolshevik domination. In Western Mongolia, lying within the Kashg-ar Consulate area, the Mongols were in revolt, aiming at complete separation from China and at the establishment of an independent kingdom. At present Mongolian events had^no appearance of a direct menace to India; but remembering the Mongol threat to Europe and Asia in the past, he said, it was impossible to foretell the future with any1 certainty.
