(United Rress Association.—Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable' Assn.) . DELHI,' Bth July.
Convincing evidence of the reality of the Bolshevik menace in India is furnished by Colonel Macan Saunder's, Director of Military Intelligence in India. Ho states that in Afghanistan the Soviet has given subsidies of arms and ammunition, Russian engineers are constructing rail and telephone linos and roads, and the. Afghan air force has Russian pilots and mechanics. The main aerodrome is at Kabul, from which the frontier station can be bombed. Kabul is now an important propaganda centre for the Soviet's work in India. The Afghan Government sees the danger of Soviet penetration and of being forced into war with Britain at the dictation of its Soviet friends. He also states that penetration is going on along the borders of Burma. The movement generally is a serious menace to the peace of the British possessions in the East. If the Soviet policy continues, he fears there will be a war during the present generation.
