BOLSHEVIK PROPAGANDA WORK,

KEENLY RESENTED.

(Received May 1, 8.55 a.m.)-^ TEHERAN, April 29. After a period of inactivity, the Russian Legation recently resumed Bolshevik propagandist work, with a view to upsetting the Cabinet, particularly the Y/ar Minister, Sardarsepah, who is regarded as Persia's strong man. Hitherto the people suffered patiently under a flood of Bolshevik revolutionary propaganda, although the doctrines are foreign to their national religious institutions, but now, in the face of these agents fomenting internal and political dissensions, and even religious animosities between the creeds, tolerance is changing to exasperation and annoyance, and there is a strong feeling against further Bolsheviic interference in local politics.
