PERSIA SEEKING ADVICE. A. and N.Z. DELHI. May 1L
Matters in Bokhara are daily becoming more disturbing. The President of the Bokharan Republic has gone to Tashkent- With the help of tribesmen Enver Pasha captured Dehnora and repulsed the Bolsheviks after a fierce struggle. Bokharan refugees are pouring into Afghanistan in' a state of great helplessness, giving dreadful accounts of the intornal affairs of their country.
Persian affairs also are in the melting pot once more in conisequence of tho resignation of all the Ministers, and judging from requests to America for skilled advisers Parliament has realised that the present st-u© of affj irs cannjt continue. It is considered that Rothstein, tho Bolshevik Minister at Teheran, formerly a prominent member of tho staff of the Manchester ,>uardian, was the stormy petrel last year in Persian politics, engineering Ihfi downlUl of Cabinets and taking a leading part in the repudiation of the Anglo-Persian agreement. Rothstein is violently antiBritish, and his recall to Russia has been welcomed.
