BOLSHEVIK PROPAGANDA.

TURKEY TAKES UMBRAGE. SOVIET OFFICIALS WARNED. THREAT OF EXPULSION. Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON". Dec. 2:). The Morning Post's correspondent in Russia says that in consequence of the Soviet officials using Turkey as a • base oi propaganda irt adjacent States, the -Angora Government has threatened to expel them it' they do not cease diplomatic abuses.

An example of the propaganda being used by the Soviet against countries adjacent to Turkey, but in which British interests are paramount, is given by the Riga correspondent of the Times. He says: Tho Soviet leaders continue their denunciation of Britain. In his latest address to the Moscow Soviot, M. Kameneff, a member of the administrative Triumvirate, again attacks the British Conservative Party for its attitude to the Ziuovieff letter and for refusing to ratify the AngloSoviet treaties. He discussed and condemned the British policy in f.udan, Egypt., Persia. India and elsewhere, and declared that Britain everywhere enslaved native peoples for selfish reasons. But the British bourgeoisie, he continued, was now beginning to realise that it was no longer possible to dominate India and Egypt without reckoning with the new type of Soviet State. "Our strength," says M". Kameneff, '"lies in the sincere and deep-rooted sympathy of millions of oppressed Eastern peoples for the Communist International. We have their sympathy because they regard us as the only leaders capable of carrying out their emancipation." M. Kameneff added that Mr. Chamberlain, British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, had gone to Paris to try and persuade M. Herriot, the French Prime Minister, that a Franco-Soviet treaty was impossible, but there was a chance that Mr. Chamberlain would fail.
