SYDNEY SUN CABLES.

PAN-ASIATIC' MOVEMENT. LONDON, May 19. M. Charles Petit writes to the Petit Parisien from Russia, giving his impression, after a long conversation with Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik Foreign Minister, that Bolshevism is the source not only of social revolution, but of the unrest in Asia. The secret- and friendly relations between Russia, tho Turkish Nationalists, the Persians, the Turcomans, and the Mahometans around the Caspian and Aral seas, all form a pan-Asiatic movement aaginst European, influence in general, and the British Empire in particular. Tchitehcriir's intrigues have developed as l'ar as China.. Korea, and Japan, and the aim, of Bolshevism is the conquest of the whole Far East and Egypt. Mysterious missionaries are preaching against Europe in North-East Africa, and Trotsky is heading a great secret international society, planning to overthrow European authority and to drive the British from Asia. LONDON, May 19. The Moscow wireless grows lyrical in picturing the friendliness shown to the delegation from the British Labor Party and the Trades Union Congress appointed to secure an unbiassed report on Russian conditions. It appears that the party was feted everywhere, and its visit inspired the utmost enthusiasm. Its latest investigation included a- special review of the Moscow garrison, and the message adds, "The delegation warmly .greeted t-lie gallant Red Army." Ben Turner has discovered that the Russians are wonderful lovers of Labor. Comrade Purcell favored the adoption of Russian ideals in England. Members of the Soviet frequently condemned the British policy in the presence of the visitors. PERSONAL PROPERTY IN RUSSIA. LONDON, June 1!'.
