THE BOLSHEVIK MENACE

PROPAGANDA IN THE EASS I- I i SPECIALLY DIRECTED TO INDIA. HATRED OF ENGLAND. (The Times.) Reoelved February 7, 8.50 a.m. . LONDON, February 5. Commissiary Eliawa reported to the ' * Bremen Bolshevik Conference on propaganda in Asia, and particularly India. Hatred of England permeates the report. The English soldiers at Baku are d_e-; scribed as impudent mercenaries. Ho looks to the hour when Bolshevism will dispose of them. There will, he - says, be millions of Asiatic fellow, combatants. John Bull already shows that his teeth are powerless in a tight bridle. We will overthrow him in India. It is expected that the Mahomedans Turkestan will adopt socialism, and U Is believed with an outward appearance of adoption they would play the part of a bridge to India. Our network of agitation will gradually spread. To-day " it stretches to Afghanistan, thence to North India. JC^lj At the Samarkand Congress in Feb*;:.' ruary, 1920, the report continues, there, were delegates not only from Afghanis- ••;; tan, Pamirs and Malaya, but from inner--': India and Ceylon. As a result of thlß jj| conference we established active liaison with the whole of India and Southern, i Persia, facilitating direct intervourse'; Jj with Turkey, Arabia and Egypt. The -7 congress served as a foundation for .a.-.;■■ league of Eastern liberation controlling. - : Turkestan, and is sending emissaries to Mongolia, Mahomedan China and the Punjab. - - ~ g In Samarakand we have the best school for training propagandists, turning out in the last nine months of the year 3500 Instructors, including 930 Hindus, 460 Tajiks, 1300 Sarts and Afghans. Chief attention is paid to the Indian races. Only full converts are sent to India. The most valuable classes at Delhi fmd Benares are working' splendidly undeu the eyes of Englishmen. Delhi founded six or seven schools last year, and by November there were 1900 active subscribing members and £ 2,000 had been col* lfccted. Thi> regular monthly subscriptions amounted tc £15,000.
