Kurther tight has been thrown upon the position or tne Bolsneviks who reside in Dhangha. At has ai. along been difficult to state with any certainty who actually were and who were not Bowneviks, as some were evidently no more than social-democratics who are a more moderate type, as far as can be seen. Sut that there are Bolsheviks who are working hard locally is undoubted, although in exactly what direction their activities are taking is impossible to say. Une suggestion is that while they are unprepared to bring about any local manifestation, they are using Shanghai as a centre of intrigue for more distant places.
1t is understood that recently an authorized Bolshevik emissary tron: Siberia arrived in Shanghai, ana he is believed to have made the statement that the local Bolsheviks were merely free lances. Although unconnected with the principal movement in Russia, they were working independently for the achievement of the same end in other countries. No statement of the emissary's particular mission to China has been given, although it is believed that he had no intention of starting any propaganda.
This does not mean that no propaganda is going on in China or that it will not be started, for Bolshevism. being what it is, must be international. Unless the armies and navies of the world can be eliminated, the doctrine fails of its ideal. In the circumstances propaganda here and in the surrounding countries is a necessity of the case, but we understand that as far as China is concerned the principal danger is to be apprehended from peaceful penetration through the Siberian frontier.
