The Special Correspondent of the "Morning Post," who recently returned to London from the Caucasus, write:
The disquieting news from Per-sig which has been received from Moscow, and which has been confirmed from another source, will come as no surprise to anyone acquainted with the nature of Bolshevist activities in the Middle East. Slowly but surely the Bolsheviks have worked their way down from Moscow to the Caspian Sea, and during the last two months we have seen them become masters of the Sea and cross it into Persia.
In this task the Bolsheviks were the mercy of our enemies, who surround it.
The next moves of the Bolshevist programme are well-defined. The "'Bolshevization" of Persia is to be followed by a junction with Afghanistan. The "revolutionary Mohammedan East," to use a phrase popular with Bolshevist propagandists and their friends, will then concentrate upon drivin; the British out of India, Ample bribes will be expended to buy over valuable allies.
