.UNREST IN THE EAST. LENIN'S PROPAGANDA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Feb. lfl. The Delhi correspondent of the Times confirms the Moscow wireless reference the modification of the Soviet plans. He learns on excellent authority that Lenin and Chicherin have agreed that internal disorganisation makes further ; mmediate military efforts dangerous. They are therefore launching intense propaganda in other countries with the object of affecting the armies and population.*. Their eastern programme includes tlio disaffecting of Persia, Afghanistan, In>lia, and China, thus preparing tiie ground for an attack when Russian reconstruction is completed eighteen months hence. The Soviet Government is sending arras and ammunition to Afghanistan and is encouraging the Amir to attack India, expecting that the inevitable defeat and deposition of the Amir will produco anarehial conditions, paving the way for an Afghan Soviet Republic which they can use a? a jump, ing-off place to propagandise and ultimately convert the whole of India to Bolshevism.—Times.
