PERSIA Is CALLED
LAND OF ANARCHY
Shuster Sees Only Dismemberment
as Result of Russian and
British Contention.

Vienna, Jan. 2O.-Blaming Great Britain
for the chaotic state of affairs in Persia
and predicting that in the end England
will taste the bitter fruits Of her policy,
w. Morgan Shuster. the deposed treas
urer general has arrived here en- route
home to America.
Mr.. Shuster said that Russia and Great
Britain, instead of being on a more solid
basis of friendship as a result of the Per-
sian upheavaL are face TO face on oppo-
site sides of disorganized territory
Great Britain, judging from the pres
ent trend of events, will soon be con-
fronted with a serious Russo-Indian prob
lem he said. THE Russians are ad-
vancing their interests southwark at a
steady pace. slowly but surely coming to
a realization Of their century-old dream
of a warm water port 1t will be but a
matter of a few years before Russia will
have this port, and then Great Britain
will regret her present policy.
''The dismembeTment of Persia might
have been entirely averted II Great Brit
ain had objected at the outset to Rus
sia's violations Of the Anglo-Russian
pact"
Mr. Shuster described Persia as a land
Of "chsos and anarchy, where before the
action of Great Britain and Russia Il
was making substantial progress toward
peace and order and a genuine constitu-
tional government"
