The Bolsheviks Can
Easily Reach S. Ameri-
caOWing to Lax Laws

The Hague. Nov. 16.-(By Associated
Press) .-Absence. in peace times, of
any strict control of immigration in
most South American countries. makes
it particularly easy. The Associated
Press correspondent was told By a
member of the Brazilian diplomatic
service, for Bolshevik couriers, sent
out by Moscow to reach South Amer
lea.
Recent Investigations by the corre-
spondent in several countries of Cen
trail Europe have indicated that con-
tinuous effort is being made. through
use of a courier and propaganda sys-
tenn that includes perhaps $500 Mos
cow-paid workers. to spread the doc
trine of Bolshevism throughout the
world
In this effort, South and Central
America are considered by the Boil
sheviki not only as excellent fields for
local missionary work" along the
lines of strikes and political unrest,
but also as advanced field bases for
promoting BolsKeviSm in North Amer
lea, where stricter immigration laws
prevail.
! At Lisbon and the Spanish ports, the
Moscow government has established
courier bureaus. particularly designed
to handle agitators and propaganda en-
route to Brazil, Argentine, Chile. etc,
and one of the four sub-bureaus direct
ing the entire world force of agitators
is understood to be lcated either in
Mexico or in one of the South Amer
lean countries.
so far as Brazil is concerned" n
Brazilian diplomatist said. "the ma
tional constitution seems to prevent
any serious efforts on this side of the
Atlantic to weed out undesirable i'm
migrants. In peace times. the country
is free for every one. and we need i'm
migrants. for our population is small
compared with our huge area. Unde-
sirables. such as Bolshevik agitators.
should be handled and Jailed on ar
rival"
While South American officials in
Europe are quite familiar with the
fact that the Soviet government is
making a determined effort to spread
it's doctrines TO South America. the
view was expressed by one of them
that Bolshevism cannot thrive in agri-
cultural countries, where private own
ership of land is essential.

he did not stop or look or listen when
he was approaching this crossing Had
he done SO he might easily have seen
this train and stopped his horse before
coming to the crossing. because at the
time his team was seen by Brakeman
Martin, the horse was walking and was
at that time far enough from the
crossing so that he might easily have
been stopped by the driver. The TN
fortunate victim of this accident came
to his death by reason of his failure
to observe the ordinary and proper
precautions when he was approaching
this place Of danger. although appar-
emily the accident might have been
avoided had Brakeman Martin warned
the engineer at the time he first saw
the team.
