ing to Pavlovitch, Soviet chief of Orien-
tai propaganda. in an interview printed
in the Bolshevist press. He says the
way to India is wide open to Soviet in

According to Pavlovitch. the fault Is
entirely with Great Britain. which. he
charges by letting the Greeks loose in
Anatolia, forced Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
Turkish Nationalist leader, to strengthen
the morale of his troops by declaration
that the Soviets were the real protectors
Of humanity, as against British domina-
ton.
The result. he says. is that Afghanis-
tan is turbulently Communist, with
Bokhara having established its Soviet

the Reds, while the whole of Persia Will
inevitably fall under the political and
perhaps the economic control of the Rus

FRENCH SOCIALISTS
SWINGING TO REDS

Tours, France, Dec 25.--What was
termed the strong increase In the revo-
lutionary temper of the French people
and preliminary indications that the
French Socialists favor affiliation with
the Third (Moscow) lnternationale
by three to one were the outstanding
features of reports read at the first
session Of the French Socialist Party
Congress here to-day. significant
phase of the reports was the statement
that the Socialist and revolutionary
spirit has gained great strength in the
agricultural districts of France.
The Congress opened this morning
with $50 delegates representing 10000
members of the party. 1t was decided
to take up Immediately the question
of joining the Moscow Internationale,
h 'although this question was last on the
programme. The delegates will vote
by mandate, having received their in
structions from their constituents.
Opposition to the parliamentary group,
which is composed of sixty Socialist
members of the Chamber of Deputies,
continues to grow, and it appears certain
that the party will be split when final
action on the motion to accept uncondi-
tionally adhesion to the Third Interna-
tionale comes up.
The delegates attribute the increase
in the revolutionary spirit to the gen.
eral disturbed conditions, worldwide
unrest and discomfort with things as

The newspapers to-day publish petition

Federation of Labor urging the Govern
ment to cooperate with the Commission

based on education and ultimate trans
formation "of the wine industry, brew
cries and distilleries into great factors
of public welfare" The federation rep
resents 100000 workers. 1t is said.
The petition vigorously assails alco-
holism and declares that the executiv e
labor board recently was INSTRUCTED to
initiate a campaign against il through

holic teaching in the schools and colleges
as a solution of the problem.
