LONDON, Sept. 20.-The British Gov
ernment has despatched a strongly
worded note to Moscow calling the at
tention of the Soviet Government to
alleged serious breaches of faith in
volved In the pursuance by the Rus
slams throughout central Asia and
Afghanistan Of a campaign of In
trigues hostile toward Great Britain.
An explanation is demanded and the
British Foreign Secretary asks for
definite assurance that these activities,
constituting breaches of the trade
agreement, shall cease.
The note, which was written by Lord
Curxon. details fully the alleged hostile
acts complained OF, most of which were
In Afghanistan. 1t was delivered to
the Moscow Government two days ago.
II details a number of fragrant viola
tions" of Russia's undertaking under the
trade agreement (signed by Krassine)
with Great Britain to cease anti British
propaganda. and particularly enumerates
the activities of the Third Internationale
of Moscow in India and Afghanistan,
quoting in substantiation thereof a state
ment by NJ. Stain, president OF the
Eastern section OF the Third Inter-
rationale, urging the Eastern Secretariat
TO devote itself to undermining the ex-
ternaI power Of England and France.
1t Is declared in the note that the
British Government has evidence OF con-
tinued intrigue with Indian revolution
aries In Europe, some OF whom were IN
yited to Moscow last June to discuss
the best means OF bringing about a
revolution in India, and also refers to
the activities OF Rothstein. the Russian
representative at Teheran. who Is de-
clared to be importing large sums and
known TO be subsidizing Persian news
papers to carry on an anti-Britfsh
campaign. 1t complains that the Soviets
are supporting the Turkish Nationalists.
The gravest charge pertains to the
Russo- Afghan treaty and NJ. Tchitcher-
ms insistence upon clause In TINS
treaty providing for the opening OF con-
sulates in Eastern Afghansstan.
Lord Curzon says the Government pos
sesses indisputable evidence that these
consulates are regarded by the Soviet
Government as prospective centres OF
propaganda and has evidence also OF
the activities OF Jamal Pasha, sent to
Atghan1BIhn ny tht s'oNtNe ~ -
hostile tribesmen with funds. arms ana
ammunition.
The note accuses the Soviet OF trying
to induce the Indian anarchist Hanz'
who has been studying the manufacture
of bombs in Vienna. TO proceed 10
Afehanistan and supervise a bomb
depot on the borders of India IN order
to facilitate the Importation of bombs
Into India.
II declares that the Soviet used every
persuasi sion to prevent the Angora Gov
ernment from arriving at a peaceful
solution with the Entente Powers and
assembled considerable forces on the
borders of Anatolla, suggesting that
they should be sent into Anatolia Tor
the support of the Kemalists.
An Afghan mission. which had been
in London for some weeks endeavoring
10 install an official Afghan envoy here
to enter into direct political relations
with the British Government, has left
in n dudgeon for Paris with its mission
unfulhlled.
The attempts of the Afghans met with
failure because OF the insistence of Lord
Curzon. the British Foreign Secretary.
that relations with Afghanistan should
be conducted only as in the past through
the India Office, and that the question
OF an envoy depended upon the conclu-
sion OF treaty now being negotiated at
Kabul. The mission persistently refused
20 enter into any relations with the
India Office.
