SOVIET RUSSIA
MAKES UP TO
NEAR EAST
Lenine Plays To Eastern Psy-
Chology- Exchanges
Presents

RIGA, LATVIA, June 23-Recent
arrivals from Moscow declare that
the world little realizes how closely
Soviet Russia is pushing its friend
ship with the Near East.
In Moscow now the Turkish lega
tion occupies one of the most sump-
tous fthe old palaces and the per
sonnel, garbed in faultless European
Clothes, present a strange contras; 70
the poorly garbed Muscovits. The
Afghans and toher Near Eastern de
legations also occupy luxurious
quarters. give elaborate banquets
and otherwise carry on with all The
vomp Of the old Eastern courts.
Members Of Lenine's government
are frequently guests at these affairs
end entertain the legation person
nels equally lavishly in return.
Besides this, Lenine has SO accom-
niCcated himself 70 the psychology Of
the East that he now exchanges IRE
sents with the rulers Of Turkev. Per
sin, etc, as did the rulers of ancient
davs.
A Moscow dispatch today reads like
= paragraph from what might have
been naccient tablet Of heirogly-
rhics describing the visit Of a Ra-
hv,onion envoy TO King Cyrus Of Per
sio. II say: "The representative Of
the Soviet government has made his
first Official visit to the Shah of Per
sia, presenting 10 the Shah on gold
en- salver an album with photographs
IF Soviet leaders o fthe whole Of
Russia as personal present 10 the
Shah from Lenine."
A man who recently arrived from
Moscow said: "Few persons realize
what close connection now exists
between Russia and its Cd enemy.
Turkey. and for that matter all Of
the Near East. Ienine is accom-
nlishing here what the old Russian
government could not do by playing
up 10 Eastern psychology.
"The so-called BolsheviSm in these
Eastern countries Is nothing at all
like the Bolshevism of Moscow but
in each case the Russian agitators
have distinct brand of propaganda
designed to dovetail with ancient
customs Of the country in question.
For instance. IN regions where the
trade in bazaars is a century, old
custom. no agitation against free
trade has been made"
