BolsheviSt agents, according to Brit
ish military authorities, have played an
important role in fermenting trouble
in India. The economic boycott which
has been introduced in India In con-
nection with Ghandi's movement has
harmed the British more than the
riots which have occurred since April
of last year. 1t was estimated in
London that more than IS, 600 workers
have been thrown out of work as a
result of the Indian boycott BolShe-

work now in Egypt and in the middle

America seemed for a while to the
Soviet leaders an unapproachable ter
ritory on account of its great pros
perity. Since 1t became obvious, how
ever, that an economic depression was
spreading over this country, Soviet au-
thorities have begun to direct their
attention to this country, too.
Aims Are Set Forth.
A passage from confidential re-
port which has fallen into the hands
of certain agents, who keep q keen
lookout on Soviet activities, reads as
follows:

employment in the United States

Wheat Dumping Incidental.
Dumping of wheat is considered of q
minor Importance. The work of the
Soviets Is much deeper than that. It
Is true that in the last IL months the
SoyietS have purchased in the United
States manufactured products for some
like $250.000,000. This fact would at

the world markets as they can produce

This dumping policy is bound to af-

the industries in Russia are all in the
hands of the government and do not
