\ sary of the Soviet regime on the 7th November. Ihe local officials called in
the morning; and in the afternoon a reception was held at which there were
present some 300 people, mostly of the middle class. 1 ic Consu s speech,
xvhich was translated into Persian by his Mirza, consisted of the usual diatribe
\ against capitalism, and the glorification of Bolshevism.
The Russian Consul is amply supplied with funds and is very active in
his propaganda. He distributes ‘Rusta’ (Russian news in Persian), has
founded a°school and has the newspaper ‘ Adah ’ at Ins disposal. He has made
great strides with the working classes, who are ripe for Bolshevik propaganda;

propaganda, unless combated with the same weapons, will shortly produce
serious results.
