Minister for foreign affairs has announced that the Polish-Roumanian agree
ment is directed against Russia. In accordance with the Minister’s words
the agreement contradicts the interests of the Chekhoslavakia and Jugoslavia
who are in friendly relationship with Soviet Russia.
2. Lloyd George has made a big speech in regard to the question of the
situation in Germany. The head of the English Government acknowledged the
difficult position of Germany who has lost her coal basin (Ruhr), Alsace
Lorraine, and all her Colonies. However, he insists on the fulfilment by
Germany of all the conditions accepted at the Paris Conference.
3. The German Independent Socialists demand that the German Govern
ment should not carry on secret diplomacy. The Independents have acknow
ledged that the fulfilment of the demands* of the Paris Conference will make
beggars of the German proletariat.
4. Risings have taken place in Borchalinsk province in Georgia. The
military units have joined the insurgents.
5. The Soviet Mission sent to Persia have arrived in Tehran. The Mission
was received in very friendly fashion. Eliawa is head of the Mission.
6. The following article appeared in an Anglo-Indian newspaper in regard
to the position of the Indians in the East. “ Mesopotamia was occupied
practically by Indian troops. In view of this the inhabitants look upon the
Indians as their enemies, who have taken away their independence. In time
the British Government will succeed in weakening the national feeling of the
Arabs and will find any number of soldiers from among them.
Then it will be the Arab’s turn. They will be used to support peace and
the Government in India. They will not have an atom of feeling for the
Indians and as a result the British will win.
A new mighty power will be established in the South of Central Asia,
which will be directed by the English with the assistance of soldiers and
authorities from amongst the "oppressed nations of the East. The English
have already reckoned with this possibility and have taken several strides in
this direction. The people of the East must awake, otherwise they will find
themselves in a few years, in a stronger grip of the English than! they are at
present.

Extract from the “ Turkomanistan, ” dated 15th February 1921.
The following was published by the above paper as having been “ contri
buted by a lady —
Muslim ladies ! Lip to the present it has been a universal rule through
out the world that one nation has wished to- conquer the other, or one party to
overthrow the other. Women of all races and creeds have been! kept in sub
jugation by their husbands and deprived of the rights men themselves enjoy.
These conditions have been at their worst in Islam. If we look into the daily
life of Eastern women we cannot help weeping at their miserable plight. In
the East the majority of women are accounted the maidservants of their
husbands, while even among civilised nations woman is not in full enjoyment
of all her rights.
In civilised countries the government take a keener interest in questions
relating to women, despite which they are not even yet in the full enjoyment
of their birthright.
The great Soviet Republic has granted equal and complete rights to women.
It is also trying to liberate the labourer from the remorseless grip of the
capitalists. It is evident to all that complete freedom is impossible of attain
ment as long as obsolete forms of government exist in the world. There is
only one way to overthrow this structure of hated government and that is by
education. In order to set out on the highroad of Socialism and the welfare
of mankind it is incumbent on the women of the East to educate their children
and to infuse them with the spirit of Communism. On this road there are
sacrifices to hi made and obstacles to be overcome.
Sisters ! If you will not educate your children and will not give them a
thorough training you will never rid yourselves of the tyrannies you are now
