ABSTRACT

T o turn to Russia: on M ay 3, 1923, a strong British note, protesting against Russian propaganda in Afghanistan and among the frontier tribes, concluded with a demand for the recall of the Russian Minister Raskolnik, who was transferred to another post. T o sum up: in the spring of 1924 the general situation showed distinct improvement in the British position in Asia, more especially owing to the abolition o f the Caliphate,

which dumbfounded the leaders of the Khilafat move­ ment in India.
