The arrival in Washington of an
envoy from Afghanistan, now per
haps the most mysterious country in
the world, seeking the recognition oi
his home land and the establishment
of diplomatic relations with the Unit
ed States, seems tp indicate that the
policy of absolute isolation from the
rest of the world long followed by
this Moslem kingdom Is to be modi
fied. Light on conditions in this lit
tle-known region, is thrown by the fol
lowing communication to the Nation
al Geographic Society from Frederick
Simpich and Haji Mirza Hussein;
“The buffer State of Afghanistan,
historic shock-absorber between Great
Britain and Russia in middle Asia,
years ago put up a ’Keep Okt’ sign,
‘This Means Yoi^ warning, to Till
white men and Christians. The land
Is ’posted’—to use a poacher’s phrase
—posted against trade and conces
slon hunters, against missionaries,
and against all military and political
hunters In particular. '
“Keep Out" Signs Up.
“And the ‘Keep Out’ sign Is still
up. Today the foreigner is no more
welcome in Afghanistan than he was
a hundred years ago. Forbidden
Lhasa itself is no more exclusive
than brooding, suspicious Kabul, the
capital of this isolate, unfriendly
realm ob fanatic* tribes of rocks, de
serts, Irrigated valleys, and towering
unsurveyed ranges.
“For reasons of foreign policy, the
Amir has long felt the necessity of
secluding his little known land to the
greatest possible extent from the out
side world. Only a tew Europeans
mostly British, but occasionally ais«
an American-and, now- and then a- few
Russians or Germane, have had py-
to come he will be an. active force In
the political destinies of middle Asia.
Like Menelik of Abyssinia, Queen Lil
of the Hawaiian Islands, or the last
of the Fiji kings, this Amir, remote
and obscure as hts kingdom is, stands
out in his time as a picturesque world
figure.
Wives Distributed as Gifts.
“From the Persians the Afghans go;
the idea of marrying more than one
wife; but, like the Persians, too. they
have found, to their dismay, that
polygamy is nowadays more expensiv
than exciting.
“Sometimes, when the Amir wants
to favor his faithful officials with
presents, or perhaps to play practical
jokes in certain cases, he distributes
women among them; but these ‘g.ft
often prove so troublesome that no
great degree of gratitude is apparent
among the recipients.
“Amir Habibullah Khan (who was
assassinated in 1919) had a harem of
over one hundred women, and amoug
theae, strangely enough, were i few
Europeans. The present Amir, Amu-
nullah Khan, has but one wife.
The women of Afghanistan are
kept in more .rigid seclusion and are
more closely veiled than the wome\
of any other Moslem land.
Like the Arab, the Afghan consid
ers it unnecessary and oven unwise
that women should learn to read or
write. No girls are admitted to the
buzurr schools and no mullahs are
employed to teach them, and Afghan
istan knows nothing of women teach
ers.
Independence Brings Changes.
“The trade of Aghanistan is moved
entirely by caravans and is largely
in the hands of Hindus and Tadjiks.
There is not a mile of railroad in the
kingdom, the Amir fearing that steel
highways would made Isolation ini-
possible.
“Apart from rugs, a fe>v xylojr phs,
some crude adornments’ for * omen,
a little silk and felt, and a few sim
ple woven tissues, no products of ra-
tiveffskilled labor are on the market,
And even much of what »s pi jduced
in these few lines is merely an imita
tion of Western and Eastern art.
Small industires supply only th? most
urgent needs of the lower class?*
The rich people buy their luxuries
from abroad, and the poor make shab
by .shift with the cheaper fabrics.
“The Amir keeps at Peshawar a
political agent, who occasionally pays
a visit to the Viceroy of India; and
since Afghanistan’s formal independ
ence of 1919, envoys have been sent
to Persia and one is perhups now in
Soviet Russia."
"The married man that was spoon
ing with another’s wife the other
evening had better come in and pay
us that five or else ," says the
Thomasville Times-Enterprise. May
we consider this a threat of a bluff?
