GRAVE POSITION.
Troops and Police Stand By In Egypt. DEADLOCK IN POLITICS. (Received 2.30 p.m.) CAIRO, January 24. Tlie political position is grave. Troops and police liave been ordered to stand by and provincial Governors are remaining at their posts. A complete party deadlock prevails. The Wafd proposes a Wafd Cabinet, a Royal Commission, including the minority party, to negotiate with Britain, and the provision of seats in the new Parliament for minority interests. Naha's Pasha urges that a neutral Cabinet should conduct the elections. The United Front leaders, Mahmoud Pasha and Sidky Pasha, have decided that the Wafd proposals are unacceptable. They favour the formation of a coalition under Nahas Pasha to negotiate with Britain and submit the result to the electorate before the elections. Nalias Pasha, in an interview, said: "King Fuad remains master of the country."
