EGYPTIAN TREATY CONVERSATIONS
EMPHASIS ON BRITISH GOODWILL
(BBITISH OJHCIAL WIMLIBS.) RUGBY, February 14. With the exchange of notes between AH Maher Pasha and the British High Commissioner (Sir Miles Lampson), the way is prepared for the opening of the AngloEgyptian conversations. In Sir Miles Lampson's reply to the Egyptian note he says: "The British Government is confident that both sides will do their utmost to ensure that the exercise of freedom of discussion and action in the conduct of the negotiations shall not affect the cordial relations between the two countries. "The British Government," it is added, "is animated by sentiments of most cordial goodwill towards the Egyptian Government and people, and while in common with all governments they mast reserve their liberty of action for an unknown future, they do not feel that if, notwithstanding the goodwill on both sides, there should be a failure to reach an agreement, that this need necessarily affect the good relations between the two countries which it is their hope, not merely to maintain, but to strengthen."
