FOREIGN PRIVILEGES IN EGYPT
CONFERENCE TO CONSIDER
ABOLITION
(Received August 13, 5.5 p.m.)
LONDON, August 12.
The Cairo correspondent of “The Times” corrects a previous impression that Britain had agreed to the immediate abolition of capitulations. Instead, these will be reviewed at an international conference which Egypt is summoning at the end of the year, when Britain will morally support the eventual abolition of mixed courts as well as fiscal and legislative capitulations.
The Prime Minister (Nahas Pasha) has already pledged that there should be no discrimination against foreigners.
