BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S HANDS TIED EVACUATION PREFERRED BY TAXPAYERS BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. —Copyright. London, Alarch 8. The “Morning Post’s” Cairo correspondent says: “In view of the agitations in Britain for withdrawals from Mesopotamia and Palestine on financial grounds, it is felt that the British Government’s hands are tied as regards Egypt. It is believed that British taxpayers would rather evacuate Egypt than pay for garrisoning it until the country is fit to relieve England of all local Governmental responsibilities.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. DEATH PENALTY FOR BOMB POSSESSORS ZAGHLULISTS’ CAMPAIGN TO CONTINUE London, Alarch 8.
