“LASTING AND HONOURABLE SETTLEMENT” TEXT TO BE PUBLISHED IN A FEW DAYS (United Press Association.—By Electric » Telegraph.—Copyright.) Australian Press Association. (Rec. August 4, 11 p.m.) London, August 3. The Foreign Office announces that Mr. A. Henderson had a final interview with the Prime Minister of Egypt, and reported to him that the Cabinet sub-committee had completed the examination of the proposals for a lasting and honourable settlement of the Anglo-Egyptian question. The text of the proposals will be published in a few days. HINT AT EVACUATION Australian Press Association. (Rec. August 4, 11 p.m.) London,-August 3. The “Sunday Express” says Britain to all intents and purposes is going to evacuate Egypt. It is most important to know what is going to happen in the Soudan, which has been made prosperous through the energy of Englishmen.

MINISTERIAL APPROVAL ANTICIPATED (Rec. August 4, 5.5 p.m.) London, August 1 3. The “Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent affirms that no draft of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty exists, but only a document embodying the points of agreement for submission to a full Cabinet meeting next week. It is expected that Ministers will readily assent, seeing that the proposals are already approved by Mr. MacDonald and Lord Thomson as well as Mr. Henderson.
