NOT CONTESTED
Anglo-Egyptian Rights at Lake Tana ATTITUDE OF ITALY (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, November 11. Replying to a Parliamentary question, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, said the Government had no reason to suppose that the Italian Government had any thought of contesting the validity of British and Egyptian rights in Lake Tana as set out in the 1906 Treaty and 1925 exchange of Notes. The Italian Government had on several occasions during the last year or 18 months indicated its intention to respect these rights.

Mr. Eden said he understood that similar assurances were conveyed direct to the Egyptian Government
