FREEDOM OF ACTION
ANGLO-EGYPTIAN TREATY,
(British Official Wireless.) (Received February 11,11.20 a.m.) RUGBY, February 10. The Foreign Secretary was asked at question time in the House of Commons for an assurance that in view of the changed international situation the complete freedom of action of his Majesty's Government in the negotiations for a Treaty with Egypt would not be restricted by the terms of the earlier draft treaties. Mr. Eden replied: "The principle that no Government can be bound by the provisions of an inconclusive previous negotiation is, of course, well recognised in international practice. In the present negotiations the application of this principle must naturally be governed by the mutual interests of the two countries.
