EGYPT’S BEST FRIEND
WHAT BRITAIN HAS DONE Prw Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, May 1. Lord Birkenhead, speaking at the Imperial Ladies’ Club dinner, said that British interposition in Egypt saved that country from ruin. No more disinterested interposition was ever made by one country in the affairs of another. Many great friends of the British Empire thought that in our unilateral agreement we went too far, but they must remember that Egypt stood at a vital arterial point of communications in the British Empire. “We know that foreign communities other than British residents in Egypt rely on us alone for their protection. It is useless to' postpone the Assemblies Bill till November, and it is unwise to postpone it to any other time, for never can any country with Imperial responsibilities and with obligations to other countries agree to such legislation.”—Australian Press AssociationUnited Service.
