NAHAS PASHA'S DISMISSAL
THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE DEMOCRACY V. AUTOCRACY (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 9. Nahas Pasha, interviewed by the Bri- , tish United Press Cairo's correspondent, said he was not surprised at his dismissal from the Premiership. He added that there had been a long period of friction"with the King. "My conscience is clear, because I did my duty fully towards Egypt and the Arab world. Governmental responsibilities did not enable me to come out openly as a fighter for democracy. I am now free to take up joyfully the struggle for liberty and democracy, not only for Egypt) but for humanity." Asked if the suspension of the Director of Public Security was the real reason for the crisis, Nahas banged the table and cried: " It was only a pretext to dismiss the Ministry. The fundamental issue is a clash between democracy and autocracy.".
