EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.

LONDON CONVERSATIONS KEPT SECRET.

(Aus. ard N.Z (We Assn) CAIRO, Nov. 26.

The greatest secrecy is maintained concerning the results of the conversations between Sarwat Pasha and Sir Austin Chamberlain in London. It is rumoured that some sort of arrangement was provisionally reached for cooperation between British and Egyptian military and aviation forces in the Soudan.

The newspaper El Ahram says the British Foreign Office communicated the results of the conference to the Dominions, explaining why it considered it necessary to modify the British position in Egypt, on the basis of the principles agreed on. In the course of conversations Sarwat had agreed not to disclose anything concerning this until the Dominions had been consulted. Consequently ho is awaiting Sir Austin Chamberlain’s release before making a statement to the Egyptian Parliament. “Fl Ahram’’ affirms that while the Egyptian Government and all parties are completely in agreement. the British Government is itself divided.
