EGYPTIAN POLITICS
GOVERNMENT’S TACTICS. AGAINST THE NATIONALISTS. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received May 2 at 5.5 p.m.) CAIRO, May 1. The authorities adroitly averted a threatened political situation by taking its organisers for a ride. It seems that Nahas Pasha and many of his followers broke through a police cordon set up at the Cairo railway station, and despite their broken hands, they boarded a train leaving for Tantah, intending (o open there the campaign of boycotting the elections. The police, however, uncoupled three carriages containing the agitators, and ran them into a suburban station. Then they invited Nahas and his party to detrain. They refused to do this, and the train then went on to the desert, where the party were marooned. The joy-riders eventually left the train peacefully.
