TREATY NEGOTIATIONS

(British Official Wirole'ss)

RUGBY, 30th March. Anglo-Egyptian negotiations will be formally and publicly opened in the Locarno Room at the Foreign Office tomorrow morning, when speeches will be made by the Foreign Secretary, MiHenderson, and the Egyptian Prime Minister, Nona's Pasha. After this session it is probable that the negotiations will develop into an expert examination of the existing draft treaty. That draft embodying proposals for a lasting and honourable settlement of the AngloEgyptian question, was drawn up in an agreement by Mr Henderson and by Mahamoud Pasha, and published last August. Mr Henderson, who in a covering note described the proposals as representing the extreme limit he could recommend the British Government to go, undertook that if the, proposals were ratified by the Egyptian Parliament he would at "once submit these to the Parliament in London, with a view to the conclusion and ratification of the treaty and carrying them into effect.
