PROPOSALS FOR TREATY.
DOMINIONS KEPT INFORMED. Australian anil N.Z. Press Association. LONDON. Aug. 0. It is authoritatively stated that the Foreign and Dominions Offices arc convinced that the proposed treaty with Egypt would be specially advantageous to Australia and New Zealand, because it would ensure a greater and more permanent control of the Suez Canal than has been possible hitherto.
It is pointed out that under the proposed treaty British troops would be entitled to establish a line of military protect ion about 25 miles west of the canal. The British authorities state that the resolutions passed at the Imperial Conference of 1926 about consulting the Dominions were meticulously carried out on this occasion. The Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Bruce and Sir Joseph Ward, were fully informed step by step of every actual or prospective development. They were still being fully informed.
