The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Arthur Henderson, in the House of Commons to-day made a statement about the disorders in Egypt. He stated that at Cairo 15 demonstrations were made by mobs varying in size from 400 to 300 people.
The demonstrators threw stones and broke tram windows and street lamps. No other damage to Europeans' property had been reported. The only cases of injury to foreigners were one European tram conductor and one Hungarian injured.
The situation at Cairo was now well in hand, and no British forces were employed, either there, at Port Said, cr at Suez, where .disturbances had also occurred. The disorders were nowhere serious and thero was no participation in them by the respectable element of the population. The workers everywhere kept out of the demonstrations and remained steadily at their employment.
