POLITICAL CRISIS
EGYPTIAN PARLIAMENT DISSOLUTION DEGREE ELECTION TO BE HELD By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright CAIRO, Feb. 2 A Royal decree issued to-day dissolved Parliament and ordered a general election. The former Prime Minister, Nahas Pasha, visited the Palace, taking a petition to King Farouk, asking him to appoint a new Ministry pending the election. The dissolution decree followed an all-night sitting of the Cabinet, which confessed its inability to face Nahas Pasha's threatened no-con-fidence motion^
The Prime Minister, Malimoud Pasha, declined to resign, preferring a dissolution. He is confident ho will bo returned with a majority at tho election, which will be held within two months. It appeared as though a unique stayin striko would be witnessed when Wafdist deputies raced to Parliament immediately after the dissolution decree was issued and installed themselves in the building before tho police could carry out tho order not to allow anyone to enter. Later, however, the Wafdists left the Chamber, which is now guarded by polico. King Farouk for the third time interrupted his honeymoon and hastened to Cairo.
