LORD LLOYD PROTESTS
NEW BRITISH POLICY IN EGYPT “MARKETS THROWN AWAY” United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON* Thursday. The former High Commissioner to Egypt, Lord Lloyd, at au Empire Union luncheon, said he was sent to Egypt to guard certain vital inter ests, and to maintain the 1922 declaration in its entirety, with the result that disturbance and turbulence were replaced by peace and growing friend liness. The reserved points were maintained without a shot being fired Lord Lloyd protested against the cynicism and levity with which the present Government proposed to abandon a vital strategic position, to sacrifice Britain’s position in great markets built up by British courage and enterprise, and to abandon the helpless masses who always looked to Britain for protection and emancipation. “The same Government,” he said, “which carelessly throws away real and existing markets in the East, is willing to sell our country’s soul in order to buy the purely problematical Soviet trade in the West.”
