EGYPT’S SHARP REPLY.
Lively Criticism Of Britain
RIGHT TO INTERFERE CHALLENGED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received July 20, 5,5 p.m.) ALEXANDRIA, July 18. In a verbal Note, replying to a communication from Mr Macdonald, Sidky Pasha refers to the statement that the British Government does not intend to be used as an instrument in an attack against the constitution. Commenting on this Sidky Pasha says: “The declaration would have been justified if Egypt had solicited Britain’s aid, but in the absence of such a request, which Egypt, in the position of an independent state, will not be made, the declaration can only be interpreted as an interference in the affairs over which Egypt has the sovereign prerogative. Sidky Pasha expresses regret at the recent incidents. He stresses the fact that the safety and interests of foreigners will immediately be given attention, and suggests, in view of the restoration of the order, that the presence of British warships in Egyptian waters is no longer necessary.
