OUTLOOK IN EGYPT.
ASSURANCES IN PARLIAMENT. British Official Wireless RUGBY. July 23. Replying in a Parliamentary answer to-day to a request for particulars of last Monday’s disorders in Egypt, the Foreign Secretary, Mr Arthur Henderson, said that in Cairo fifteen demonstrations took place, varying in size from 400 to 300 people. The demonstrators threw stones and broke tram windows and street property. No other damage to European property had been reported. The only cases of injury to foreigners were one European tram conductor and one Hungarian injured. The situation in Cairo was now well in hand, and no British forces were employed either there or in Port Said and Suez, where disturbances had also .occurred. The disorders, he added, were nowhere serious, and there was no participation in them by the respectable elements of the population. Workers everywhere kept out of the demonstrations and remained steadily at their employment.
