MOTION OF NO-CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT. PASSED BY MEETING OF WAFD. SIDKY PASHA’S POSITION. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) CAIRO, July 20. In defiance of King Faud’s refusal to convene a special session the Wafd after midnight held a meeting of the so-called Parliament in the Saadist Club and passed a motion of no-confidence in the Government. Nahas Pasha subsequently declared that the non-co-operation movement would commence immediately, with non-pay-ment of taxes.

Sidky Pasha, in an exclusive interview with the “Daily Express," said; “I am master of the situation and intend to remain so. The Wafd has become a definitely revolutionary party and has forced a conflict with tho King. I have made every preparation for the worst and will deal ruthlessly with all attempts to disturb established order. ” A FLAMING ARTICLE. CALL ON CANADA FOR TROOPS. (Received Sunday, 11.13 p.m.) MONTREAL, July 27. “La Presse,” the French-Canadian newspaper which enjoys the largest circulation in Canada, either in the English or French language, publishes a flaming article saying that there is a grave situation in Egypt and that Britain had determined to call on Canada for troops.
