EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.
HOPES OF AN AGREEMENT. LONDON, Nov. 6. [ft view of the speech of Viscount Milner in the House of Lords yesterday in which he stated that there was no reason to suppose that the Egyptian Nationalists were generally hostile to Britain or that the attainment of their aspirations was necessarily inconsistent with the safeguarding of British interests, the Egyptian delegation will probably postpone its departure from London in anticipation of a fresh conference with Viscount Milner. Zaghlul Pasha stated that the speech had produced very good impressions. He paid tribute to Viscount Milner’s ability and sympathy, and said that Viscount Milner had endeavoured to build the Empire, not by force, but by friendly means. Despite the difficulties and misunderstandings, Zaghlul has not abandoned hope of an agreement, which all Egyptian patriots desired. The granting of independence to the Egyptians would be a [Sermanent Anglo-Egyptian link of friendship.
