ZAGHLUL.
EGYPT WELL RID OF HIM. BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S OPINION. Received March 15, 8.30 p.m. LONDON, March 15. Captain Wedgwood Benn, 'in the House of Commons, raised the Egyptian question. He said the Government had now conceded Zaghlul’s demands. What were they going to do about that patriot? Mr. Chamberlain, replying, recalled Zaghlul’s record, which was very bad. He was a follower of Arabi Pasha, was an open sympathiser with Turkey during the war and was an initiator of the violent campaign which terminated in the disturbances in March 1919. There was a sigh of relief when he was deported and he would not be brought back while he was a danger to the peace of Egypt.
