The disturbances in the Sudan are attributed, by the London newspapers, to Egyptian Nationalist propaganda on the eve of impending negotiations between Zagia! Pasha, who is at present taking the waters at Vichy, and Mr. MacDonald, the British Premier, on the subject of the Sudan.
It may be recalled that Zaglut, speaking in the Chamber at Cairo on June 28, declared that the Egyptian Nations would Dever abandon its rights to the Sudan, because it was impossible for Egypt to live without the Sudan:

DUBLIN, August 12" At the meeting of the Dall, President Cosgrave introduced a Bill, similar to the British'document, for the purpose of supplementing the Anglo-Irish Treaty. He asked the Dall to adjourn until October 21, when the remaining stages would be taken.
LABOUR OPPOSITION. ***
Mr. Johnson, the Labourite leader, asked the Dail not to agree to the first reading of the Bill..

The Dail decided to sit till the finish of the debate.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S REGRETS. (Reuter's American Service!)
WASHINGTON, August 12. President Coolidge, while encouraged by progress at the inter-allled conference, regrets that the question of the Allies' war debts has become involved in the reparations, issue,"
of New York, is described, in the announcement, as payable in time of war as well as peace, irres- pective of the nationality of the holder and without any declaration regarding citizenship.
The" World," says it is an amazing contract, which is probably unique in American Finance. It is ap the|parently brought about by the Japanese Exclusion. Act and the known fears of American Investors of the possibility of war between Japan and the United States. The wording is designed to ap pease these fears and induce investors to acquire bonds, which they might otherwise leave alone.
The President adheres to the view that he is powerless to consider any new proposals as regards the debts due to the United States, as Congress has specifically laid down the term of settlements.
