AMUSING ROYAL TOUR. INCIDENT
Train Left Without Maniac At
The Princess
Hamilton, Ontario, Oet. 14.
Princess Elizabeth got the hardest laugh of her trip today when the Royal train pulled out without her after a ten-minute stop at St. Catharine's en route to Hamilton.
The train crew had been advised that at the end of the ten-minute stop at St Catharine's a band would play "God Save the King." The first time the brass band played it, the cheering of children drowned out the music. So, instead of boarding the train to hear the band repent it, the Princess asked them to repeat it while she stood on the platform.
The band struck up and the train moved off,
"The Princess hadn't laughed so hard in weeks,” said a member of the staff.

Cairo, Oct. 14.
Britain today offered to hand over to Egypt her Suez Canal defence base on the condition that it would "simultane- ously become an Allied base within the Allied Middle East Command."
The text of the British proposals on Middle East defence and the administration of the Sudan made to the Egyptian Government yesterday were released here today.
Also released was the text of the four-Power proposals submitted
jointly by Britain, the United States, France and Turkey, inviting Egypt to accept "a position of high authority and responsibility within the Allied Middle East Command.'
The British note said that if Egypt joined the new command Britain would agree to the supersession of the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian treaty and withdraw such British forces not allocated to the Allied- Middle East Command.
But it added that Britain would not permit a change in the status of the Sudan without the full agreement of the Sudanese people,

HE British proposals concerning The future of the Suez Cance Zone and
the Sudan offer to Egypt an opportunity for her to play a dignified and valuable role in international affairs. Britain's gesture is generous:* she is willing to sacrifice her Suez Canal
becomes base provided Egypt partner in the proposed Middle East defence scheme and agrees to allow the Canal zone to become an Allied base. In effect this means the supersession of the 1986 Anglo-Egyptian treaty which Egypt Bays she intends unilaterally to abrogate. Both the British proposals and the four power Middle East defence alliance are challenge to Egyptian statesmanship. There is nothing mean or intimical about them. Egyptian aspirations are given due consideration and Egyptian sovereignty fully protected within their framework. The invitation is for Egypt to become a willing and substantial partner in an alliance, which seeks only to preserve the peace and security of the democracies. The future security of Egypt is just as much at stake as any of the other Middle East nations and the countries of western Europe. It is. inconceivable that Egypt can remain blind to this fact or that she can fail to appreciate the value of the offer con- tained within the British proposals. Emphasis is properly placed on Egypt's position in the free world and of the vital necessity for her defences against aggression being fully secured. The Middle East alliance envisages Egypt as an equal partner with the rest of the participating nations, with Egyptian officers fulfilling positions of high authority and responsibility within the Middle East Command, Egypt would Veleontinue to conduct her own Internal
Fraley, and would be asked only to make Availible to the Command military, and
other bases in order to consolidate the common defences of the Middle East, These are practical and sensible proposals which, if accepted, renders unnecessary unilateral abrogation of a contractual treaty. Egypt can not only achieve her desires in having the 1936 treaty set aside, and in a way which leaves no feelings of rancour or outrage, but she can enjoy a guarantee that her frontiers will be fully protected against aggression. Her rejection of the alliance and the complementary British offer can only deepen and broaden a crisis of Egypt's own making and leave Egypt a 'prey to potential Communist aggression. On the question of the future of the Sudan Britain correctly adopts the attitude that the desires of the Sudanese must be taken into considera- tion and that Britain cannot be a party to subjugation of the country to Egyptian sovereignty without consent of the people. In the interim it is suggested that an International commission be appointed to reside in the Sudan as a guardian of the country's constitutional developments, and that an to international pact be reached guarantee the Nile Waters Agreement. Egyptian interests in the Sudan are fully recognised, particularly her dependency on the development of the Nile resources. Egypt is not in a position to carry out the essential developments, but she has a párt to play in the task, It is suggested she can most effectively do this by becoming a partner.
