LORD MILNER IN EGYPT.
A DRAMATIC DIALOGUE.
Et Miar publishes a résumé of the re cons conversation between Lord Milner and the Grand Mufti af Egypt. Accord ing to the journal, Lord Milner explain ed that he had called on the Mufti simply as a visitor, and said that the situation in Egypt bad,been much modifed since he had been in that country. The Mufti replied: "Yea, for the better."
Lord Milner: Egypt is, generally speaking very prosperous.
The Mufti Its progress is most strik ing from the intellectual point of view.
Lord Milner: Perhaps eo. I observe the troubled spirit of the country, of which I do not know the cause.
The Multi: That troubled spirit is due to a natural cause. After the declarations. of great Allied statesmen proclaiming principles of liberty for all peoples, Egypt, as the exception, finds her hopes frustrated and, a protectorate declared, when she was expecting independence.
Lord Milner: I consider a protectorate to be to Egypt's interest, because it de fends her against aggression. Do not the Egyptians understand that the inter ests of Great Britain and Egypt require nprotectorate? Your independence would menace our intereats in Egypt and the Orient.
The Mufti: The Egyptians do not ignore your interests and those of other Powers, but charity begins at home. I cannot agree with the protectorate solu- tion. The real solution is the indepen- dence of Egypt, with a guarantee of your interests..
Lord Milner: Discussion in this con- nection is necessary. Inasmuch as the object sought is to safeguard the interests of the two nations, discussion could settle aise points out of tea.
The Mufti: No Egyptian would enter upon a discussion excest on the basis of independence.
Lord Milner: I am certain that there are Egyptians who are disposed to treat with us, but fear keeps them back.
The Mufti: Every country has its trai- tors, but any patriot, would refuse to enter into such a discussion.
Lord Milner: Cannot you convince your compatriots of the usefulness of dis- cussion which would be more profitable than boycotting? Do not forget that we are the most powerful 'nation in the world. No country can oppose uz In asking for discussion we wish to prove our friendship. It is not to your interest that we should impose our will. More over it is not our desire to do so.

The Mufti replied: In my capacity as religious chief, I can only affirm that it is impossible to convince the nation of the utility of what I am unconvinced of myself. The entire nation claims inde pendence, and it would therefore be use THE less to speak any other language. I do not forget your power, but if Egyptians bend today before force, they will profit by the Arst occasion to revolt. The guar antee of force is not eternal. An Arab proverb says: "Fear your enemy, but fear & thousand times more your friend, for your friend may become an enemy and he will know better how to harm you. Be- tween Syria, occupied by France, and Tripoli, occupied by Italy, it is better for you that Egypt should be independent and a friend.
Lord Milder: All that does not pre- vent n loyal discussion. The Glema's message is hostile, vet I come to discuss with you
The Mufti A. message emanating from a weak nation cannot be hostile, but proclamation on your part establishing a protectorate is hostile. We can have no discussion until the protectorate in with. drawo.
