BRITAIN'S POLICY IN EGYPT.
INDEPENDENCE WITH SAFEGUARDS.
Nothing Like ZAM BUK for CHILDREN'S HEADS
In the House of Commons on February 26th. Mr. Lloyd George made an important statement outlining the new policy to be adopted with regard to Egypt. He said: The White Paper to be laid before the House will show what has passed since the declaration of policy made by his Majesty's Government in December after the failure of Ailly Pasha's Mission to Endon. It also ecntals the declaration of policy upon which his Majesty's Goreroment, in pursu ance of the principles laid down in Decem ber, now propose to proceed. We have long recognised and said that the protectorate wa no longer a satisfactory form of relationship between the British Empire and Egypt, but"
Experience proves that there's we have also said that owing to the peculiar nothing like Zam-Buk for the children's geographical position of Egypt the Frohendis.

At the present youngsters cannot afford to be without Zam- moment there is no Egyptian Government Buk. which could go so far as to enmurait their country to a treaty relationship with Gmat Britain of a nature to afford usulequate safe guards in these matters, and his Majesty's Government have, therefore, letermined to proceed by a unilateral declaration.
In this
cours: they enjoy the wholehearted support of Lord Allenby and of the British officials of all ranks in the service of the Egyptian Government, and they are roufdent that their action will be equally endorsed by Parliament and by public opinion in this country.
There are three points in the declaration: 1. The Protectorate is terminated and Egypt is free to work out such national institutions as may be best suited to the aspirations of her peuple.
2. Martial law will be abolishel as sova as an Act of Indemnity has been passed. On this a word of explanation is necessary. Martial law has not been used in the main, as some people suppose, to enforce British poly upon Egypt. It has been, on the contrary, the main instrument of govern- ment in the hands of Egyptian Ministers for certain important measures arising out of war conditions-such, for instaner,"as the regulation of house rents and the levy. ing of certain taxes. An Act of Indemnity is, therefore, necessary before any Egyptian Government can dispensa with martial law. It is for the Egyptian Government to pass the necessary legislation, but we undertak to impose no obstacles provided the fal clause of the Declaration is duly observed.
3. This final clause defines the special relation between his Majesty's Governmvat and Egypt. It belares that the following four matters are häolutely reserve:l to the discretiga of his Majesty's (overluner :
(a) The security of the communications of the British Empire in Egypt.
(b) The defence of Egypt against all foreign aggression.
(e) The protection of foreign interests" in Egypt and the protection of minorities.
(d) The Sondan.

FOREIGN POWIES WARNED OFF.
I must make another point clear. We regard the special relations between sur- selves and Egypt defined in this clause as matter concerning only burselves and the Government of Egypt. Foreign' Powers are not ennennel, and we propose to sate this mistakeably when the terminatiou of the Protectorate is notified to them. The welfare and integrity of Egypt are necessary to the peace and safety of the Britiske Empire, which will therefore always maintain as an essential British interest the special relations between itself and Egypt long recognised by other Governments.

The Soudan calls for more than a passing word. The combined efforts of Great Britain and Egypt were nerded to rescue that vast country from the devastation and ruin into which the Mahdist movement had plunged it.

The declaration conforms closely to the policy laid down by agreement at the Imperial Conference and fully covers, all matters there defined as essential to Imperial security.
Lord Allenby has returned to Egypt. in complete agreement with the course of action now recommended to Parlia ment. His character, his achievements; and his handling of a very difficult situa tion during the past three years in Egypt have given him an exerptional position with tuc Egyptian peuple, and we hard complete confidence that the interests of the British Empire and the cause of a good understanding between ourselves and the Egyptian proplo are equally secure in his hands.
