The provision of the treaty meant that Briain must protect Egyptian territory from Invasion, Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Minister, told the House in moving ratification of the phet.
The safety of Egypt is the great common interest uniting that country and the United Kingdom," said Mr. Falen.

FOUR POINTS
In entering on the negotiations it
had been the British Government's intention, by reaching an agreement on the four points reserved in 1022, to complete Egyptian Independence and sovereignty and thus to satisfy Egyptian aspirations, while, at the same time, protecting Britain's in- terests and advancing the joint in- terests of the two countries. The Your points were the security of Empire

of Egypt, protection of fureign In- terests, and rights of minorities and Şudag. He believed the terms of the Treaty did safeguard what was of vital importance to both countries and did ensure considerable advan- Lages to both; -

The Treaty stipulates, frst, that an alliance is established. Second, that nother party will adopt an attitude in regard to foreign Powers or con- clude any treaty inconsistent with the alliance. Third, that they will cansult each other with a view to the peaceful settlement of any dis- pute with their State that threatens risk of rupture with thut State. Fourth, that in the event of either party being engaged in war, the other, subject to its obligations under the Covenant, will come to its aid... which meant that His Majesty's Gov- ernment must protect Egyptian terri- tory from invasion..
SUEZ CANAL.
Passing on to the article dealing with the Suez Canal, Mr. Eden point- ed out that the Governments of the Dominions had been kept fully in- formed of the course of the negotia- tions, and he quoted from speeches by Ministers in the Governments of Australia and New Zealand express- ing satisfaction that everything had been done to continue security of the

Eden explained -Proceeding, Mr.

The Egyption Government will also over construct ronds, the most important of which will be that.

The forces in Alexandria will remain in their present position for period not exceeding eight years, which is the time considered necessary tor final completion of the new barracks. Owing, first, to the mechanisation of forces, and, second, to the per- misalon, which was reciprocat, for the Air Force to fly wherever they considered it necessary for training purposes, it had become possible to withdraw the British forces from the cities.
With regard to Sudan, while the parties reserve liberty to conclude ng conventions, it was agreed that the administration of Sudan continue to be that resulting from the Con- stitution of 1899. The Governor- General would continue to exercise the powers conferred upon him by the agreement of 1890. It Was agreed that the primary aim of the administration must be the welfare of the Sudanese.
The period for which mixed courts, with the increased judiciul jurisdiction it is proposed to give them, should be retained was one of the matters to be discussed at conference which will take place in the near future and on which dis- cursions with the Egyptian Govern- ment were proceeding. That Govern- iment was seeking revision of the system of Capitulations by
Inter- national agreement and negotiation. and the British Government belleved the Capitulatory Powers should re- culve the approaches in a reasonable and concilintery manner.
