the way to an African empire whist shall surpass in extent our Indian one, or to a gigantic collapse which shall rob us of both ? Into this problem as we are now conceiving it, no questions of how we got into Egypt should enter. We are only considering the advantages and the risks present and future of s continued occupation. So stated, the The question resolves itself into one largely dependent on facts open to everybody. Egypt lies on the great trade route which connects, and must always con- pect, the eastern and western shores of the Old Continent. No discovery, or invention, or political scheme, or pro- tective impost
can seriously affect it: neither commercial combinations nor labour laws can make a manently cheaper route for a ton of goods from the coasts of Chins and Judia to those of Europe than that [ through the Red Sea and Mediterranean. On this world line we have established enrselves at Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, Ceylon, Penang, Singapore, Hongkong. Our policy has been a consistent one and it has been appropriate to our gies and our means. For these stations form to all intents and purposes a string of island forte, easy to hold, difficult zo capture, nurturing our trade in pease 188 and protecting it in war. Now the
occupation of Egypt, whether for good' or for evil, is a break to this policy. 188 The geographical position and character of the country are entirely different from those of the other stations on the route to the East. And its military, characteristics are, if possible, more different still. Is it then possible for England to hold on to Egypt in war? HONGKONG REGISTER.
