EGYPT AND THE EMPIRE.

MR. CHURCHILL'S AMBIGUITY CAUSES AN AGITATION.

LONDON, February 27. .

There has been considerable agitatiom'iy Egypt over the summary of Mr. Winston Churchill's speech at the Reading banquet cabled on February 14 attributing to him the statement that Egypt was part of the Empice. I appears that what Mr. Churchill said was that this principle (common con- sultation among the 'members of British Empire) would be found to have its usefulness in relation to countries and nations as far apart and as widely different as Ireland and Egypt, while, after referring to Sir A. Bannerman's solution of the difficulties in South Africa, be expressed confidence that in a few years our present difficulties would be greatly diminished and the nations now a reproach and a stumbling block to the supreme cause that the English-speaking unien has at heart may be found managing their own affairs within the elastic circle of the British Empire.

BRITAIN, AND AMERICA.

ALARMIST FEARS OF TROUBLE RIDICULED.

LONDON, February 38.

In the course of a valedictory address at a Pilgrims' banquet. Mr. Davis ridiculed the reports spread by alarmists regarding possible trouble between Britain and America. Neither country had legitimate aims which the co-operation of the other would not promote and neither was likely to sacrifice traditional unwillingness to throw difficulties in the scales of justice for the verdict of impartial minds. Mr. Davis admitted the existence of enemies who would underuice British and American friendship but we should forestail them in the open.
