BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S

SYMPATHY

ernment views sympathetically the Anglo-Egyptian draft treaty drawn up by the Egyptian negotiators.

This draft treaty, "El Mokattam" says, will comprise the following:-

The British High Commissioner in Egypt will become Ambassador and the Egyptian Minister in London will be raised to ambassadorial rank; The Soudan Treaty of 1899 (under which the Sondan was to be adminis-. tered jointly by Britain and Egypt) to be recognised; '; '

Soudan debts to Egypt will be re- cognised;

A small portion of the Egyptian Army will return to the Soudant

Britain will relinquish her claims fer the protection of minorities;
