Dominions' Misgivings On Egypt Withdrawal

LONDON, MAY 9..

AN AUTHORItative source disclosed LAST NIGHT THAT AT LEAST TWO BRITISH DOMINIONS LOOK WITH SOME MISGIVING ON THE BRITISH GOV. ERNMENT'S DECISION TO WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM EGYPT.

THIS SOURCE STATES THAT REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNION OF SOUTH ARFICA HERE WERE "PARTICULARLY CONCERNED" WITH THE PECI-・ SION AND THAT THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD BE "VERY DISTURBED" IF IT LEFT THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH WITHOUT A BASE FOR MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE EVENT OF WAR.

Neither Field-Marshai Jan Christian Smuts, South Africa's Prime Minister, nor Dr. H. V. Evatt, Australian Minister for External Affairs, issued a public statement on the situation.
